With a big screen TV plus a game table with foosball and air hockey toppers, entertainment awaits.
Lounge on the sofa with a movie playing, treats on the coffee table, and your partner by your side. Play games whenever you like or relax with a good book in the armchair with the electric fireplace setting the mountain mood. During the day, you can spot the towering trees outside, and there are reading lamps on log tables for evening light while you chat with your bestie, read a new book, or settle in for movie night.

"Everything was beautiful"
"The overall stay was great and clean! But the smoke detector went off two nights in a row. Went to ask upstairs and downstairs neighbors if anything had happened for them to set it off but they were just as confused as we were."
