Alford Family Lodge - Mountain Views & Lake Walk

Step inside this three-story A-frame and your eyes go straight up the wood-paneled ceiling. Then they drop to a wall of sliding glass doors framing the forest. The main level centers on a soaring river rock fireplace and a deep leather sectional, and the loft looks down over it all. Two large decks wrap the back of the home and look out over the treetops to the mountains beyond. Bass Lake is a short walk away, which makes this a natural base for a family vacation or a group getaway.

Families can tuck the kids away and still keep the whole group close. Bedroom 1 is the main bedroom on the main level. Its queen bed is dressed in crisp white linens and sits between two nightstands with lamps, surrounded by warm wood paneling. A wood dresser holds a TV, and a mirrored closet completes the room. It is a cozy retreat for a couple. Bedroom 2 sits under the peak of the A-frame, with a vaulted knotty pine ceiling and exposed beams. Two double beds face a wide window full of trees, and a wicker chair makes a reading nook. Siblings, friends or a second couple will all sleep well here. The lower-level lounge (Other 1) has a black leather daybed with a trundle that sleeps two on twin beds. A gray sofa, a TV, bookshelves and a stove-style electric heater make it a natural hangout for kids or teens. Bathrooms Two full bathrooms keep mornings moving. One is a bright, cheerful yellow bath with a white vanity and a large window looking out to tall pines. It also has a tub and shower combo for a long soak after a day on the lake. The second bath has a tiled shower with a handheld showerhead. Fresh towels are ready when you arrive. Living Areas The main living room is built for gathering. A wraparound brown leather sectional with recliners circles a wooden coffee table on a patterned rug. A floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace anchors the room, and beside it sits a flat-screen TV with a DVD collection. Sliding glass doors pull the forest right into the room. From the open loft above, you can look down on the whole scene. A wooden spiral staircase leads to the carpeted lower-level lounge, a second spot to spread out with a movie or a book. This level also has its own separate entrance. Kitchen & Dining The kitchen sits beneath a wood-plank ceiling with exposed beams, with knotty pine A-frame walls and open shelves lined with mugs. A long live-edge wood bar with two cushioned stools is the spot for morning coffee. The kitchen has a gas range and oven, a refrigerator, a double sink, a microwave, a coffee maker, a blender, a toaster and wine glasses. The dining table sits right in the open plan, so the cook is never left out of the conversation. Decks & Mountain Views The two stacked decks are where the days stretch out. Sunny boards hold a ping pong table, a cushioned porch swing, a glass bistro table for two and several dining sets. An outdoor table with six sling chairs sits beside two gas grills for dinner in the open air. Look past the cable railings and the view drops across tall pines and leafy treetops to a distant mountain ridge under a wide sky.
