Lost River Lookout is the perfect home to enjoy a getaway. Escape the everyday hustle in this 3-bed, 2-bath home nestled on 10 acres atop a mountain, offering breathtaking views. Watch the sunrise with your morning coffee and savor the sunset with a glass of wine. An outdoor firepit provides a cozy ambiance to enjoy the views, roast some Smores, and enjoy some time around the fire. Inside, a gourmet kitchen and wood burning fireplace create the perfect setting for quality time with loved ones. The space The home is located in a magical and secluded area of Lost River Valley on 10 acres atop a mountain. The primary bedroom has a king size bed, a walk in closet, and a newly renovated ensuite bathroom with soaking tub. The bedroom has a Roku-enabled TV so you can log in to all of your streaming accounts. Two large windows feature breathtaking views of the valley. There are blackout shades if you like to sleep in, but we recommend leaving them open at least once to wake up with the sunrise. The second bedroom has a queen size bed with unbeatable views. Pictures from a local artist adorn the walls. The third bedroom has bunk beds - a twin on top and a full on the bottom. These two bedrooms share a bathroom and a pocket door is able to close off these bedrooms from the rest of the house. The living room has a comfortable couch and a reclining chair. The couch is perfect to snuggle up on in front of the wood burning fireplace (owner provided wood). The flat screen television is Roku-enabled so you can log in to all your favorite streaming services (Netflix, AmazonPrime, HBOMax, etc.) The outdoor deck has panoramic views of the valley where you'll be able to watch breathtaking sunrises and be reminded why you're visiting. A comfortable seating area awaits, where you can relax with a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a good book. We have a propane Weber gas grill when you want to take the cooking from the kitchen to the deck. The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, an induction cooktop, a wine fridge, and a double oven. With these great appliances, you'll be able to take some of the essentials we've provided and the groceries you bring to make an unforgettable meal. Guest access You will have access to the entire house (other than the basement) and property. The community is great and we often walk up and down the gravel road that leads to the house. Wildlife is abundant and deer are often around each bend in the road. We ask that you not go on any of the neighbors’ property. * When it is snowing or icy you will need a 4WD vehicle or chains to navigate the last two miles of the drive. Please take this into consideration when booking in the winter months. Other things to note * We have outfitted the kitchen with all the appliances you'll need to make a great meal. We have also provided some spices, oils, coffee, and tea. Also available for your use is a drip coffee maker, an electric hot water kettle, a toaster oven, and a microwave oven. * Cell phone service on the roads leading up the house is spotty at best. Once you're at the house it is better, but can still be spotty. The house has fast WiFi so you'll be able to connect to the outside world (if you even want to!) and stream all your audio and video content. * Pets are permitted on a case-by-case basis, and there will be a $100 pet fee per stay to cover deep cleaning. Please contact us in advance for pre-approval so that we can manage the cleaning schedule and avoid potential allergy issues for future quests, etc. * Firewood: We provide plenty of firewood on the premises, however, you may want to bring your own starter. * There is no hunting permitted while you're visiting Lost River Lookout. No guns permitted on the property. * When it is snowing or icy you will need a 4WD vehicle or chains to navigate the last two miles of the drive. Please take this into consideration when booking in the winter months. * There is a camera over the driveway. It's primarily used to see what the weather conditions at the top of the mountain are during the winter. We also have a ring doorbell. * Important Policies Prior to Booking: Inclement Weather - With our mountainous location, winter weather can be beautiful, but it can also create hazardous driving conditions.
