REJUVENATION 🍃 The walkout patio is coated in beautiful slip-resistant carbon flake while bistro lights cast an amber glow over the hot tub and sauna. The hot tub is a 2024 Jacuzzi J-365 that seats 5-6 people. The sauna is a 2024 SalusHEAT dry infrared sauna made for 1-2 people. The sauna has multiple interior lighting color choices and a built-in bluetooth speaker for your favorite jams! The Jacuzzi is loaded with jets, a little waterfall, and gorgeous multi-colored lights. A large set of stairs with handle and assisted lift cover make safe hot tub use a breeze. The hot tub experience in this wooded backdrop is incredible at any time of day. Birds chirping in the morning, gorgeous sunsets, but it is absolutely divine under the soft glow of the bistro lights at night. The only thing more comforting than being massaged by the powerful hot tub jets is wrapping up in an oversized baby soft towel and snuggling in to the hammock swing before deciding what fun you’ll have next. 📺 TVs Enjoy Hulu Live on all 6 TVs throughout the cabin! Feel free to log into any of your other streaming apps. 🎶 Music 🎶 Amazon Echo speakers are spread throughout the cabin interior for your enjoyment. Echo Dots in the sleeping areas double as alarm clocks and have digital time displays that can be turned on or off through voice command. Want to do more than just listen to music? Light up that electronic piano keyboard or the electric guitar in the game room! Don’t worry, parents - they come with plug in headphones! 🎸 🎹 OUTDOOR FUN 🍁 Just steps from the "therapatio" are large back and side yards. We have a set of regulation bags & boxes with distance rope for you to enjoy! Catching a warm afternoon breeze on the tree swing out front is a whole experience. The tree is massive and absolutely lovely. PORCHES/BALCONIES ☕️ Outdoor gathering spaces overlook wooded acreage and a seemingly endless field with beautiful sunsets. Guests enjoy comfortable couches, chairs, and loveseats while listening to morning birdsongs over coffee or savoring a glass of wine after a wonderful day.

Other things to note The style of this cabin is called Scandinavian Scribe. Its character and authenticity are unrivaled. The logs you see on the outside are the same logs you see on the inside! These logs came from trees in Montana and have been shaped just right to notch and seal tightly, resulting in extremely high natural insulation. The expert craftsmanship and engineering that went into this design is jaw dropping. It brings us tremendous joy to be able to share its beauty with people all over the world!
