Overnight guests will feel at home in their spacious bedroom, which features an en suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
Timber frames are often built in spectacular locations, and the BigSkyEscape maximizes one’s sense of place with outdoor spaces that beckon all day and well into the night. The open deck connects to a screened-in porch and outdoor kitchen via an exterior walkway for a variety of living spaces that immerse you in the gorgeous scenery. Sip beverages while cooking outside, share a meal on the porch then retreat to the deck for stargazing and a nightcap.

Its hosting smarts don’t end there, though. A spacious coat closet accommodates multiple sets of coats, boots, hats, and mittens. An open-but-defined dining space is purposefully situated between the offset kitchen and living room for fluid great room spaces that are distinct yet connected. And upstairs, cozy second and third bedrooms in the loft outfitted with a full bath create a private guest retreat overlooking the great room below.

Everyone can stretch out and play games in the lower-level rec room or gather around the fireplace in the main level’s living area. Ample outdoor entertainment options are available in the home’s two decks and two porches, including a screened-in porch.

A grand entryway opens up to a statement great room, which gracefully leads to a covered deck and cleverly placed outdoor kitchen adjacent to the dining room.
Lofts are often a highlight in timber frame plans, and Thistlewood’s provides gracious accommodations for overnight guests. Each of the two bedrooms has its own en suite bath. A hallway connects to an optional fourth bedroom positioned over the garage.
