Walls of over-sized windows wrap two sides of the dining room, which centers on an antler chandelier. Views take in meadows, the mountains and the forest.
The extensive use of wood continues in the open-plan kitchen where a center island supplies prep space and bar seating for three.
An abundance of windows brings natural light into the dining room.
