THE SPACE
Gold Rain Retreat offers the warmth and character of a true mountain home with the comfort and convenience of new construction. The timber-frame design, mountain views, outdoor living areas, and spacious layout make it ideal for larger groups while still feeling cozy enough for a quiet mountain escape.
The main level offers true single-level living, including a king primary suite with a stepless walk-in shower. Guests can gather in the main living area by the indoor gas fireplace, take in the mountain views, relax on the porch swing, or cook together in the fully equipped kitchen.
The lower level includes a junior king suite, a queen guest room, and a bunk room with queen-over-queen and twin-over-twin bunks — giving families and groups plenty of room to spread out. This level also features the Gold Rain Arcade room with arcade games and a shuffleboard table for hours of entertainment.
Additional comforts include TVs in all bedrooms with YouTube TV access, ceiling fans, professionally installed 1 Gig fiber Wi-Fi, a propane tankless water heater for constant hot water, an outdoor grill with direct propane connection, a hot tub, an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, and an EV charger in the garage.
