Historic Mountain Retreat - Close to Boreal

Experience History and Luxury in Emigrant Gap!

Welcome to this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat, where history meets modern comfort. Once a bustling general store in the late 1800s, this beautifully restored and quirky cabin offers 3,000 square feet of living space to relax, reconnect, and recharge. Here’s what you’ll find:

Main Level: Upon entry, you'll step into the heart of the home. This level features three bedrooms, each with a luxurious king bed. Two bedrooms are generously sized, while the third offers a more intimate, cozy feel. The primary bedroom also includes a convenient laundry closet. A fully equipped kitchen and cozy dining area make it easy to prepare and enjoy meals together. The living room provides a comfortable space to gather and unwind. Here you'll discover 55" 4k smart television where you can stream any of your favorite shows. Additionally, there are two and a half baths on this level.

Lower Level: Head downstairs to find a secondary living room featuring a pellet stove, perfect for chilly evenings, and a 65" smart TV with surround sound. From here, step onto the partially covered patio to take in the serene forest views. This level also includes a private washroom and separate shower room for added convenience.

Upper Level: The charm continues upstairs with a loft-style open bedroom featuring two twin beds. This cozy space offers a quiet retreat within the home.

Whether you’re here to explore the surrounding trails, enjoy the mountain air on the patio, or relax in this historical yet luxurious cabin, this Emigrant Gap gem promises a memorable and restful escape.
