Description

Forestview Escape Near Lake Cascade

Nestled at the edge of the National Forest and less than a mile from the serene waters of Lake Cascade, this elegant retreat offers a refined mountain escape with modern comforts and thoughtful design. Built in 2022, the residence sits on a private acre of wooded land and blends clean architectural lines with warm textures and natural finishes. Soaring ceilings and expansive windows in the great room frame peaceful views of the forest, creating a tranquil ambiance that extends throughout the home.

The interior is carefully curated for both relaxation and connection. The open-concept great room features rich wood floors, three oversized sofas, a stone-clad gas fireplace, and a 4K television—all designed for cozy gatherings. The adjoining chef’s kitchen is well-appointed with quartz countertops, a striking copper range hood, and premium Bosch and LG appliances. A farmhouse dining table and island seating offer ample space for shared meals. Upstairs, a club-style loft provides a casual lounge with leather recliners, a PS-5 gaming console, and a jumbo curved screen TV for entertainment.

Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged with comfort in mind. The primary suite includes a king bed, en suite bath, mountain views, and blackout blinds for restful nights. A second guest room features a pine queen bed with a lofted twin XL above, while the bunk room offers six twin XL beds ideal for families or groups. The home includes two full bathrooms with luxury amenities and soft, high-quality linens. Outside, the private backyard offers a seasonal yurt, firepit with Adirondack chairs, string lights, and patio seating—perfect for stargazing or morning coffee amid whispering pines.

Beyond the home, the Donnelly area invites exploration and adventure. Spend the day on Lake Cascade kayaking, fishing, or swimming. Head six miles to Tamarack Resort for skiing, snowboarding, or summer mountain biking. Nearby hiking trails wind through the adjacent National Forest, while the charming towns of McCall and Donnelly offer cozy cafes, artisan shops, and seasonal farmers markets. In winter, the landscape transforms into a snowy playground for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.

With its peaceful setting, elegant interiors, and close proximity to nature, this well-appointed mountain residence offers a graceful blend of sophistication and comfort. Whether gathered by the fireplace, exploring nearby trails, or relaxing under the stars, guests will find that every detail of this home invites serenity and connection.
