About this property

A-Frame Retreat I 34 Acres I Lake/Camping/Hot Tub

Escape to our unique A-frame chalet, nestled on a sprawling 34-acre land in the serene Endless Mountains Region. This spacious haven is adorned with a cozy, all-wood finish, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It has a stunning 2-acre spring-fed lake, teeming with fish- perfect for peaceful afternoons. Large windows on the main floor offer breathtaking views, enhancing the tranquil ambiance. Indulge in the sauna or unwind in the hot tub. Promise a comfortable and memorable summer getaway. READ CAREFULLY!

This property is all about rustic living, embracing nature, and enjoying the charm of the great outdoors. If you’re looking for a perfectly curated, hotel-like experience with pristine, sterile, ultra-modern, and flawlessly polished accommodations, this may not be the right fit for you. Here, you’ll find natural beauty, cozy imperfections, and a setting designed for relaxation and adventure—not a showroom. If you love skiing during winter or fresh air, starry nights, and a little bit of wilderness in summer, welcome to your perfect getaway!

All events and outside guests must be pre-approved. Any additional guest beyond 15 persons will incur charges of $75/person/stay.

If you would like to host an event on the property, we will require a 3-night minimum stay, so that you will have an appropriate amount of time to clean up after the event. Also required is an additional fee and security deposit. Specific amounts will be discussed. Please let us know the details of your intended event prior to booking. Thank you!

TOILET:
Also please ensure not to drain anything down the toilet except for what naturally comes out of the body. Our recent guest clogged the lines and it was a pain in the back. Thanks for understanding.

DIRECTION:
Also, the driveway is sort of hidden and located right in front of the 8411 mailbox. The Google Maps shows the driveway further from where it is located. In case you miss it please make a U turn and look out for the first driveway on your right.

NOTE ON WILDLIFE:
Our property is thoroughly cleaned and maintained to ensure a comfortable and pest-free stay. While we do not have any sort of infestation, the house is surrounded by nature, which means occasional wildlife sightings are possible.

To minimize the likelihood of any wildlife entering indoors, we kindly ask guests to ensure all doors remain closed, even if stepping out briefly. Thank you for helping us maintain a peaceful and enjoyable environment for everyone!

NOTE ON CLEANLINESS:

Please note that while we strive to maintain the highest cleaning standards, minor cleaning issues (such as a missed spot of dust or a stray cobweb etc.) may occasionally occur. We kindly ask guests to focus on the overall experience rather than trivial concerns, we will not entertain any trivial cleaning issues and certainly not reimbursing any monetary amount, so save yourself the embarrassment of even bring that to our attention. However, if you encounter a genuine cleanliness issue that significantly impacts your stay, please let us know right away so we can address it promptly.

Any issues with cleanliness should be reported the day of check-in. Unfortunately, our cleaning company does not accept any claims post checkin day as it becomes impossible to verify if the issue existed prior to checkin or caused after checkin.

Classic A-frame

Classic A frame being revitalized. Large ground floor for the bedrooms and fun loft for the kids. Hot tub was low on water and dirty with film. Sauna was not available but possibly a new addition coming online soon. Great location

Close to Elk Mountain

House is very private and set back from the road. It has a unique design. Teens loved the loft. It’s definitely a work in progress but it’s adequate for a small group who just wants to ski and have a place nearby to sleep and eat.

Save your money and go elsewhere

Do not stay here. The place was very dirty, cobwebs everywhere dust, garbage ect. They advertised a working hot tub that did not work, and had debris and a foul odor. It appears they were in the process of building a sauna, so construction material and tools left everywhere. They didn’t even have the decency to mow the tall grass before we arrived. The one full bed collapsed from the weight of a bag being put on the end of the bed making the bed unusable. The one toilet leaked water all over, so that was not useable. Panels peeling off the walls, wires exposed, probably more than half of the outlets and light switches do not work. The entrance of the house that you enter is essentially a storm door and the actual door does not latch, so there’s not very much sense of security. I contacted the host upon arrival about the hot tub and got no response.We only stayed one night after a wedding, so we got in late and had all these issues arise before bed, so I messaged the host after checkout with the list of issues, also requesting a partial refund, and again no response. This is a very expensive rental and it’s so not worth it. Go elsewhere, and save yourself the headache and money. I promise you it’s not worth even a quarter of what you’re going to pay to stay here.
