Welcome to your mountain home away from home—a spacious, newly refreshed retreat made for families and groups who want plenty of room to gather and plenty to do without leaving the house.

From lake views and evenings in the hot tub to pool tournaments, poker nights, movies by the fire, and a dedicated kids' retreat downstairs, this home was designed for time together.
