Trapper by AvantStay | A+ Interior Design w/ Sauna
★ Recognized as one of our best. This home was a finalist in the 2025 AvantStay Awards, our annual celebration of top-tier stays.
Welcome to Trapper by AvantStay! This multi-level modern mountain retreat boasts exquisite craftsmanship, an open floor plan, and a spacious deck offering breathtaking views of the Sierra Mountains. Nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac, Trapper provides a private and serene setting, perfect for your next getaway.
As you step through the front door, you're greeted by a generous wet/mudroom, ideal for storing your winter or summer gear and preparing for the day's adventures while staying sheltered from the elements. The second door off the mudroom leads you into a grand foyer, warmly welcoming you into the home.
On the main level, you'll find a full guest bathroom with a walk-in shower, a loft/entertainment/TV area, and a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a private patio with stunning views. The cozy loft/TV room features a flatscreen SMART TV with streaming services, perfect for movie nights, reading, or quiet relaxation.
Descend a short flight of stairs to the living area, where cathedral ceilings, comfortable furnishings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a wall of windows flood the space with natural light and panoramic views. The modern, well-equipped kitchen and dining area are two steps down from the living area, perfect for preparing meals and gathering with loved ones while enjoying scenic vistas from the large surrounding windows.
Step through the sliding glass door off the dining area to the private, expansive deck—ideal for outdoor adventures and savoring the best views this mountain home has to offer. Unwind after a long day with a rejuvenating soak in the hot tub or relax in the private sauna, ready to help you soak away the day.
The lower level houses the remaining living quarters, including two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a loft with a twin bunk bed, and a stackable washer and dryer. One ensuite features a private entrance to the deck. Each room offers unique charm, privacy, comfort, and the convenience of a connected bathroom.
