The photos of this house don't do it justice! The interiors are so open all throughout, with incredible views out to the mountains in all but two smaller bedrooms. Very mountain meets modern. Seeing stunning vistas from the kitchen, the dining table, the living area, the master bedroom... you don't even need to leave the house to get the mountain experience.
This space was incredibly clean, well-kept, and the interiors were in great condition - you can tell a lot of effort went into making this a great destination. Given current covid conditions, we cooked all our meals here at the house. The kitchen was super stocked with all of our cooking needs.
Parents & pet owners: the large deck you see in the photos is completely contained against the house (it's up on a slope), so you can let your little ones scurry inside and out without fear of someone running away. This house is also at the very end of a long dirt road that clearly doesn't get much traffic, so you are very secluded and this is very private! We found ourselves staring face to face with a black bear at the bottom of the driveway one morning while walking our dogs, but he/she was just as stunned as we were.
For all of the awesome seclusion this house provides, you're only about a 10 minute drive to the grocery store just at the bottom of the mountain, if you forget any last minute items. Also, super easy to access this house if you are coming from I-40.
Our favorite things to do were to watch the sunrise come over the mountains from the master bedroom, while still in the comfort of our bed... and in the evening: roast s'mores on the fire pit out on the deck overlooking the mountains.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat, and are already checking our calendars for another future weekend. Thank you Kate!
