French doors open to a sprawling screened porch with yet another wood-burning fireplace, creating the ultimate four-season experience. The main level features two primary suites, each with private screened porches and en suite baths-perfect for couples or multiple families. The gourmet kitchen, complete with granite countertops, double ovens, gas cooktop, and laundry, is designed to handle group stays with ease. Upstairs, the loft with a private bath adds even more flexible sleeping space.The terrace level is an entertainment hub that keeps guests coming back year after year. It boasts a massive bonus room with Foosball, Pac-Man arcade, wet bar with fridge, and an 85" TV. From there, step out onto another screened porch with a hot tub and bed swing-two must-have features for STR success. A dedicated pool table room with bath and closet doubles as an extra bedroom, while the opposite wing offers two additional bedrooms joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath. Other income-boosting features include a dog-wash room with exterior access (pet-friendly rentals command premium rates) and two extra rooms that can serve as bedrooms or flex spaces, maximizing guest capacity. This property is offered fully furnished (with minimal exclusions), making it 100% turnkey. Between its proven rental history, expansive amenities, and strong future bookings, this lodge is not only a spectacular mountain escape but also a rare high-performing short-term rental investment. The owner and friends can use the cabin at their leisure whenever they want! It's the best of both worlds.
