Close to downtown, family/pet friendly, mountain views, tv/game room

The Big House is a sprawling 5 bdrm, 3 bath, 2 living rm affair designed to support your whole family vacation in style. The open concept kitchen/dining/living area features a full size shuffleboard table under a window framing Sierra Blanca, a gas fireplace below a flat screen, satelite connected TV, and some unique Texas style seating. On the other side of the marble top bar there is a gas range and a kitchen with all the food prep and cook ware any chef could need. Dishwasher, double ovens, pantry, fridge/freezer combo, ice maker, and RO softened water complete the room. Cook big and serve your crew at the pine dining table, and then adjourn to the downstairs TV/bar/poker table/wood burning fireplace room decorated in the style of a mountain dive bar. Why yes that is a skunk pelt hanging on the wall, thank you for asking, and yes we have talked and laughed well into the night on a number of occasions, and we invite you to do the same!! After drinks downstairs head up to the master suite and enjoy the private balcony for a night cap before sliding into the comfortable king bed, and pulling the black out shades until it's time to do it all over again. The master bathroom features a walk in closet, two sinks, and a huge shower with two shower heads. There are a washer and dryer in case y'all get messy feel free to do a load of laundry. The other direction out of the kitchen leads to the 4 downstairs bedrooms...the front room sports bunk beds, a TV, and a kids table and chairs for the little ones to conduct kid business. The next room down the hall is dual closeted and contains a comfy king bed, two nightstands, and bench. The back two bedrooms flank two full bathrooms, one more set of bunk beds in one, and a queen in the other. Both offer loads of closet space for your things. The backyard begins with a dual seating area deck and propane/charcoal grill BBQ. From there the yard falls away into a wooded ravine where we play with our dogs and enjoy nature under the stars.
