As you cross over to the other side of the living area, this side of the home is perfect for hosting guests. Obviously the rock fireplace is the centerpiece of the room. There is also room for small dining table...(pause)....a comfortable sofa to sit down and watch TV....(pause)...and a small countertop complete with cabinets, a sink, mini refrigerator, microwave and toaster. The two bedrooms provide privacy and comfort with queen beds and their own full bathroom. No mountain home would be complete without a large front porch!

Adjacent to the main residence is the detached three car garage complete with a 997 square foot finished living space above. The garage provides tons of room for vehicles as well as a workbench, tools and other outdoor gear. The room above the garage has endless opportunities to be living area with bedroom or entertainment room for family and friends.
