This one-of-a-kind mountain home is more than a place to stay; it's an experience. As you pull up the paved driveway and unload, you'll immediately see the welcoming entrance to the home. There's a cobblestone patio waiting for you with a stone woodburning fireplace and Adirondack chairs around the outside, along with more seating. Enter the home with just two steps up from the parking area. From the two-story entry, you'll be able to see the kitchen and the dining areas along with the spacious living room. To your right are two dining tables. One seats 6-8 people and has a gas burning fireplace behind it, and the other seats 8 people and has a Juliet balcony behind it with an iron wrought two-seat table & chairs.
