Easy access to bathrooms makes getting ready for dinners and showering off after hikes much more convenient. The kids will love having sleepovers in the queen-size bed of their room on the entry level while parents enjoy peace and quiet in the king-size bed of the primary suite beyond the open-air balcony. After restful nights of sleep, step out of the loft bedroom to incredible mountain views in the dreamy morning light from the craftsmen rocking chairs on the balcony.
Rec Room

Step outside to the covered porch to watch serene rainfall over the mountains before stepping back inside to take your turn on the pool table.
