The owners desired a dreamy retreat in the Cascade Mountains where they could warmly welcome their loved ones. They longed for a family-friendly home that exudes hospitality and warmth. With the bedrooms and bathrooms thoughtfully designed based on the family’s travel experiences, each space pays homage to their shared love for mountain climbing.

As a testament to their adventures, the designer went the extra mile by crafting bespoke signage for each door, proudly displaying names like “The Highlands,” “Kilimanjaro,” and “Patagonia.”
