The house design was inspired by our travels to the Alps of France. Local Cedar wood was handcrafted to create the bar top, kitchen island and mantle.

Be sure to spark up the indoor fireplace when you arrive! The panoramic windows allow for a great view of the forest as the sun rises and sets. Create lasting memories while sitting with friends and family outside at the fire pit, gazing at the unobstructed view of the night sky with almost no light pollution!

The second bedroom also includes an extra double mattress for extra sleeping arrangements. You’ll love the modern bathroom as well, with an above-counter sink and corrugated metal shower.

The main area comfortably holds a group, with two main common spaces around the kitchen and fireplace. The kitchen is fully appointed, with a full electric stove, oven, double sink, and morning appliances.
