INDOORS: Timeless Character Meets Modern Comfort
Step inside Rocktop Lodge, where classic architectural details, rich wood finishes, and thoughtfully curated furnishings create a warm yet sophisticated retreat. Spanning three levels, the lodge blends the charm of a historic river estate with the comforts of an upscale getaway.
Main Level – Gather, Relax & Entertain
The main level is the heart of the lodge, featuring expansive living and dining areas, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, and two full bathrooms.
The grand living room is designed for gathering, with an oversized sectional, a built-in bar, poker table, and 60-inch TV. Just steps away, the adjoining parlor offers a more intimate setting to curl up with a book, enjoy conversation, or unwind in front of the 54-inch TV.
The spacious kitchen is equipped for everything from leisurely breakfasts to memorable group dinners, featuring a professional-grade double refrigerator, two ovens, and a gas range. There's even a milkshake maker for a little nostalgic summer fun!
In the formal dining room, a beautiful hardwood table seats eight, surrounded by vintage wood paneling and custom built-in cabinetry that evoke the elegance and character of a classic mountain lodge.
Main Level Bedrooms
The Muir Suite – King Retreat
Named in the spirit of the region's majestic redwoods, the Muir Suite offers a peaceful and inviting retreat. Featuring a comfortable king bed, 42-inch TV, and private en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, this beautifully appointed bedroom is designed for rest and relaxation.
