About this property

Private Home on 4 Acres, Outdoor Hot Tub, Movie Room w/100's of Movie Options

Welcome to Timber Ridge - a 3 story custom-built home nestled in the woods on 4 secluded acres surrounded by greenspace. This one of a kind 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home is loaded with unique features!

Explore the sprawling property with a stroll down "Miner's Way"- a short nature trail along the wooded edge of the yard. Spend the evening seated around the campfire or take in the incredible view of the stars while soaking in the 7 person hot tub. Choose from hundreds of movies on the DVR for family movie night in our cozy "Cedar Theater".

The kids will love playtime at "Saplings"- their own secret playroom tucked under the stairs and just the right size for your tiny tykes. Tweens & teens will love to escape to “Twigs” Game Room, located outside just off the garage, which features a 2-player electronic shootout basketball game, bumper pool, darts, mini shuffleboard, hook & ring, and a 2-joystick video game console loaded with 2,000+ nostalgic arcade games that parents will love too!

Timber Ridge offers guests plenty of quiet spaces to retreat and rest comfortably. There are 3 queen suites (Pine, Walnut & Oak) with private baths- located on each level of the home. The main level suite features a private balcony and attached nursery (Seedlings) with pack and play, changing table, baby gates & child-size stowaway cot. The spacious half bathroom located on the main level accommodates a washer/dryer that is available for guest use. The lower level features 2 queen bedrooms (Hickory & Maple) that share a full bath, in addition to 2 sets of heavy duty twin bunk beds (top bunks can support adults up to 300 lbs.) in Slumber Jacks bunk room, a semi-private space located just off the home theater. A queen sofa sleeper is available in the theater as well. 2 of the lower level bedrooms have private access to the ground-level patio and walkway to hot tub.

The impressive great room with a wood burning fireplace provides access to a large deck perfect for grilling and outdoor dining. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook homemade meals for a crowd including plenty of extra dishes to accommodate large groups.

Fun Family Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our time at TimberRidge was everything we needed it to be. We stayed there (family of 5) with friends of ours (family of 6) and the space worked perfectly for us. There was plenty of space/bed to accommodate our 7 children and 4 adults. The living room was a favorite hangout and we loved the reclining sofas/chairs. We especially appreciated having a table large enough for us all to eat together and the lazy Susans were such a helpful touch! The kitchen was well stocked and we had what we needed in order to cook for our crowd. Our only complaint was the amount of dust around the home. As someone who grew up in a remote.rural place I know it is a never ending battle, but it was very noticeable in some areas (not enough to make the trip unbearable). We have stayed in other homes in the Territories and this home was the first one that ticked all the boxes for our large troop! Thank you for a wonderful stay--we will certainly return!

Great Getaway
Our family of 8 adults and 4 kids, aged 7-11, had a wonderful weekend. It was too cold for outdoor activity but there was lots to keep everybody entertained in the roomy house and separate game room. We were gathering for a late Christmas celebration and were happy to see the Christmas tree and decorations around the house. We contacted the service for early check-in, and again with a problem with the game room door lock, and our concerns were handled quickly and courteously. We would consider using this house again and recommend it to others.
