The space
In addition to the fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances and a dining table that seats 8, there are 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The living area has a large, solidly made queen sofa bed for extra guests, as well as several other comfortable pieces so that you may enjoy the fireplace and TV. If you need to do laundry, the cabin is equipped with a washer and dryer for your use.
Heading outdoors, take in the mountain views while sitting in a rocker on the huge deck that runs the length of the house, grill your favorite steaks, or hangout by the firepit in the side yard. There are also 2 picnic tables in the yard so that the family can enjoy a nice outside meal together. Your pets will absolutely love the fenced in yard.
