Pine Ridge Retreat is a traditional ski chalet perched above the treetops with a short walk to the Red Eye ski slope. Ski or bike down to the lodge, then ride the lift up to ski or bike back to the house! The great room's huge glass doors, windows, deck create private treetop serenity. Access this chalet directly from the driveway and front deck - no steps! The flat circular driveway easily accommodates four vehicles. This chalet's convenience to ski/bike slopes is hard to beat, and it's central location makes for an easy drive to nearby amenities - < 1 mile to the Resort lodge and 2.3 miles to Smiley's Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, RHouse Wine & Cafe, and the Community Store.
