Fully Restored Sapphire Home: Ski & Lake
Hummingbird Hideaway was fully gutted and restored in 2025, so you're staying in a like-new mountain home, not a dated cabin with a fresh coat of paint. The slopes are 8 minutes away, Fairfield Lake's beach is about 10 minutes away, and a 60-game arcade is waiting downstairs. Four bedrooms each have their own bath, and with two living rooms and a 600 sq ft deck, 11 guests have plenty of room to spread out.
WHY GUESTS WILL LOVE IT - A full 2025 restoration: the house was gutted and rebuilt, so everything feels like new, down to the custom kitchen - A bathroom for every bedroom, so mornings don't turn into a line in the hallway - Two living rooms with 75" TVs, so the grown-ups and the kids each get their own space - A 2-player arcade with 60 classics, including Pac-Man, Galaga, and Frogger - A 600 sq ft deck with a grill, dining for the crew, a lounge area, and a 55" outdoor TV - Fiber internet, a full-house generator, and a tankless water heater that keeps hot water coming for the last shower of the night - Prices that include all fees, with no surprises at checkout
MADE FOR Winter ski trips: You're 8 minutes from Sapphire Valley ski area. Come back to the glow of the gas fireplace under vaulted, beamed ceilings, put the game on the 75" TV, and then take turns with hot showers.
Summer lake days: Fairfield Lake is about 10 minutes away, with a beach, a boat dock, and kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals. Back at the house, grill out on the deck and eat outside under the trees, which leaf out in summer and give the back of the house a shady, private feel.
Family reunions and celebrations: The dining table seats 8, the island has bar seating, and the deck holds the overflow. Events are welcome (family gatherings, birthdays, and weddings) for up to 15 attendees, with up to 11 staying overnight.
Game nights: Line up at the arcade, chase high scores on Pac-Man, and then settle in for movie night on the 75" TV. You'll find the queen sofa bed in the same downstairs living room, which makes it a natural spot for a kids' sleepover.
THE SPACE - Main living room: vaulted, beamed ceilings, a stone gas fireplace, a 75" TV, and sliding doors to the deck - Downstairs living room: a 75" TV, the 2-player arcade, and a queen sofa bed - Custom, fully stocked kitchen: a big island with bar seating, a gas range, and a French-door fridge, with a dining table for 8 just steps away - 600 sq ft deck: separate dining and lounge areas, a grill, and a 55" outdoor TV - Front porch: rocking chairs and a lighted walkway that makes late arrivals easy
SLEEPING (sleeps 11) - King bedroom with en suite bath - King bedroom with en suite bath - Queen bedroom with en suite bath - Upstairs queen bedroom with its own private bath, just outside the door - Twin sofa bed downstairs - Queen sofa bed in the downstairs living room
THE KITCHEN Pancakes for 11 or a quick Keurig before the lifts open, this kitchen handles both. It has drip and Keurig coffee makers, a KitchenAid stand mixer, blender, crockpot, air fryer, dishwasher, and an ice maker, plus everything you need to cook for a crowd.
COMFORT AND PEACE OF MIND - Fiber internet - New tankless water heater - Full-house generator, so a mountain storm won't leave you in the dark - Air conditioning, gas fireplace, washer and dryer - Corner lot with a 1-car garage, a big driveway, and side parking for 2 more cars
THE VIEW, HONESTLY In winter you can see the mountains from the back deck. In summer the trees leaf out and hide the view, and you get a shady, private wooded setting instead.
