This house is an artistic getaway. It is warm and inspiring inside with modern, but soulful furnishings, art from local artists, and a large wall of windows leading out to a large deck for time outside. An inspiring mountain retreat. The space It's not technically a tree house, but it's a trees house in the way it is perched in the trees. The living room's wall of windows looks out expansively onto views of trees and mountains. The open floor plan and high vaulted wooden ceiling of the living room, dining area and kitchen create a further feeling of expansiveness as the space flows right out to the large, high deck that sits amongst and above the surrounding trees. People end up feeling connected to the mountains as they cook and spend time both inside and out. Everything in the house has been updated with design, furnishings and art that have warmth and character. The hickory wood floors were selected from sustainable Amish forests. The imported wood and steel stairs give modernity and warmth to the living room. I've hung art by local and other artists in each room. The living room's vaulted ceiling and wall of windows create a place where you will feel happy spending time. The bedrooms are cozy, quiet and artful, the the bathrooms are luxurious. The kitchen is a particularly satisfying place to cook and to spend time. It is modern with new stainless steel appliances and fully equipped with quality stainless steel cookware, lovely dishware and all needed cooking utensils, etc. Because the open floor plan opens the kitchen out to the dining area and living room, as you cook you can talk with your friends as they sit at the kitchen bar and look out the views of the mountains and the fireplace. Downhill or cross country ski at Hunter, Windham or Belleayre. Ride horses through the mountains at a stable minutes away. Swim, wade, or tube in one of the nearby creeks. Eat at one of the adorable nearby restaurants. Take a long bath in the jacuzzi tub in the spa-like over-sized bathroom. Relax in front of a fire while looking out of the living room's glass wall at the surrounding mountains. Have dinner and breakfast while looking out at the mountains from the large deck. Spend an afternoon at the nearby spa getting massages and other treatments. These are some of the things people do when they stay here. This is also a green house. In renovating and running this house I have used as many environmentally sustainable products as possible. All cleaning and other products used are environmentally sustainable products. Other things to note The house is a duplex. The upper half is the rental half, which is part of what makes this feel so much a tree house, as it is on a level with the trees. The lower half is occupied by Bobby, who takes care of the property. He is away most of the time and is incredibly quiet when he is there - you will be surprised at how alone you feel at the house - you probably won't end up seeing him or knowing he is there, even if he is. The two levels sections of the building are completely separate and the deck is only used by renters, as is the rest of the property in effect, as Bobby doesn't use the property. It may be difficult to imagine feeling alone there, but truly, you will. And if you do have any issues while you can always call me, he won't be too far away for me to contact him and have him come help if something is needed.
