Rural Bungalow with Mountain Views

Also known as Dominion Mountain Retreat, this 565 sq. foot bungalow can sleep up to 5, but is spacious and lovely for a couple. Very comfortable queen bed upstairs, with spiral stairs leading to a rooftop deck. Full kitchen, dedicated workspace, tiled bath with shower, hot tub and fire pit available for comfort outside. Hummingbird paradise in summer, especially June and July! Level 1 and 2 EV chargers available by prior arrangement. Please note: Winter Access requires 4WD or AWD vehicle! The space The bungalow is separate from the main house, and has a rustic feel, but is very comfortable. The queen bed upstairs and both twins downstairs have wonderful memory-foam mattresses. The 6' curtained window seat is a favorite of the under 18 set. There is a full kitchen with an under counter fridge, gas range, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster and all the dishes and pots and pans you need. We now have a dedicated workspace with a comfortable work chair, adjustable lighting, office tools and Starlink Internet. Our air-source heat pump provides heat and air conditioning, and solar panels on the roof of the main home as well as in a separate array help make this a green property. We recycle everything as well. In 2022 we added a Level 2 EV charger, available at a small cost by prior arrangement. Complimentary Level 1 EV charger also available. Guests have full access to 20 acres, including an enclosed garden with lots of sitting areas, a great fire pit for campfires, a hot tub on the main house deck, a weber gas grill on the main house deck, and pasture leading up to the neighbor's horses. Guest access Guests have the entire bungalow which is separate from the main house. Access is via a fairly steep gravel driveway off of a primitive gravel road. In the winter 4WD or AWD is required to get to the house if there is fresh snow. Guests with mobility issues should note that the path from the parking area to the bungalow, while level, is on flagstones which are irregular in spots. Also, as noted elsewhere, the queen bed is on the upper level, up 10 steps with a metal railing on each side. Two twin beds can be set up on the lower level if needed. There is a washer and dryer in the main house that can be made available by arrangement at no extra charge. We are rural and hence our communications are rather primitive compared with many more populated areas. That being said, we have upgraded to Starlink! This gives us fast internet with no data caps and improved wi-fi calling capability. (Fast internet is also available at several places 6.5 miles away in Colville, including the Public Library.) Our cell service is spotty, but with Starlink, wi-fi calling has become an excellent option and I do maintain a land line that can always be used for emergencies. We have DISH network, and there is also a DVD player. I have hundreds of DVDs which are available to borrow if you like! Other things to note Colville is a small town and my place is 6.5 miles northeast of it. The drive to Colville takes only 10 minutes, but the feel of the place is decidedly rural. There is plenty of wildlife to observe - deer, wild turkey, quail, raptors, and sometimes elk. Migratory hummingbirds (Rufous, Black-chinned and Caliope) visit in droves from mid-April through August. We often hear coyotes at night. I have two cats, Wild and Bandit, who both love to be petted (not allowed in the bungalow.) We are in a fire-prone area because our climate is dry in the summer, so it is necessary to be very careful with fire. Sometimes campfires are not permitted.
