Welcome to Montallori Stone Lodge -- A Stunning Hideaway with Million-Dollar Views
Don't miss Montallori's top-of-the-world privacy this year, with panoramic views of three states, their slopes adorned in spectacular fall colors of orange, gold, and maroon, or evergreens laced with snow and red ribbons for Christmas. You can't help but enjoy it all from the expansive decks, your bedroom's Juliette balcony, the hot tub, or from two dining areas for 10: one a covered stone patio for al fresco dining, the other one indoors near the glow of the fireplace. Both enjoy the captivating long-range views you came for. And with virtually no light or sound pollution, the night sky dazzles—perfect for stargazing or observing a meteor shower light up the sky.
Currently, fall decorations adorn the Old-World craftsmanship in stone, French oak, and leather that defines this comfortable lodge, featuring multiple firepits and fireplaces, billiards and two movie rooms, wingback chairs, overstuffed sofas, fitness equipment, and a sauna. Soon, Christmas decorations will transform the house into an irresistible holiday retreat, perfect for gathering with friends and family.
Treat yourself this year. Experience the Italian-inspired lodge that seems to elevate every visitor's definition of a luxurious mountain escape. Montallori Stone Lodge.
Restful Sleep
Ten guests might get the most restful sleep of their lives here. The mountaintop is pin-drop quiet, only occasionally punctuated by the sounds of birdsong or the soothing rush of a nearby stream after rain. Every bedroom (four, one includes a Queen bed and a Queen sleeper sofa) offers ceiling fans and en-suite bathrooms with heated floors and rustic-luxe finishes like slate floors and showers, granite vanities, and copper sinks. Two bedrooms offer Sleep Number(R) beds with adjustable firmness, foot warmers, and responsive comfort. The company claims that “Sleep Number sleepers get an average of one hour more of restful sleep per night.” Come, see for yourself. The main bedroom also offers a cozy seating area, a walk-in closet, and direct access to the covered deck and hot tub.
