About this home

FULLY FURNISHED + TURNKEY with fresh paint, a brand-new 8-person Bluetooth spa, and new arcade flooring. This luxury mountain retreat is both a showpiece and a high-performing short-term rental. Meticulously crafted by one of the region’s premier woodworkers—who once called it home—every room features curated wood finishes and thoughtful design. Oversized bedrooms with nearly new mattresses, five fireplaces, and custom finishes throughout offer comfort and warmth in every corner. Upstairs includes two en-suite bedrooms, a guest room, and a flexible loft sleeping area. The lower level is built for fun with a bunkroom, theater, wet bar, video and arcade space, a patio room with mini-golf, and more. Outside, enjoy an outdoor kitchen, handcrafted firepit, secluded pond, and a stunning 45’ waterfall—all surrounded by rare Japanese Maples and long-range views. A dedicated 1/3-acre play area and picnic zone round out the outdoor setup. Whether you're adding to your portfolio or searching for a fully outfitted mountain getaway, this turnkey rental delivers luxury, scale, and serious income potential—and with bonus depreciation back in play, now is the perfect time to pick up another high-performing asset.
