As you step into this cozy living room flooded with natural light, and spy the cheery wood stove in the corner, peace and comfort immediately take the place of worldly cares. A full bath is just to the left with a combination tub and shower and geometric marble tile.

Moving further in, the space opens up into a kitchen/dining area completely surrounded by windows, allowing you to enjoy the dreamy river view and the bright green of the surrounding foliage. The thoughtfully appointed, sleek kitchen with its light wood and crisp white cabinetry will keep this room bright even on overcast days, while the room’s simplicity allows the beauty of nature to act as the bulk of the room’s artwork.

Nature & What to pack:
We urge guests to pay close attention when enjoying nature, weather can change quickly and wild animals can be surprising. Because temperatures in the mountains can fluctuate widely, even in the height of summer, we recommend packing sweaters and light, cold-weather gear just in case. Depending on the activities you plan, we recommend packing hiking, running, swimming, horseback riding, and/or running gear. We also recommend that guests consider spraying clothes with Permethrin when walking outside, to help avoid ticks. In winter we recommend guests pack several layers of warm clothing and ensure that their vehicles are ready for potential snowfall. For other clothing, most venues around are very casual.
