Backyard/Property:
Your own slice of the mountains awaits right outside the door! The property backs up directly to the national forest, making it incredibly easy to step outside and hit the trails. The yard is beautifully mountain-scaped, and we maintain it regularly by clearing pine needles and removing weeds twice a year. As a natural mountain setting, you can expect to find the charm that comes with it: pine needles, leaves, twigs, and tree sap are all part of the authentic outdoor experience. Come ready to enjoy nature at its finest! The yard is also home to your very own frisbee golf course and a basketball/pickleball court, perfect for keeping the whole group entertained.
Deck/Patio:
The wraparound deck is your outdoor living room, spanning half the home and packed with everything you need to relax and entertain. Fire up the propane grill for a mountain BBQ, gather around the dining table for four, and unwind in the spa after a day of adventure. We keep a fresh propane tank stocked and replace it weekly. On the rare occasion it runs low mid-stay, a quick tank swap is available at nearby CVS, Walgreens, or Vons. Just send us the receipt and we'll reimburse you right away. Prefer not to deal with it No problem, we're happy to bring one out! Brand-new hot sauna and grilling station to make this space even more spectacular.
Hot tub: Soak your cares away in the private 4-person spa, nestled on the back deck and surrounded by gorgeous mature trees, truly a peaceful retreat! The spa is freshened up and maintained after every guest stay so it's always ready for you. For longer visits, we schedule a mid-stay service to keep everything in top shape. A heads-up: as a rental spa, chemical levels are kept a touch higher than a private home spa to ensure cleanliness for all guests. Spa hours are 7am–10pm in keeping with city guidelines for rentals. We provide 13 spa towels for your soaking pleasure. Please reserve these for spa use rather than lake adventures Outdoor wood fires are not permitted due to high-risk fires.
