It is nestled against a massive boulder on 1.3 acres along scenic trout-stocked Cove Creek with surrounding pastures and mountains which guests have compared to as “Mini Ireland”. Inside, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a striking stone fireplace create a warm, inviting ambiance, elevated by chic mountain-modern finishes.
