There are three bedrooms thoughtfully designed in modern decor to give you a comfortable, beautiful place to rest at 9000 feet. A study in the center of the house provides a spot to work and use the 50mb internet. There are two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one spacious in-suite master with a shower.
A fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, an island for cooking and hanging out, and of course - views - are set just off from the the dining area.
The large marble dining table with ample seating for 8 doubles as a ping pong table for indoor entertainment.
Furnishings from Royal Botania, Blu Dot, Design Within Reach, Restoration Hardware, and CB2 are mixed with vintage and handcrafted pieces by the owners, who are also woodworkers and art lovers.
Sticking to the upcycled theme of Stillwater, nearly all the furniture has been thoughtfully chosen, either upcycled or crafted using lumber we milled from the pine trees cut to clear the build site. All surrounding landscaping is native.
