You'll be grinning ear-to-ear when you arrive at this incredible mountain chalet. Hand-built by a local artist and mountaineer, this three-bedroom retreat captures the spirit of Wy'east with custom art, furnishings, and metalwork accents, creating a beautiful Timberline Lodge-like aesthetic. The home also boasts prime convenience, with cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails accessible right out the front door and a short, two-block walk to shopping, bars, and dining in Government Camp.
A true gem of local craftsmanship, the home comes fully furnished from top to bottom with rustic-inspired comfort and all the modern amenities equipped for family comfort. The kitchen features cool cement counters and a full suite of appliances for handling home cooking with ease. The open living area sets the stage for group gatherings with sofas and an eight-seater dining table anchored by an impressive wood-burning fireplace. A cozy upstairs nook features a living area with a TV and assortment of books, plus a semi-private office space equipped for remote working with a dedicated desk and drafting table. Additional home essentials include free WiFi and a private washer/dryer.
The private deck area makes an ideal spot for morning coffee or post-hike and apres-ski cocktails.

Beutiful but cold
Beautiful cabin and location, everthing as advertised. However I didnt realize there was no central heat. The bedrooms were warm but we had to split wood and keep fires going to keep the main area warm.

Annual family trip
This is an excellent cabin that oozes with character! The grand rock fireplace in the great/common room was the focal point of our stay. The large dining table (8) was excellent for dinners and games. The kitchen was well equipped. There are a few quirks about this place that may not suite all guests (mentioned in another review). cons: parking for 1. Advertised pass for a second vehicle was never found and no resolution with management. beds were small and at least one (mine) was uncomfortably firm. Bottom line... I'd stay there again in a heart beat!

Government Camp
This property unfortunately had multiple safety concerns. The main living area only had small space heaters that tripped the breaker and unless a fire place was going was very cold. There were no operational smoke detectors on the main living or in any rooms. In one room a used pair of underpants were found, and mouse/rat droppings in the cabinets where the bowls were. The electrical outlets also were not secured and would pull out. They had unsecured artwork on top of furniture that could have fallen on a child. I never leave a bad review but these had huge safety concerns for children and future guests
