The Space:
The outdoors are calling at Lakefront Serenity! There is a deep water shoreline and boat dock for all of the summer toys. Just steps from the fully landscaped backyard you will have access to the dock and lake. The open-concept main level draws you immediately to the large viewing windows and expansive outdoor deck with unobstructed lake and mountain views. Wood ceilings and large beams add warmth throughout, while the fully equipped kitchen — featuring two ovens, a bread warmer, and generous island seating — makes group meals effortless. Three of the four bedrooms are master suites with king beds, en-suite bathrooms, fantastic lake views, and radiant heating. The fourth bedroom is a bunk room with two full-over-full-sized beds, big enough to sleep up to 8. Three fireplaces keep the home cozy through the winter months.
Downstairs, the game room delivers with an 8-foot pool table, wet bar, and a large TV and movie viewing area. The hot tub, just off the downstairs master suite, is the perfect place to wind down at the end of the day. A mudroom, laundry room, and second refrigerator add convenience for longer stays. Minutes from the Village, shopping, and slopes.
While air conditioning is absent, nature compensates with its own cooling system - the fresh mountain air.

Wonderful

House was a good size. Right on the water. TV’s are dated. House was dirty cobwebs and dead bugs. The staff was super friendly. The location was great. Hopefully they hire a better cleaning staff.
Home was beautiful, but there were some problems. Bottom oven door did not stay closed, hot tub never worked, sink in bathroom with bunk beds drained very slow & upstairs balcony railing is loose. There was only one refrigerator not two, the bunk beds slept 6 not 8. There was not enough chairs to be able to sit & eat. We were a party of 11 & there was not enough seating for meals. It just needs some TLC. Beautiful property & great view.

Bottom oven- does not work unless held shut
Beautiful home but a stressful stay due to our circumstances.
My family of 14 came for my sister‘s wedding. The home was beautiful it had everything, but it was a very stressful stay because as you know when you are in a wedding, you like to have hair make up &a photographer come as well. we were told that we could not have more than 14 people at a time at any time, so trying to accommodate that was so stressful! I was freaking out pretty much the whole time because I didn’t want to go over the 14 person or have too many cars there as well, we couldn’t even have company if we went over the 14th person we had 14 exactly that stayed, there not being able to have company really put a damper on everything because we were going to finish making the desserts and the favors for the wedding with all the bridesmaids, but they couldn’t even come and help so that was just another stressful thing for me.i’m sorry to say that I did not enjoy my stay just because of those reasons, but the home is beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice.there is a few things that were not working In the master bedroom the bathtub jets did not come on and the closet was locked too so we had to have our stuff out in the open. Couldn’t even hang our wedding clothes. In The kitchen, the oven didn’t work Also, the carpet throughout the house had stains and in the bottom room with the bunkbeds in that bathroom the floor,wouldn’t heat up and also sliding door didnot lock the house needs to update their appliances There is no air fryer and has an old coffee machine.
