After a day in the mountain air, the new hot tub offers a simple ritual—warm water, cool evenings, and a front-row seat to the landscape. The setting balances motion and stillness: direct access to skiing when you want it, and a private-feeling retreat when you don’t. With just a few, well-chosen updates and a view that anchors the experience, the cabin reads as a place designed for unhurried winters and long, scenic shoulder seasons alike.

Inside, high-end finishes run throughout, anchored by a gourmet kitchen designed for gathering after days outdoors.
