Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a longer retreat, this cozy home makes it easy to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Sleeping arrangements
The cottage comfortably hosts up to four guests with two thoughtfully furnished bedrooms. For extra accommodations, the living room sofa turns into a queen bed.

The second bedroom offers additional sleeping space, making the home ideal for couples, families, or close friends traveling together. Extra pillows and blankets are provided to ensure everyone rests comfortably.

The living area is a warm gathering spot with a cozy indoor fireplace, board games, and a TV for quiet evenings in. A small reading nook creates the perfect corner to curl up with a book after a day of hiking or skiing.

Kitchen and dining
The newly updated kitchen comes equipped with brand-new appliances, cooking basics, and thoughtful extras like a blender, coffee maker, and Keurig machine. Guests can prepare meals with ease, from hearty breakfasts to home-cooked dinners. Enjoy your creations at the dining table indoors or carry them outside to the deck or patio for a meal in the fresh mountain air. Wine glasses and barbecue utensils are also on hand for more leisurely evenings.

Outdoor living
Step out onto the large deck each morning to sip coffee surrounded by lodgepole pines, or settle into the fenced patio at the end of the day. Here, a brand-new hot tub awaits, offering a soothing soak under the crisp mountain sky. The outdoor space also features a grill, dining area, and comfortable furniture, creating a private retreat where you can enjoy meals, conversation, or stargazing well into the evening.

As soon as we walked it, we felt like we were at home. Dawn was our favorite time of day because the sun would pierce through the clerestory windows, creating a warm, golden light throughout the living area. the bed was firmly comfortable. the kitchen was very well equipped. it is on the smaller side, but it is incredibly comfortable with plenty of space for your belongings. I recommend this place for smaller groups or a nice couples retreat.

The space was lovely, bright and airy. The square footage was really maximized, and felt like it had everything you needed without feeling small or cramped. I loved the layout, and my kids loved the bunk beds. I didn't find the master mattress super comfortable, but my husband had no issues! Beautifully decorated and very clean. There is a lovely hiking spot about a three-minute-walk away (Pine Knot if I remember correctly), beautiful at sunset with a lake view. The alpine slide area was walkable, and there were multiple restaurants right there as well. The host was friendly. We would definitely come back and stay again.
