This thoughtfully-built and designed home features three floors, each with at least one bedroom, a bathroom and common area. Freshly built in 2023, it has the perfect layout for up to three families. The house is ideal for families visiting their kids at App State, a several-family getaway or even an incredibly romantic getaway. Get steamy in the cedar barrel sauna and soak in the hot tub, all while taking in the view at our amenity-rich home.

FIRST FLOOR:
As you walk in, you’ll enter the open floor plan kitchen/dining/deck-access areas. The master bedroom has a king bed and is on the first floor with an ensuite bathroom.

SECOND FLOOR:
On the second floor, you’ll find another full bathroom and a peaceful bedroom with a king bed overlooking the forest through a gorgeous picture window. This floor feels like you’re in a treehouse with a loft area for reading or yoga and a dedicated workspace. The views from this floor are just as spectacular as the main level.

BASEMENT:
The basement contains two bedrooms - one has two sets of twin bunk beds and the second bedroom has a queen bed. A Pack N’ Play is located in the queen room’s closet as well as a cozy crib mattress. Please bring your own crib sheet. The common area features a large-screen smart TV and a large, comfy couch for movie watching. The sliding glass door will take you to the sauna and hot tub. Washer and dryer are also on this floor.

”We loved that there’s plenty of room and activities for the kids to hang out on the bottom level while the adults are upstairs. They had their own space, but we were close enough to hear them.”

”The most peaceful and well-laid out VRBO my family has ever stayed at.“

Absolutely gem!

We loved our stay at Sara’s place! There were 7 adults and 2 babies, and we all comfortably stayed at the house. The house is beautifully designed, exceptionally clean, and has everything you could need. The incredible view, hot tub and sauna are the icing on the cake! Communication was great. We’d highly recommend staying here.
