The Grande Butte Lodge has a loyal following of families – not only for its size, but also for the setting and the scale of its gathering areas. It feels like home. LIVING SPACES Enter the vaulted-ceiling, main-floor gathering area – with the kitchen updated in 2017, to include a commercial freezer and refrigerator (in addition to a standard size unit with ice and water), and a granite-topped serpentine island that seats 10. (Yes, 10.) Leather sofas surround the gas fireplace and satellite tv. Log-style furniture, plaid pillows and antler accents, support the lodge theme. The harvest table and additional seating face a wall of windows, with a door to the porch that overlooks the pool and the countryside. The lower level gathering area centers on the stone, wood-burning fireplace and another satellite tv. Billiard table and four-top, game tables complete the space. The lower level opens up to the pool level. Outdoors – The porch has Edison string lights and comortable seating to enjoy the views.
