Luxury mountain retreat w/ pond & fire pit
Summary:
Experience a luxurious mountain oasis where comfort meets nature.
- Sleeps 8 | 5 bedrooms | 9 beds | 4.5 baths
- Indoor & outdoor living rooms, gas fireplace, pavilion with wood‑burning fire
- Fully stocked kitchen, coffee bar, mixology bar, high‑speed internet
- Outdoor deck, covered pavilion, fire‑pit, BBQ grill, pond & creeks
- Dogs are allowed, under 20lbs each with a maximum of two.
- Approval in writing and $250 fee per pet is required.
The Space:
Morning light filters through the forest canopy as you step onto the front porch swing, coffee in hand, while the creek’s gentle murmur blends with birdsong. In the evening, the scent of pine mingles with the crackle of the fire‑pit as you gather around for s’mores under a sky full of stars. Every window frames sweeping woodland views, inviting you to breathe in the crisp mountain air and feel completely at ease. This private oasis offers space for family, friends, or coworkers to unwind together in a truly expansive setting.
Sleeping arrangements
- Master bedroom on the main floor: King bed, en‑suite bathroom with deep soaking tub, smart TV, forest view.
- Bedroom 2 (3rd floor): Two twin beds, ideal for children, adjacent to the playroom.
- Bedroom 3 (3rd floor): Queen bed, private en‑suite bathroom, walk‑in closet, private balcony, smart TV.
- Bedroom 4 (3rd floor): Queen bed, en‑suite bathroom, smart TV, additional twin‑bed nook, large walk‑in closet with pack‑n‑play and highchair.
- Bedroom 5 (1st floor): Queen bed, smart TV.
- Bonus sleeping area (1st floor): Twin trundle bed with access to a full bathroom and a 65‑inch smart TV.
Indoor living
The main floor features a sitting room with a 65‑inch smart TV, a formal dining room that seats eight, a sunroom, and a screened porch. A cozy indoor gas fireplace adds warmth to the living space. The top floor includes a children’s playroom, an office nook, and another living room with a 65‑inch smart TV. The bottom floor offers a large bedroom with a shared bathroom, a living room with a twin‑size trundle bed and a 65‑inch smart TV, and a covered deck with a coffee nook. Central air, heat, and two mini‑splits keep the temperature comfortable year‑round.
Outdoor living
The 2‑acre grounds host a covered pavilion with an oversized wood‑burning fireplace (currently out of order) and a spacious outdoor living area with comfortable couches, captain’s chairs, and a 16‑person dining table. A separate fire‑pit is perfect for roasting s’mores. Two creeks converge into a private pond, and bear‑proof trash cans are located on Upper Lake Road. Children can explore the woods, search for salamanders, and enjoy bird‑watching in the spring and summer.
Kitchen & dining
A fully stocked kitchen includes every appliance and cooking utensil you could desire, a coffee bar, mixology bar, Insta‑Pot, blender, and kids’ plates and cups. The kitchen breakfast bar seats three, and the indoor dining room seats eight, while the outdoor dining area accommodates sixteen guests. High‑speed internet is available throughout the home.
Neighborhood
A two‑minute drive brings you to Blue Bike Café for a spectacular breakfast. Main Street, just two minutes away, offers fine dining at Wolfgang’s Restaurant & Wine Bistro or Ristorante Paoletti, as well as boutique shopping at C’Orrico, Annawear, Bear Mountain Outfitters, and Wit’s End. The property is minutes from local wedding venues, Old Edwards, The Farm, and The Hutchinson House.
Pet policy
Dogs under 20 lb are welcome (maximum two) with written approval and a $250 fee per pet. Service animals are exempt. Cats are not permitted.
Guest guidelines
- Maximum of eight guests to preserve the home’s pristine condition.
- No smoking or vaping indoors or near open windows.
- Quiet hours: 10 PM – 8 AM.

- Up to ten cars allowed on the property; no more than ten people may stay overnight.
Enjoy a worry‑free stay in this luxury mountain retreat, where thoughtful details and professional management ensure peace for the soul.
