Description
Gelk: Adventure Calls

Welcome to the enchanting embrace of “The Gelk” – your home away from home, where nature sings and your adventures begin. Nestled in the serene mountains, this sprawling 4-bedroom cabin unfolds over a generous 3000 square feet, inviting you and your friends or family to indulge in a refuge of comfort and lavishes. Picture this: you step in to revel in a living room so majestically designed that, as you sink into the plush, oversized sofas, and gaze upon the flickering flames within the captivating local stone fireplace, time itself seems to pause. The large-screen TV stands ready to show your favorite movies or your cherished weekend games while you sip on cocktails crafted at the 15-foot-long decorated wet bar – the heart of your soiree.

As the sun dips and the stars weave their tapestry above the mountains, laughter spills out from the heated bubbles of the six-person hot tub, complementing the radiant glow that surrounds The Gelk. You’ll find that every corner of this cabin has its own story to tell; from the rustic charm of the wooden beams overhead to the culinary adventures you can create in a full, spacious kitchen that begs for gourmet gatherings. With accommodations for up to eight people, The Gelk guarantees that every escapade will be wrapped in warmth, elegance, and those enchanting memories that linger long after your stay. Whether you're here for a vivid mountain retreat, serene evenings of card games, or spirited storytelling around the fireplace, The Gelk is the canvas, and you are the artist of your own unforgettable getaway. So go ahead, live large – adventure calls!

**TV is streaming only using guests logins. The Gelk has 2 options for Wifi to ensure you have a backup option if one goes down!

Gelk is located next door to Angulo and a few doors down from A Great Mountain Pleasure for larger group accommodations.
