Silverheels Chalet is a mountain dream home. The care taken in this new build keeps in mind the Great Outdoors with hardy finishes, but also the comfort needed at the end of the day. The Great Room has floor to ceiling windows that let you sit and enjoy dining, relaxation, and cooking with the Mountain wonder just beyond. There is gas fireplace that is easy to light and add the cozy comfort of a fire, without the challenge of building one. Above the mantle is a large flat screen television with satellite programming. This has a modern kitchen with all the appliances you could want, even a wine cooler. There is an island that helps with extra seating, but also be part of the culinary inventions! The dining area is next to the amazing views, but still part of the open feeling. There is comfortable lounging area for those who are better at supervising the activities then participating. There is a 1/2 bath right off of the Great Room, no reason to traipse through the Master.

This is where if you want to build a wood fire, you can do so in the wood stove. Yet another large flat screen television with satellite programming. Two table areas to play games and have snacks, pool table to challenge each other to the game of the evening. This area is quite large and can be the teenagers and grown adults to enjoy!
