$fractional property ownership$ Encompassing 2,400 square feet, including three bedrooms and three and one-half baths, each handsomely furnished residence offers ample living space. Premium-quality appliances and granite countertops grace the kitchen. Two of the bedrooms are master suites, one featuring a steam shower and the other a walk-in shower and soaking tub. A washer and dryer add extra convenience, and all bath, kitchen and laundry sundries are provided. Your home is elegant, yet rustic in all the right places. Wood and stone sheath the exterior, while inside, oak floors and knotty-pine ceilings impart cozy warmth. Expansive windows bring nature’s beauty inside.

Two large decks – one off the great room, the adjoining a master suite – invite relaxed viewing of the surrounding mountains. In the great room, a large wood-burning fireplace serves as the convivial heart of your home.

Because Mountain Club recognizes that some owners have more time during the year to enjoy the Club than others, the Club offers two unique ownership opportunities: a one-sixth ownership and a one-twelfth ownership. During each Club Year, each one-sixth ownership can reserve a maximum of 28 planned vacation days in Mountain Club homes designated for one-sixth owners. Each one-twelfth ownership can reserve a maximum of 14 planned vacation days in Mountain Club homes designated for one-twelfth owners. Planned vacation arrivals and departures may occur on a Friday or Sunday.

In addition to planned vacations, each ownership has unlimited access to and use of Mountain Club homes within their ownership category on a space-available basis. Each owner can have only one space-available vacation reservation on the books at any given time. In addition to planned vacations and space-available vacations, each ownership can make short notice vacation reservations anytime within three days of the scheduled arrival date for that reservation.

With this flexibility, owners can own a vacation home at a price commensurate with their family’s unique vacation needs.
