About this property

Iconic Bug Eye House / Loads of Parking / 2 BDRM

If you are looking for a character home for your next getaway in the mountains, then our Bug Eye home should definitely be on your to-stay list! Set on 2.3 acres backing onto Crown land, surrounded by mountain views, yet conveniently located for easy access to Invermere, Panorama Ski Resort, and Lake Lillian.

In front of the property is an exceptionally large parking area. Perfect if you have trailers, snowmobiles, or oversized vehicles. To the right of the property are rocky steps up to the back garden. In the garden you will see the caretakers house, and the stunning mountain views. As you look back up to the house you will see one of the iconic bug-eyes.

The front of the property has a lovely front deck, with a couple of chairs. There are wonderful views from this location. As you walk into the property this area was the original bathroom, however, it's been converted into a lobby area.

MAIN ENTRANCE
As you enter Bug Eye house you are immediately impressed (or amused) at the architecture, building materials, and overall design. There is nothing boring about Bug Eye! To your left are some coat hooks, in front of you are the brick stairs, and to your right a hallway to the bathroom and laundry room, and an archway to the dining area and kitchen.

LIVING AREA
As you walk under the brick archway you get to immediately appreciate the quirky design of this wonderful home. To your left are some leather chairs and couch with the most amazing and unusual coffee table. There is a fireplace, but please do not use as we are waiting on a service engineer to check it over. To your right is the wooden dining table with ceiling fan over, and the kitchen.

KITCHEN
This stainless steal kitchen is such a surprise for the style of house. Within the kitchen you will see a decorative antique oven. Quite the sight! This is for display only, the working oven is to your right. There is a little draw under the kitchen counter where you will find all the utencils. There are also a couple of bar stools for extra seating. The kitchen comes fully equipped with all you could need to whip up a snack or hearty meal. There will be salt, pepper, cooking oil, and fresh coffee beans for your use. Don't worry, we supply a coffee grinder for those beans, you just need to bring your whitener of choice.

LAUNDRY AND SHOWER ROOM
Back into the hallway and through the gothic arched door you will find the laundry room with a stacked washer/dryer, and access to the beautiful shower room. The design choices reflect the quirkiness of this home perfectly, and the shower is huge! There will be hotel quality towels, and locally made hand soap and body wash/shampoo for you as well.

Please be careful when walking under the archways as the flooring types change, and consequently there is a change in flooring height. We don't want stubbed toes!

UPSTAIRS
There is a set of spectacular brick stairs leading up to the first floor. Up here you will find a couple of couches, large TV, and round the corner a king bedroom area, and a large separate dressing room. Back to the top of the stairs and to your right is the second, but separate queen bedroom. This room has a door for privacy. Both beds are dressed in high quality bed linens for that extra bit of comfort and luxury.

Within the upstairs lounge area is the front bug-eye window that over looks the front of the property, and out to the mountain ranges.

NOTE: due to the house being a log house there are flies. Please be assured that thorough cleaning does take place in between guest stays.
