Hot tub, foosball, gaming consoles, fire pit, massage chairs, grilling area, card/board/yard games, DirectTV, ample cooking supplies, spacious common areas & SIX separate bedrooms make it the perfect place for big groups! Location feels secluded- wildlife pass by often- but it's near town & ski resorts. Private driveway for parking, but very steep- 4WD recommended, OR street parking is available.
The space
Charming 6 bedroom cabin that mixes *magic* (gold accents, leather, velvet, massage chairs, cozy blankets, bold colors) and homey comfort ( cotton bedding, inherited furniture pieces, painted paneling, mismatched dishware). Lots of extra amenities including fire pit, hammocks, massage chairs, foosball table, arcade game, directTV, coffee/ hot chocolate/tea, bar ice maker, and special toys just for kids.
Like it's literary namesake, the Burrow is on several levels. The parking is a steep looped drive that comes down from the street in one direction (4wd recommended in the winter). About 20 feet over, the top level of the house is down a short flight of stairs from the street. The upstairs has the kitchen and dining table with seating for 10+, a living room with fireplace/cozy seating/desk area, and three bedrooms (one plush king, one firm king, and two medium twins). Down the stairs you will find a game room with foosball table, comfy couch, two massage chairs, and wet bar area with espresso maker. The game room leads into the den with large convertible sectional, plenty of cozy throw pillows and blankets, directTV, and wii with games. Down the hall are a hall bathroom, and 3 more bedrooms (queen, queen with ensuite, and bunked twin beds.)
We have beds for 12, but will sleep up to 16 (two couches plus one giant sectional in the den that can sleep 2-4, or like 8 kids) . All Bedrooms all have clean bedding, a mix of down alternative and feather down pillows, closet space, and room darkening or blackout curtains.
Bed options:
Upstairs Front King bed- very soft plush hybrid mattress
Upstairs back king bed- firm hybrid mattress
Upstairs twin beds- medium firm hybrid mattresses
Downstairs hall queen bed- medium memory foam mattress
Downstairs ensuite queen bed- medium pillowtop hybrid mattress
Downstairs twin bunks- medium hybrid mattresses
Downstairs sectional- the ottomans fit into the sofa to create a big flat "bed" area roughly the size of two queen beds pushed together. (When we use the cabin and have a big group we throw 8-10 kids on there and put on a movie.)
Couch in the game room- pretty soft & comfy sofa for 1
Upstairs couch- comfy sofa for 1
Pack n Play
We provide extra pillows and cozy blankets for snuggling, fresh clean towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, creamer, and sugar plus some basics for cooking like spices and random packaged foods we have left up there as emergency blizzard food (mostly for us but youre welcome to use anything).
Wraparound deck. Propane BBQ grill for guest use. Downstairs there is a covered patio with faux living wall privacy screen, patio seating, a hammock, propane fire pit with Adirondack chairs, and a tie out run for dogs is out back. Double lot (parking loop takes up most of the second one). You can see your neighbors but home feels very private due to being set down below the street. Convenient location close to town. Steep driveway with parking for several vehicles. 4WD or chains recommended, or ask us where to park if you are worried about your car's abilities!
We ARE strict about no parties- it's a quiet residential area so no loud music outside, especially at night as we have had complaints/police calls. We have noise monitors in each living room. These DO NOT record- they just send an alert if there is sustained loud noise like a party- normal kids yelling won't set it off (trust me my kids are loud too!) We also have one exterior noise- activated camera facing the front stairs to monitor arrivals/keep tabs on the house.
