**Please note: We DO have central heating. As in most homes in this area, Air Conditioning is not provided and rarely needed. If necessary, the windows do open and there are oscillating fans in closets and ceiling fans in two bedrooms.
**We do not have direct mountain views. Hattie’s hideout has lots of trees all around. The color-changing leaves are lovely in the Fall.
**We have a pest control service, but here in the mountains near the trees, bugs and little creatures will still find their way inside between cleanings and exterminating. This is all part of living near the woods. Perhaps you will agree that the beauty is worth a little sacrifice.
**There are two flights of stairs and no elevator. The driveway splits and leads to the middle/main level and the bottom level of the house. The people staying on the main level won't ever have to use the stairs if they'd rather not.
**The lower driveway is semi-steep; 4-wheel-drive vehicles are recommended in the winter.
OUTDOOR SPACE: Step outside onto the spacious deck and immerse yourself in nature. Enjoy your morning coffee while spotting the deer or gather around the fire table in the evening for a cozy conversation over a glass of wine.
THE BOTTOM FLOOR features a queen bed with a small kitchenette and full bathroom. Down the hall is the bunkroom with 2 twin-over-twin bunks. The game room is located right off the bunk room and includes a movie area with sleeper sofa, arcade games, and Giant Jenga as well as board games, cards, and a toddler table.
THE MAIN/MIDDLE FLOOR showcases the living room and kitchen space with two decks, one to the propane grill and one to the fire table. The living room contains a smart TV and extra hidden seating in the ottoman. A large dining room table and bar seating allows for family and friends to gather ‘round near the fully stocked kitchen. A traditional drip coffee maker, a French press, and a Keurig single cup coffee maker are provided. The open floor plan enables groups to be together for cooking, dining, and relaxing. This level also includes a King master bedroom with walk-through full bathroom. This bedroom closet contains a booster highchair, a Pack 'n play bed, an audio baby monitor, and nightlights...perfect for a family with little ones. Toddlers and infants are more than welcome to stay, but please be aware that this house is not child-proofed inside or out; young children will need to be watched at all times.
THE TOP FLOOR offers two queen bedrooms. One has an en suite bathroom and a desk workspace by a window. The other has a half bathroom. The washer/dryer area is found in the hallway.
With its peaceful surroundings and ample amenities and space, this home is the perfect retreat to accommodate large extended families or multiple families with kids. We look forward to hosting you and remember: Don't feed the bears (and lock your car).
