Aiming to please both adventure and architecture fans, the home is completely off-grid with all modern amenities. Winning numerous architectural awards, the house is surrounded by mountains with large windows to offer views of the beautiful surrounding scenery. The interior features plywood-lined walls to create a comforting aesthetic, paired with a wood-fired stove and a cedar hot tub to allow all guests a relaxing stay. The comfortable furniture and unique artwork make the house a unique travel option that feels like a home away from home.
