Description
The Mountaineer’s Lodge is a timeless 3,700 sq ft log cabin perched on a scenic corner lot overlooking Foster Lake Meadow, with breathtaking views of Tahquitz Rock and forested ridgelines. From the moment you arrive, this one-of-a-kind home invites connection—whether you're hosting a lively gathering or simply soaking in the stillness of the mountains. A wide wraparound deck surrounds the home, offering a hot tub, sitting nooks, and plenty of space for al fresco dining and entertaining under the pines. Enter through the welcoming family room, where one door leads to the oversized garage and the other opens to the deck. Inside, an open-concept main level flows beautifully from the well-appointed kitchen—with island and walk-in pantry—to the formal dining room and an expansive living area anchored by a woodstove, French doors, and a handcrafted pub-style cedar bar that could easily belong in a boutique lodge. Upstairs, a large window seat welcomes natural light and quiet moments. Three guest bedrooms share two beautiful, tiled bathrooms—one cheerful and custom, the other warm and rustic. A bookshelf-lined hallway leads to the romantic primary suite with high ceilings and two private ensuite bathrooms: one with a deep jetted tub, the other with a tub and shower combo, both flooded with natural light. Downstairs, a finished lower-level bonus space offers even more flexibility—currently used as a studio with its own bath, this area is ideal for a game room, creative retreat, or overflow guest zone. The oversized garage is set up as a recreation and lounge space, rounding out the home’s generous layout. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, multi-generational escape, or luxury mountain lodge with soul, The Mountaineer’s Lodge offers warmth, scale, and unforgettable character.
