Downstairs, another seating area with a TV offers an additional cozy space for gatherings, while an enclosed bedroom surrounded by windows provides a treehouse-like escape. The luxurious guest bathroom downstairs features a stunning tile shower, and a private deck adds the finishing touch to this mountain gem. The primary and downstairs guest rooms feature king-sized beds, complemented by queens in the additional guest rooms, and a full futon in the loft bedroom.
