the owners have opted for 2 separate living rooms to maximize inside seating comfort for families and larger groups, leaving dining to be done al fresco on the deck outside Dining outside can accommodate up to 12 with 2 tables + provided space heaters for colder nights). Fire up the grill outside and enjoy eating on the deck overlooking the lake - perhaps you'll even see the Bald eagles that roost just down by the lake flying about. On the main level, you will find a hard-working kitchen with 3 counter-seats, stocked with a Keurig & Breville espresso machine, French-presses (for tea and coffee), Calphalon and Lodge cookware, along with a wood-burning fireplace and cozy living room (+ TV).
downstairs, there's another living room where you can open the french doors (with phantom screens to keep the critters out) and enjoy the colorado air while watching movies on the larger tv/dvd player
2 tv's + dvd player, board games, vintage fly-fishing library and a 10-year collection of national geographics can entertain you on days spent inside, but even better, head outside to the lake for fly fishing or hiking
100-year old log-beam walls throughout are offset with new furniture from restoration hardware, article and west elm, along with carefully collected vintage pieces to add to the old-school charm Beds have new Cocoon or Saatva mattresses and luxury down pillows and duvets.
