Pine Ridge Retreat is a traditional ski chalet perched above the treetops with a short walk to the Red Eye ski slope. Ski or bike down to the lodge, then ride the lift up to ski or bike back to the house! The great room's huge glass doors, windows, deck create private treetop serenity. Access this chalet directly from the driveway and front deck - no steps! The flat circular driveway easily accommodates four vehicles. This chalet's convenience to ski/bike slopes is hard to beat, and it's central location makes for an easy drive to nearby amenities - < 1 mile to the Resort lodge and 2.3 miles to Smiley's Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, RHouse Wine & Cafe, and the Community Store. Please review the listing photos carefully. Drone photos show proximity to the Resort. Many features of this traditional chalet have been updated with modern amenities, but retains a classy rustic charm. It's a perfect location for families and groups that desire the rare combination of privacy and convenience. FEATURES & AMENITIES: The open great room includes a dining area and living room with a brick gas log fireplace and large SmartTV above the mantle. The kitchen has ample counter space and new, white appliances. It's conveniently located adjacent to the great room and dining area and includes basic cookware, tableware, appliances, and a basket-style drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind). The dining area seats six at the table and another two at the kitchen bar. The main floor also includes a bedroom with queen bed, full bath across the hallway from the bedroom, and several points of access to the three-sided wrap-around deck. The spacious king master-suite loft looks out through the great room's huge windows and has its own balcony, TV, and a full bath. The finished basement features a second living room with queen sleeper sofa, wood-burning fireplace, another SmartTV, pool table, a lower-level deck (with access to the property), a laundry room with full-size washer & dryer, large freezer, small refrigerator, two more bedrooms (one queen, one full/twin bunk beds), and another full bathroom. Sleeps up to 11 comfortably. The chalet is supplied with bedding (pillows, bedspreads, blankets), fresh bed linens, one towel set per max occupants, one travel-size bar soap per max occupants, two rolls toilet paper per bathroom, two dishwasher tabs, five trash bags, one bath trash bag per bathroom, one paper towel roll, one kitchen dish towel, one travel-size dish soap, and one scrubby pad. We encourage guests with large groups, or who are staying several nights, or who are heavy users of consumable supplies to bring extra supplies or purchase them at the local Basye Community Store.
