The Main Level Hand selected British Columbian red oak wood floors are found throughout the main level. This is the main “living area” where you will find the fully stocked Gourmet Kitchen (spices, herbs, plates, bowls, cookware, silverware, and cooking basics – flour, sugar, olive oil, etc.), the antler chandeliered Dining Room, super comfy Great Room, outside deck, and one of Steamboat Valhalla’s Master Suites. With a beautiful view of the southern Yampa Valley and the 12-person hot tub (exclusive to our guests and 5 neighbors), the Gourmet Kitchen has an oversized over/under refrigerator/freezer, knife and chopping block, a full-size pantry, an extra deep and large double sink, and an industrial dishwasher. The 12’ granite breakfast bar and full wrap around counter top provide an abundance of space for the most industrious of chefs. The stainless steel stove and oven along with microwave make any dish a possibility. Everything you need for fresh cappuccinos, espressos, and lattes (except for cream) is furnished with the easiest to use espresso machine we’ve ever seen. The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining room, and Great Room naturally lends to keeping everything and everyone central (there’s even a half-bath conveniently located right off the kitchen). It provides plenty of room for comfortably visiting with friends and family without cramping anyone’s style. Whether it’s the big sports event, the weather, or your favorite movie… there is a 42” Plasma TV with premium cable, DVD/CD/VCR, and Bose surround sound for your viewing pleasure. Also, you will find a fantastic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, unique antique pieces, stunning art and photography, and locally harvested (45 miles south of Steamboat Valhalla on the Pinto Valley Ranch outside of Kremmling, 10/2003) Trophy Elk and Mule Deer racks giving Steamboat Valhalla that toasty, eclectic, almost “Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe” quality. Over-sized leather couches, a barn door coffee table, and other distinctively rustic furniture further complement the collection. With the second floor vantage, you really appreciate the fantastic, unobstructed wall-to-wall and floor to 14’ ceiling views of 10,384’ Sunshine Peak, the Sunshine Lift line, and Tomahawk ski run. Up and to the left you can see the Gondola station up at Thunderhead Lodge (9,080’). The deck just outside shares the same view and has a gourmet gas grill, full Brookstone Grilling Kit (Spatula, Tongs, Knife, Fork, Sauce Brush, Skewers, etc.) for the professional Bar-B-Quer, and the Steamboat Valhalla branding iron for that perfect finishing touch on “Steak Night” at the SV. Also, one of the Master Suites is on this floor… As you walk in, you are greeted with gorgeous views of the southern Yampa Valley, a custom king-size, storybook Aspen log bed with a warm and fluffy comforter and Ultraluxe soft pillows. The handcrafted Aspen log beds in Steamboat Valhalla were custom built by Reggie Treese, a most excellent craftsman, world class fly-fishing guide, and all around great guy in Thermopolis, Wyoming. The bath is exquisitely finished in travertine including the oversize steam shower with sit down bench, a bathtub for those Calgon moments, and his and her sinks and closets. Of course, a DVD/CD/VCR player and 30” TV make this a perfect spot to “get away” for a respite. Copyright © 2003 Steamboat Valhalla Inc. All rights reserved.
