Breathtaking long range layered mountain views create an unforgettable backdrop for this extraordinary luxury mountain retreat in the heart of Valle Crucis. The main part of the lodge was crafted with the timeless character of Logs America, offering exceptional quality, impressive scale, and warm yet refined mountain elegance. Impeccably decorated and beautifully maintained, this remarkable property has been featured in local magazines and offers a rare blend of luxury, comfort, and versatility. Designed to accommodate both quiet retreats and larger gatherings, the home features 6 spacious suites, each offering a private en suite bath with separate soaking tub and shower, along with its own propane fireplace for a true retreat like experience. High ceilings and expansive living spaces enhance the sense of openness throughout, while views from nearly every room bring the beauty of the mountains indoors. The main living area is both grand and inviting, with an extra large dining space and wet bar that also lends itself beautifully to a den or lounge setting. The commercial kitchen provides excellent function and flexibility and could easily be transformed into a stunning dream kitchen. Multiple rooms open onto several levels of deck space, creating exceptional indoor /outdoor living with plenty of room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining against a backdrop of layered mountain views.
