A WOODED HIDEAWAY
Put down that smartphone and pick up a s'mores stick!
Catch some fresh mountain air on the second-floor wrap-around deck looking out over the woods. With room to dine, lounge, and grill, this space is your group's own private treetop haven. Propane heaters keep you toasty, even on chilly fall days and cool spring evenings.
Relax in the latest addition to Feels Like Heaven, your own private 7-person outdoor hot tub. Immerse yourself and let the jets provide a soothing massage to your tired muscles. It is a perfect way to end a fun day in total relaxation.
Pull up a stump at the outdoor fire pit, make s'mores, and keep the conversation going long after the stars come out under the soothing sounds of the crackling fire —you'll always find a full stack of firewood waiting for you.
Kick back and enjoy a great book while relaxing in one of the Adirondack chairs in your favorite spot on the wrap-around deck or on the private primary bedroom balcony overlooking the woods.
Or, enjoy a relaxing stroll on the quiet private trail right outside of the chalet, where tall evergreen pines and Rhododendrons surround you.
A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
Share stories around the two-story stone fireplace in the living room, where soaring, high floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the trees. Relax and sink into the incredibly comfortable large leather sectional that calls out to you to kick back and enjoy the flickering flames emanating from the fireplace.
Or, whip up a batch of hot cocoa and make your way down to the Great Room, where you can cue up on the pool table, show off your skills on the Xbox, or have a movie night on the flat screen. All while enjoying the warmth of the Great Room's stone wood-burning fireplace.
Pass evenings in the game room with friendly competitions of shuffleboard, ping pong, foosball, or darts, while rooting for your favorite team on the wall-mounted TV.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is equipped with everything you need to cook up a fantastic meal, with modern appliances and extras like spices, a waffle maker, and a crockpot—plus plenty of cookware and glassware. With its peninsula-style countertop featuring a breakfast bar for 4 and ample granite counter space, you'll spend as much time laughing and chatting here as you will cooking.
Share your culinary creations in the dining area - perfect for a foodie gathering. With a stone accent wall, wood farm table, and charming rustic chandelier, this welcoming space invites everyone to settle in and spend time together hours after the last dish is cleared.
SLEEP LIKE A DREAM
Each of the five bedrooms features very comfortable mattresses, warm furnishings, LED TVs, a ceiling fan, and great windows to catch morning views of the natural scenery.

The Deer and Fox bedrooms—located on the second floor—each have rustic, custom-built wood bunk beds. The bottom bunk is queen-size, while the top is an extra-long twin. This floor is also home to the Squirrel bedroom, which has a queen bed and a great comfy feel.
Hibernate in the Bear bedroom — a private downstairs escape with a queen bed. Or claim the enchanting third-floor bedroom suite, where you'll wake in a cozy queen bed. Open the suite's French doors to a private balcony high in the trees.
Three full bathrooms — a primary en-suite with shower/tub combo, a second-floor bathroom with shower/tub combo, and the ground-floor bathroom with a walk-in shower make it easy to refresh after a day of fun-filled activities.
Tiny guests will feel at home here, too; the house offers a portable crib, baby gates, and a pack-n-play.
