Bear Hug Retreat! 3BD/2.5BA Tranquil Mt Home
Bear Hug Retreat, our cozy 3 BR home set in the picturesque Colorado mountains in Forest Lakes north of Bayfield & east of Durango. George the Bear & his little buddy Sam will greet you on the large wrap-around porch with plenty of places to sit & enjoy the mountain air & beautiful views. Plenty of space for a group of friends/family to come together to play games or cook meals in our well-appointed kitchen. Close to many attractions like fishing, hiking, skiing, etc. It's the perfect getaway!
Welcome to our exquisite home, a perfect retreat for your upcoming stay. With its thoughtfully designed spaces and delightful amenities, this listing promises an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.
Step into the inviting living space, where you'll find not one, but two cozy areas for relaxation and entertainment. Sink into the plush sectional couch, providing ample seating for everyone. Enjoy your favorite shows or movies on the smart TV, easily connecting to your preferred streaming services. As evening descends, bask in the warm glow of the indoor fireplace, creating a soothing ambiance. Natural light bathes the room, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by ceiling fans to keep you cool on warmer days.
The kitchen and dining space is a culinary haven, equipped with everything you need to prepare and enjoy delicious meals. A full-sized refrigerator ensures ample storage for your groceries, while the stove, oven, and dishwasher make meal preparation effortless. For coffee enthusiasts, a coffee maker awaits to help kickstart your mornings. Take a seat at the breakfast bar, adorned with comfortable stools, or gather around the elegant dining room table for a memorable dining experience.
Indulge in the comfort of the first bedroom, where a king-sized mattress with a luxurious bed frame promises a restful night's sleep. Store your belongings in the closet and dresser, keeping your space tidy and organized. Unwind in the presence of the ceiling fan's gentle breeze, or find solace in the accent chair. A side table with lamps and a television complete the room, while high ceilings add an extra touch of grandeur.
The second bedroom offers another haven of tranquility, boasting a king-sized mattress for ultimate comfort. Kick back and catch up on your favorite shows using the provided television, and conveniently store your belongings in the dresser. A bench and side tables with lamps add to the room's functionality and aesthetic appeal.
In the third bedroom, you'll discover two full-sized beds, perfect for accommodating additional guests. Store your belongings in the small dresser and make use of the spacious closet, providing ample storage options.
In addition to these splendid spaces, our home offers an array of extra amenities to enhance your stay. Stay connected with Wi-Fi access, and keep your wardrobe fresh with the convenience of a washer and dryer. Embrace the outdoors and enjoy the wrap-around porch, complete with comfortable outdoor furniture, where you can unwind and soak in the surrounding beauty. With a three-car garage and ample outside parking, parking is never a concern. For added entertainment, indulge in friendly competition with the foosball and ping pong tables, ensuring hours of laughter and fun.
