The heart of this stunning cabin is an open concept great room with a stacked-stone gas fireplace, comfortable leather seating, and 55" Roku-equipped Smart HDTV, secured to a rolling entertainment center to ensure the perfect view for your whole crew. Don't feel like watching TV?

Each morning, help yourself to our complimentary, fully stocked coffee bar. Complete with everything you need to make YOUR perfect cup of joe, we're proud to offer a Keurig, drip coffee, french press, pour over coffee, tea kettle, and coffee grinder. We also keep the bar stocked with K-cups, tea bags, hot chocolate, sugar, Truvia, half and half, and cookies.

Our kitchen island has seating for 4 to keep you company while you prepare dinner. An outdoor grill is available to round out the cooking amenities.

The sleeping arrangements provide privacy and space for everyone. The main level king bedroom has direct access to the back deck, a dedicated working space, and ensuite bathroom.
