When the day is done and the winter boots are drying by the fire, most people take the time to relax, reflect or just wonder at the beauty of the snow covered mountains. Some like to slip away for a quick nap in one of the downstairs king suites while others prefer to start preparations for dinner. There is a certain type of person, though, that just wants to get a peek at how things are going with that deal back home, and the office loft is designed with that person in mind.  

The fully functional enclave sits just a short walk away from the living room, up a few steps from the main level. It’s quaint, quiet and outfitted with everything the happy workaholic needs. There is wireless broadband for lightning-quick e-mail access and an all-in-one for all the printing, faxing and copying needs. Quiet day at the office? Shut down the computer and steel away for a quick nap or a relaxing read on the sofa. And if anyone catches you working, you can just fib and say you were setting up the table-top chess set for an evening game.

Imagine you’re well in to your first week at Timber Creek Retreat. Light snow in the evenings shimmers outside the window while the days are bright and beautiful. You’ve never been more graceful on the slopes, and the fresh air has you feeling ten years younger. A vacation, especially one at Timber Creek, truly is rejuvenating. Still, real life marches on back home, and just a little bit of work while on holiday never killed anybody. Thankfully, high up on the third floor of this massive mountain retreat is space for both work and play.

The loft offers a quiet respite from the distractions downstairs when you just need to spend some time away, be it for a little work or even just some solitary time with that book you’ve been meaning to read. While the view through the third floor windows is breathtaking and presents its own distractions, the loft has everything you need to catch up on things back home. Make copies, send a fax and check your e-mail so you can be sure everything is running smoothly in your absence, and you’ll be that much more relaxed for your remaining time in paradise.

Food, wine and fun effortlessly coexist in this wide open floor plan. Snacks in the kitchen are just arm’s reach from the cozy conversation pit in the living room, and the adjacent dining room with seating for 10 makes gathering all 21 sleepers together in one place not only possible, but easy. The split level offers just enough division of space to make each area its own without closing off the free flow between them. Windows accent the kitchen, dining room and living room offering breathtaking views all around. A vacation rental this versatile is a rare and beautiful find.

Relaxing in the pit offers plenty of idle distractions. The big-screen TV competes with the stunning view of the slopes outside the windows, and the double glass doors grant easy access to the wrap around deck outside. The versatile space is perfect for a hearty group breakfast, afternoon relaxation with the game on TV or wine and hors d’oeuvres as the sun sets across the hills outside. But fear not, workaholics. The office loft is just a half-staircase away, so you can slip out quietly to check for that fax you’ve been waiting on.
