Mornings begin slowly - coffee in hand at the dining table or out on the covered deck, cool mountain air drifting in as the forest comes alive. After a day exploring nearby beaches, trails, shops, or the slopes at Heavenly, you return to the steady warmth of the stone fireplace and the calm rhythm of home. <br /> <br />Living spaces <br />The great room opens beneath high ceilings, with expansive windows framing the surrounding trees. A stone fireplace anchors the space, creating a natural gathering point for conversation, movie nights on the TV with standard cable, or quiet evenings with a book. Heating and air conditioning keep the home comfortable through changing mountain weather, while ceiling fans and portable fans offer added flexibility. A dedicated workspace with Wifi and an Ethernet connection makes it easy to settle in when work calls. <br /> <br />Kitchen and dining <br />The kitchen offers a full space where guests can cook their own meals, complete with modern appliances and generous counter space. Whether you are preparing breakfast before heading out or sharing a relaxed dinner together, the adjacent dining table keeps everyone connected. A coffee maker and hot water kettle make early mornings easy, while the dishwasher simplifies cleanup at the end of the day. <br /> <br />Sleeping arrangements <br />The home sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms. On the 1st floor, the primary bedroom features a king bed. A second 1st floor bedroom includes a twin over full bunk. On the 3rd floor, a queen bed awaits in a private retreat above.

The backyard offers open space to unwind, and the hot tub provides a soothing way to relax after a full day outdoors. Outdoor furniture and a BBQ grill create space to gather in the fresh mountain air as the season shifts into warmer days. <br /> <br />Neighborhood <br />Set within a gated community in Zephyr Cove, the home is close to Lakeside Beach, the Heavenly Gondola, casinos, restaurants, and shops.
