Timber Ridge - Memories are made here!

Timber Ridge, part of the Ridge Vacation Properties group, is an upscale log cabin, newly remodeled and professionally decorated to give you every modern convenience in a luxurious but cozy atmosphere. Brand new plush mattresses, down duvets, quilts, crisp cotton sheets, Turkish cotton towels, and a variety of bed pillow options, along with a mix of antique and new furnishings, guarantee that you'll be a little spoiled by the time you leave! The renovation also included the addition of many smart-home conveniences, easily controlled by voice using the Amazon Alexa devices located throughout the cabin and on the deck. Play music, ask a question, control the lights and TVs --even adjust the temperature just by speaking. This 2,000 square foot cabin is nestled in the woods at an elevation of 9,200 feet and features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Timber Ridge is part of the Ridge Vacation Properties group.

MAIN LEVEL –
The gourmet KITCHEN features all new stainless steel appliances, leathered granite countertops, designer cabinets, ambient lighting, and a handy breakfast bar with seating for 4. You'll find everything you might need in this well-appointed kitchen including an Instant Pot slow cooker/pressure cooker, Cuisinart toaster, Cuisinart dual coffee maker (which accepts single-serve Keurig-style coffee pods as well as ground coffee for making a full carafe), a blender, a full set of T-fal stainless steel pots and non-stick pans, a variety of bakeware, and all kinds of cooking gadgets and necessities, as well as basic pantry items, paper goods, and linens.

Over in the EATING AREA, the antique round dining table is perfect for leisurely meals overlooking the side deck and woods but can also accommodate family games or puzzle sessions with eclectic seating for six. A gas grill is located just outside the sliding glass door so your home chef can easily get some BBQ going!

Wrap yourself in a cozy throw and settle into the soft leather sofa in the LIVING ROOM to watch a fire blaze in the stone fireplace or catch up with your favorite show on the 50-inch Smart HD TV, which is also visible from the kitchen. Step out the back door onto the wrap-around deck to watch the wildlife, enjoy a cup of coffee in one of the comfy rocking chairs, or stare off at the wooded mountain views and let your mind wander. Curl up with a book, take a nap, or unwind with your loved ones while the rest of the world stays busy without you!

In the upstairs BATHROOM, you'll be WOW-ed by the custom tiled walk-in shower and thick Turkish cotton towels. And while there's plenty of room to store your own toiletries on the hand-crafted shelves or granite-topped vanity, soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, all necessary paper goods, and a first aid kit are provided for your convenience.

BEDROOM 1 features two vintage twin beds, an antique curved front dresser, and a handy desk with an antique chair where you can write a note or pretend to get some work done.

BEDROOM 2 offers a queen poster bed and overlooks the back deck into the treetops. It also features a beautiful plaid chair to relax in.

LOWER LEVEL –
On the lower level, you'll have access to the ground level deck where there's room to sit in the rockers and plan a badminton or lawn darts competition. Step off the deck and let your stress melt away in the calming hot tub, or follow the path on the landscaped hillside to the custom fire pit where everyone can gather 'round the campfire to rehash the day's events. The large FAMILY ROOM is perfect for watching movies on the 65-inch Smart HD TV, or you can organize a fun foosball tournament! Extra guests will be more than comfortable on the queen sofa sleeper with memory foam mattress.

In the spacious downstairs BATHROOM, you'll discover a deep full-size bathtub and shower with custom tiled surround, a granite-topped vanity, and plenty of storage. Again, essential toiletries, a first aid kit, and plenty of linens are provided.

BEDROOM 3 features a stunning four-poster king-size bed and plenty of room to spread out, and if the down duvet and crisp cotton sheets don't make you decide to stay in bed all day, they'll definitely woo you back for a lazy afternoon nap! After that, you can sit in the comfy Flexsteel chair to plan tomorrow's adventures.

Finally, the lower level boasts a cute LAUNDRY ROOM with a full-size stacked washer and dryer and plenty of space to sort and fold your family's laundry on the built-in countertop. There's even room left over to store your luggage until it's time to pack up and head home. But will you ever want to leave? That's the predicament you'll face when staying at Timber Ridge!
