Birch Lodge by AvantStay | Indoor Pool, Theater, Game Room & Stunning Views!

Built into the side of a mountain and boasting stunning views of the forest scenery, Birch Lodge offers a mountain retreat like no other. This incredible cabin boasts three stories and a fourth-story loft, accommodating up to 11 guests.

Step inside to an open floor plan on the main level, where vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light. The living area exudes an elevated cozy ambiance, with comfortable leather couches and a grand stone fireplace. It is uniquely designed with rustic accents and elements of nature, like an antler chandelier and a tree trunk stretching through the third story and loft. With five bedrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to rest and recharge.

Entertainment abounds with fun for all ages at Birch Lodge! A game room features a pool table and arcade games, inviting a bit of friendly competition. The theater room is equipped with a large flat-screen TV and movie theater seats for the ultimate cinematic experience. But the real highlight? An indoor pool and hot tub, creating an oasis within your mountain cabin retreat.

Those looking to unwind will find sanctuary in the sauna. Relaxation continues outside, where three spacious decks each offer ample seating for the group to spread out and enjoy the fresh mountain air. Opt for a hanging egg chair or bench swing for the perfect leisurely afternoon with your favorite book.
