We invite you to our bit of paradise to reconnect and recharge.Our mountain cabin boasts a unique layout. All bedrooms are located on the lower level along with two full bathrooms. The upper level is a great open room including fireplace, living/dining, kitchen space with bar, and a 1/2 bathroom. The two levels are connected by a charming spiral staircase. A tree stands tall in the center of the great room and the views are magnificent all the way around. Firewood for the stone fireplace is provided outside as you go upstairs to enter the property. We provide a starter kit of supplies for the kitchen and bathroom (see Welcome Guide for details). Two levels of decking offer vistas of the mountains and wooded areas surrounding our home.

But there is easy access to both levels via the exterior stairs.**Please note that while we are located only 4 tenths of a mile from the ski resort, this route is not conducive to walking. It can be very busy with lots of curves, snow banks, and does not have sidewalks.

We can provide directions if you wish to walk.
