Blue Creek lodge offers panoramic vistas

Built in the right setting, the bright and spacious hexagonal great room at the center of the Blue Creek serves up a panorama of stunning views. And the vistas from inside this lodge are yours to enjoy from the moment you step inside.

The main floor has a ground level entrance, but is one story above the ground at the rear. Hefty log posts highlight the entry. A king post and struts highlight its lofty vaulted porch. Double doors open into the expansive great room, which is richly glassed in the three back wall sections. Tall windows flank the mess-free gas fireplace centered in the section to the right.

Across the room from the entry, twin sets of sliding glass doors open onto a vaulted and covered deck that is a near reflection of the front porch. A log handrail rims the wide deck that wraps around the rear, creating an extensive outdoor living area.

Wings extend out to the left and right of the great room. On the left, a peninsular eating bar bounds a roomy kitchen with plenty of cupboard and counter space, including a central work island. The owners' suite, with its twin lavs and large walk-in closet, is just down the hall. A second bedroom and bathroom fill the opposite wing.

Outside, on the basement level at the rear of the Blue Creek, hefty posts support the main floor deck above, creating a covered colonnade below. A hexagonal two-car garage with plenty of extra work and storage space sits below the great room. Basement rooms, which could initially be finished or unfinished, extend off of the hexagon in the same configuration as above.
