Whether you're hosting a family reunion, friend getaway, or work retreat, the layout gives everyone room to spread out while keeping the group connected. MAIN LEVEL — THE SOCIAL HUB The heart of the home lives on the second floor, where an open-concept layout brings everyone together. The full kitchen has everything you need to cook for a crowd—ample counter space, modern appliances, and seating for casual meals. The living room flows naturally into the game room, stocked with board games, cards, and entertainment for evenings in. Step onto the expansive deck for BBQ grilling with forest views stretching in every direction. GROUND LEVEL — REST & RECHARGE The first-floor bedrooms offer a quieter retreat, each with direct access to the wraparound deck. Wake up, open your door, and step straight into the morning mountain air. This level is perfect for guests who want easy outdoor access or a bit of separation from the main gathering space. The hot tub sits just steps away—ideal for soaking under the redwoods after a day of hiking. UPPER LOFT — FLEX SPACE The third-floor loft serves double duty as an office and bonus sleeping area. Desks and workspace make it ideal for remote work or quiet reading, while additional beds accommodate overflow guests. Families will appreciate the toys and games tucked up here—a built-in kids' zone that keeps little ones entertained. OUTDOOR LIVING The deck isn't just a feature—it's an extension of the home. Multiple levels wrap around the house, offering sunny spots for morning coffee, shaded corners for afternoon reading, and front-row seats to the surrounding forest. The fire pit area is perfect for evening gatherings, s'mores, and stargazing away from city lights.
