Welcome to your mountain home away from home—a spacious, newly refreshed retreat made for families and groups who want plenty of room to gather and plenty to do without leaving the house.
From lake views and evenings in the hot tub to pool tournaments, poker nights, movies by the fire, and a dedicated kids' retreat downstairs, this home was designed for time together.
MAIN FLOOR Great Room
The heart of the home features soaring wood-paneled ceilings, comfortable updated furnishings, and plenty of space for the whole group to gather.
Enjoy:
Wood-burning fireplace Large Smart TV Formal dining table with seating for 12 Additional table perfect for games, puzzles, or casual meals Comfortable conversation and lounging area Mountain-lodge atmosphere with abundant natural light Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen makes feeding a group easy, with updated stainless-steel appliances and plenty of room for preparing family meals.
You'll also find a Keurig coffee maker that can brew either a full pot or individual cups—because mountain mornings require coffee.
Outlaw Saloon + Game Room
One of the home's standout spaces, the newly upgraded Outlaw Saloon gives your group its own private game room.
Challenge everyone to:
A game on the full-size pool table Poker night at the dedicated poker table Drinks and conversation around the cocktail tables Movie night or the big game on the 65-inch Smart TV
With bar-style seating and plenty of room to hang out, this is the perfect after-ski, rainy-day, or late-night gathering spot.
