Living Spaces:
Step into our dramatic great room – the heart of the home – where panoramic mountain views and cozy vibes await. A vaulted ceiling, full wall stone fireplace, and full-length glass doors offer both grandeur and boundless views of nature. Gather round the fireplace with the group to enjoy one of the many provided games or perhaps stream your favorite show on the big-screen TV!
Later, you may retreat to the games room, where friendly competition is the name of the game. Here, test your skill with a foosball table, ping pong, darts, classic arcade game and more. Loser makes dinner!
Kitchen/Dining Spaces:
Hungry? Our gorgeous gourmet kitchen is a foodie's paradise, complete with unique brick backsplash, stainless steel swag, oversized breakfast bar with industrial-esque pendant lights and plenty of counter space for your culinary creations. Fuel up for adventures at the large dining table or grab a quick bite at the breakfast bar before hitting the trails, the shops, or whatever else your heart desires.
Bedrooms/Baths:
Retreat to one of our five roomy bedrooms for a snooze fest like no other. The primary suite is fit for royalty with its king-size bed, mountain views, and private deck access. The en-suite bath offers a spa experience with double sinks and an oversized walk-in shower and tub, all in natural textiles. The second bedroom features a queen bed, with full bath just outside the room. The third and fourth bedrooms are on the 3rd floor, one with a queen and one with a king, sharing a full bath. On the ground level is a kid’s sleepover paradise, with 3 sets of built-in bunk beds, accommodating up to 6 kids (or kids at heart) for a vacation they’ll talk about for years! This level also offers a full bath.
Outdoor Amenities:
As beautiful and welcoming as the interior of the home is, the exterior is arguably, a vacationer’s paradise. From the epic deck with storybook layered mountain views, to the ultimately relaxing hot tub in the private rear yard, every member of your group will have something to love. The backyard firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs welcomes your ghost stories and tall tales, while marshmallows roast. The more active folks have cornhole and more to keep them busy.
And don’t forget the neighborhood amenities! Just steps from your door, you’ll find a shared pool, tennis court, and basketball court. For even more outdoor fun, take advantage of nearby sledding, cross country skiing, hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, golfing, fly fishing, and horseback riding. And downhill skiing is just 30 minutes away!
There’s no shortage of things to do at Goat Mountain Lodge. But we could never blame you for simply wanting to sit on the deck and gaze at that view, perhaps with a glass of wine, a charcuterie board, and your loved ones nearby.
