The space
Little Log Lodge is an updated 1970 two-story mountain home with minimalist woodsy mid-century vibes. The deck and balconies offer ample forest views for relaxation, reading, and animal viewing.
Our neighborhood is peaceful and quiet except for chatty birds and squirrels. We ask guests to match the local low-key vibe and follow Good Neighbor practices.
We are also dedicated to eco-friendly living -- please bring re-useable water bottles, be mindful of trash, and conserve where possible. See below for EV charging info.

On the main floor, you will find a chef's kitchen with a Bertazzoni gas range, coffee and tea station, dishwasher, and large farmhouse sink. The kitchen opens to comfortable lounging and dining areas with a soaring wood-paneled ceiling with skylights. A wood-burning fireplace, Marshall speaker, bar area (outdoor-safe barware provided), games, records, books, and balcony with BBQ/griddle and rocking chairs complete the space.
The house has central heat. The living room has a mini-split for A/C and heating.
