With over 3,000 square feet and two thoughtfully designed levels, living in this Mountain Lake Home is an experience that would feel both cozy and grand.
From the moment you approach the welcoming front porch, you can almost picture cool evenings spent around a fire, laughter echoing beneath exposed timber trusses, and sunlight streaming through tall windows.
I’m excited to walk you through how each space serves a unique purpose, while the layout stays connected for daily life and special gatherings.

The Floor Plans:
Entry
You come in beneath a wide covered porch, supported by sturdy stone columns and wood beams that give a timeless and solid feel.
The cathedral ceiling in the entry creates a dramatic sense of space and airiness. You’ll find practical touches like a nearby bench and a row of lockers—perfect for dropping bags or muddy boots right as you arrive.
If you know the headache of scattered shoes and coats, I think you’ll appreciate how this setup keeps the mess out of sight.
Mud Room
Located next to the garage entrance, the mud room is more than just a pass-through.
It acts as a buffer between the outside and your main living areas. There’s extra built-in storage for coats and gear, plus enough space to set down groceries or pet leashes without crowding the hallway.
For busy families or anyone with outdoor hobbies, this room takes care of those little daily hassles.
Pocket Office
Just behind the kitchen, there’s a pocket office that’s both unexpected and useful. Thanks to the built-in desk and shelving, you get a quiet place to focus—ideal for remote work, homework, or organizing bills.

I like how the designer placed it close to the heart of the home, but it’s still separate enough to limit distractions.
Kitchen
The kitchen is a real highlight. At the center, an oversized island serves as both a prep station and a breakfast bar.
You have open sightlines to the dining area and great room, which helps conversation flow even when you’re busy cooking.
The walk-in pantry keeps everything organized, offering plenty of counter and shelf space for bulk items or appliances.
I think this kitchen naturally encourages casual gatherings. It’s easy to imagine chili simmering on the stove while friends gather around.
Dining Room
Next to the kitchen, the dining room manages to feel both connected and distinct. There’s space for a generous table, so you can seat a crowd for holidays or enjoy a cozy dinner for four.
This area’s location beside a covered deck makes it easy to take meals outdoors when the weather is nice.
If you like lingering over coffee or dessert, you’ll love how simple it is to move between inside and out.
Great Room
In the great room, you get that classic lodge vibe right away. Cathedral ceilings soar above, anchored by a built-in feature wall that’s perfect for a fireplace or media center.
Sunlight fills the space from the rear windows, and the open plan means you stay connected with people in the kitchen or dining room.
If you love entertaining, or just want extra breathing room, this area has a welcoming feel.
Sitting Room
Just off the great room, a separate sitting area gives you a quiet retreat. It’s a great spot to curl up with a book or chat over a cup of tea.

The windows look out over the back deck, so you can enjoy the view even on chilly days.
I think this space is a clever way to add intimacy while still being close to the main action.
Master Bedroom (Mbr.)
For added privacy, the master bedroom suite stands out. With its large size and tall ceilings, the room feels luxurious but not over-the-top.
There’s room for a king bed, a reading chair, and space to move around. The suite connects directly to a spacious bathroom.
That means you wake up to comfort and calm, not clutter and noise.
Master Bathroom
In the master bath, you’ll find dual sinks and lots of counter space, which makes mornings run smoothly.
The soaking tub and walk-in shower provide relaxation after a long day, and the walk-in closet is big enough for all your clothes, no matter the season.
There’s even a linen closet nearby for easy access. For anyone who values a little elbow room, this suite delivers.
Bedroom 2 (Br. 2)
A short distance from the master, Bedroom 2 is a comfortable space for guests or family members.
It’s positioned for privacy, with its own window views and convenient access to a full bathroom just down the hall.
The roomy closet helps keep belongings neatly stored.
Main Level Bathrooms
On the main floor, you’ll find a full bath for Bedroom 2 and a powder room off the central hall for guests. These bathrooms are placed with both privacy and convenience in mind, making day-to-day living and hosting much easier.
Laundry
Close to the bedrooms, the laundry area includes washer and dryer connections, plus shelving and folding space. This setup means you don’t have to carry laundry far, which I think makes household chores a lot more manageable.
Covered Decks
A major highlight here is the series of covered decks that wrap around the house.
Off the dining room and sitting area, these decks are perfect for relaxing, grilling, or enjoying a sunset drink.
The covered design keeps the outdoors accessible in any season. The main entry porch and a separate deck off Bedroom 2 add even more ways to enjoy the fresh air.

