A romantic escape with a “modern ski lodge” atmosphere, Osprey Cottage is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat that has attracted visitors since the 1930s. The recently renovated home sits on the upper level of a two-story cottage, boasting a private covered porch, radiant heat, wood-paneled walls and high ceilings. * Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning. Osprey also lies steps from the community fire pit, surrounded by towering cedar trees for a cozy evening after a day on the mountain or lake. Inside, a light-filled, open-concept living area combines mountain ambience with modern entertainment. Keep your evenings tech-free with a board game on the dining room table or glass of wine on the porch -- or indulge in modern amenities with a smart soundbar and large-screen TV, fully equipped with cable and streaming capabilities. Just below the TV, you’ll also find a spacious writer’s desk, designed to flow seamlessly with the room while adding functional work space during longer stays. Steps from the living area, a fully equipped kitchen sets the stage for home-cooked meals with Bosch, GE, and Liebherr appliances. Enjoy cozy dinners for two, or invite guests to the 4-seat dining table. Although this 1-bedroom cottage is designed with couples in mind, the primary suite offers a king-sized bed which can be converted to two extra-long twins upon request. Please note that any children must be over the age of 12 to stay at Osprey Cottage. Eclectically styled in an alpine-mod style with tiled floors and a patterned accent wall, the bedroom also features a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a deep tub shower. A separate powder room adds convenience, while a private washer and dryer allow you to pack light, no matter how long you stay.
