Totaling four levels, Blue Eagle Lodge has four bedroom suites, each with a full ensuite bathroom. The home has an open Living, Dining, Kitchen area, a fun "indoor/outdoor" Den with a bar/kitchenette, and a huge customized glass door to the side patio and the outdoors. A Theater room, a Game room with a pool table, numerous outdoor decks, a hot tub, covered decks, walkways, open-air patios, and a fun lower backyard safe for children and pets make this home a memorable vacation destination.
Working from the top level down, here is the layout for the Blue Eagle Lodge:
The Top Level - The "main level" features an open floor plan with vaulted tongue-in-groove ceilings and exposed beams. The primary Kitchen, recently renovated, has new granite countertops, new high-end stainless appliances, plenty of cabinet space for storage, and countertop space to prepare snacks and meals for large groups. There are 5 bar stool seats at the kitchen peninsula bar top. Adjacent to that is the open dining area with a custom-crafted banquet-style dining table that seats 13 guests. With the five adjacent bar stool seats, Blue Eagle can accommodate up to 18 people in the main dining area. The Living Room features a stone gas log fireplace, a large HD Smart TV, and comfy leather seating for a larger group to gather. The open-air rear deck offers a gas grill, outdoor dining table, Adirondack-style seating, and seasonal winter mountain views. Wall-to-wall oversized windows and glass doors allow sunlight to flood into the main Living and Dining areas and the Kitchen. Finishing out this level is a King bedroom suite with an HD Smart TV and a full ensuite bathroom with a tub and shower combo.
The Second Level - One down from the Top Level offers two bedroom suites, each with an HD Smart TV and a full ensuite bathroom. The primary master bedroom suite boasts a comfy King bed, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a private covered deck. The ensuite master bathroom has a large jetted soaking tub in front of a view window, a spa-like shower with tile and frameless glass, and a long granite vanity countertop with "his & hers" double sinks. On this level, the second bedroom suite features a large bedroom with a King bed and a Queen-over-Queen bunk bed. Its ensuite bathroom offers a tub and shower combo.
The Third Level - One floor below the "master suite" level, this level has been reinvented and renovated to create a much better setup with more value and use for vacationing guests. On this level, the King bedroom suite has a gas log fireplace, an HD Smart TV, and a convertible sleeper chair that offers a single flexible sleeping option. Customized track-style reclaimed doors offer privacy control. There is a "Jack & Jill" full bathroom that is brand new as of late 2021. This bathroom is accessed directly from the bedroom on one end and the indoor/outdoor Den on the other end and features a large shower with frameless glass. Finally, the large Den, converted from an oversized two-car garage, offers tons of space to spread out toys and games for children and teens, a customized bar with an under-mount sink, fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, and more. Comfy furniture focusing on "indoor/outdoor" durability furnishes the new Den and a customized roll-up garage-style door made entirely of glass panels. This room also has a full-size futon for extra sleeping options. Roll up this door and enjoy the Den and Patio space together. The Den and patio were thoughtfully designed to use separately and together. The side patio features a wood-burning chiminea-style enclosed fire feature and numerous Adirondack-style rocking armchairs. Exterior steps lead down from this patio to the backyard and a walkway to the free-standing courtyard deck nestled down in the backyard. It features a wood-burning outdoor chiminea fireplace, as well as bench-style seating.
The Fourth Level - The "bottom level" is essentially split in half, offering two large rooms with a "step-up and step-down" open threshold between the two sides. On one side, we have a Theater room with a total of 9 reclining leather theater-style armchairs, a giant HD Smart Screen, and room for possibly more guests to pile in and enjoy a good movie! On the other side, we have a "speakeasy-style" game room with an 8-foot slate pool table.
The Blue Eagle Lodge offers complete climate control in all four suites, with individually controlled thermostats that provide heat and air conditioning. The upper-level living/dining/kitchen area also has separate thermostat control.
