After a long day of hiking or hitting the slopes, head into the screened-in porch to soak your cares away in the hot tub without worrying about the elements. What's New? Brand new roof installed in 2025 as well as a new hot water heater. New screens installed on the screened in porch and new stain on all the decks.
