A Place Apart is a two-level home with sleeping for nine guests. The entryway opens to a den with tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings. It has a multi-cade arcade game that kids will be sure to enjoy. The den also provides an additional sleeping space with the queen sleeper sofa. Through the den, guests will find the living room with comfortable reclining furniture and a stone fireplace with gas logs where guests can relax after skiing. The picture windows let in natural light and showcase the long-range mountain views from the partially covered back deck. The gas grill and outdoor seating make the deck a comfortable place to take in the fresh mountain air. The open-plan kitchen has clear sight lines through to the dining area and living room, making it an ideal setup for entertaining. After exploring the high country, guests can relax in the hot tub. The fenced-in yard has additional outdoor seating and a fire pit, perfect for making S'mores on a warm summer night. Enjoy a little friendly competition by playing a game of ping-pong or darts in the game area in the garage.