Outdoor Kitchen
Just beyond the main kitchen, you’ll find a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. The combination of matte black cabinetry and wood siding gives it a stylish edge.
Imagine grilling dinner while chatting with friends under string lights, the smell of barbecue in the mountain air.
For anyone who enjoys outdoor gatherings, this feature is a big plus.
Pool House
A few steps past the outdoor kitchen brings you to the pool house. It’s designed with built-ins for pool gear and storage, plus enough seating for a break from the sun or swimming.
It’s practical, too, since towels, snacks, and sunscreen stay close by without tracking water through the main house.
Garage
The attached garage is more than just a space for cars. Its wide layout and extra depth provide room for bikes, tools, and maybe even a workbench.
Direct indoor access lets you unload groceries or gear straight into the mud room, no matter the weather.
Pantry
Next to the kitchen, the walk-in pantry offers plenty of storage for dry goods and small appliances. Open shelves make it easy to see what you have at a glance and help avoid last-minute grocery runs.
Pocket Office Desk
For quick tasks or as a family command center, the built-in desk near the pantry keeps calendars and paperwork organized. You can manage bills, sign permission slips, or keep recipes handy—all without cluttering the kitchen.
Stairs
A central staircase near the entry leads you downstairs to a whole new living area.
Family Room (Fam.)
At the bottom of the stairs, you’re greeted by a spacious family room. This flexible space works for movie nights, game tournaments, or big holiday gatherings.

The built-in feature wall is perfect for a large TV or a wall of books.

Light flows in from the patio doors, connecting this level to the outdoors as easily as upstairs.
Wet Bar
Off the family room, there’s a wet bar with space for a beverage fridge, sink, and counter seating.
It’s perfect for serving snacks and drinks during parties or lazy afternoons. Everything you need is right here, so you don’t have to go upstairs for refills.
Table Area
A dedicated table area sits next to the family room. Use it for board games, homework, or crafts—it’s flexible enough to handle whatever comes up.
With direct access to the covered patio, you can take the fun outside in seconds.
Covered Patio
The lower level’s covered patio stretches almost the full width of the house. With nearly 900 square feet, it’s like having another living room outdoors.
The rattan seating grouped around a central fire feature is great for late-night conversations or roasting marshmallows.
String lights overhead keep things festive, even after dark.
Bedroom 3 (Br. 3)
Across from the family room, Bedroom 3 is set apart for extra quiet and privacy. It’s ideal for guests or teens, with a big closet and close access to a full bath.
Bedroom 4 (Br. 4)
Bedroom 4 matches Bedroom 3 in size and comes with its own bath. Having two equal bedrooms avoids any “short straw” arguments—a real plus for families or frequent visitors.
Golf Simulator Room
This is where the house really stands out: a golf simulator room. No matter your skill level, this space gives you year-round fun.
It could even double as a media or game room if golf isn’t your thing.
Exercise Room
If fitness is part of your routine, you’ll appreciate the dedicated exercise room. There’s room for cardio equipment or yoga mats, plus a direct entrance to a full bath for post-workout convenience.
Storage
Down the hall, a large storage room with a hidden door helps keep all your seasonal gear, decorations, and extras organized. I like how it’s easy to get to, but keeps everything neatly out of sight.
Safe Room
Inside the storage room, you’ll find a safe room hidden behind a discreet door. This space is ideal for valuables or as a storm shelter.
It’s a thoughtful feature that shows real attention to detail and security.
Laundry (Lower Level)
A second laundry area downstairs comes with folding counters and storage. There’s no need to haul loads between floors.
Each level can operate on its own, which I think is especially practical for large families or long-term guests.
Lower Level Bathrooms
A full bathroom near the exercise room, plus additional shared baths for the bedrooms, means everyone has privacy and space, even with a full house.
Every corner of this home is designed with real living in mind. Whether you’re relaxing by the fire, working from home, or hosting friends for a summer barbecue, there’s a spot that feels just right.
I love how this mountain retreat offers comfort, function, and style on every level.
