Room for every generation, with space to get away from each other

Indigo Pines is a 3,500-square-foot home built for big groups. Grandparents get real privacy, teens get their own floor, and kids get an entire arcade. Everyone comes back together around a dining table that seats 10, a deck that seats 18, or a fire pit under the pines.

A seven-person hot tub you can use in any weather

Your private hot tub sits under the covered lower deck behind a privacy screen, so snow and rain stay off while you soak. Two hanging chairs swing right beside it, and the outdoor bar is around the corner.

It was installed brand new in July 2025.

This place was perfect for our large group. Seven bedrooms meant everyone had their own space to retreat to at the end of the night. The two suites were an absolute highlight.
Alexis K. Airbnb, March 2026
We had a wonderful stay at this property! We especially enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. The nearby Lake Sinca was absolutely beautiful and added to the overall experience.
Dofin M. Vrbo, October 2026
The large space easily accomodated our large family (5 kids, 3 spouses and 8 grandchildren). The hot tub was wonderful and the fire pit was fun.
Sharon E. Booking.com, November 2026
After a long day of snowboarding, the sauna was such a highlight and made the experience even more relaxing, along with the fire pit for s’mores. Even when we were snowed in at one point, Nicole made us feel safe.
Stephanie M. Airbnb, January 2026
This was a really fun house! Sauna, hot tub, outdoor deck/eating space were all big hits for the adults, and the game rooms were a big hit for the kids. Proximity to the nearby lake was also a major plus.
Tyler R. Airbnb, June 2026
There were plenty of rooms to accommodate grownups and kids. The hot tub and swings were well used as was the game room. Nicole responded quickly with answers to our questions. Our family loved our time here.
Karen L. Airbnb, July 2026
We had the greatest long weekend at Indigo Pines! The house was exactly as pictured and had all of the space and everything that we needed, even for 7 families!
Amanda A. Airbnb, February 2026
The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The best part - nicole had ice cream sandwiches and a few other necessities delivered to our door step for check in!
Julia Q. Airbnb, March 2026
