Nestled in the mountains, this charming log home combines rustic elegance with modern comfort. The property features an impressive large rock formation and a small bubbling brook. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. At the center of the living area is a beautiful gas fireplace, creating a warm, cozy ambiance. After a day of hiking or skiing, you can relax on the couch by the fire. Step outside onto the covered deck, where bistro lights create an enchanting setting for enjoying your morning coffee or evening drink. Feel free to grill dinner on the gas grill and enjoy outdoor dining. The well-equipped kitchen features modern appliances and ample counter space, making meal preparation easy. You can dine at the large table that seats eight or relax at the island peninsula that accommodates four additional guests. The natural beauty of the log interior enhances your mountain experience. Ideal for a romantic retreat or a family getaway, this log home in the woods promises relaxation and memorable moments amidst nature's tranquility.

The home was just like the pictures. Hot tub was nice, the bathrooms were clean, and the home itself was kept up very well. The only issue was check-in. The lock on the door did not work the whole stay. The hosts solved this issue right before check-out though. Would stay here again.
Got the key after electronic lock did not work!
