The Elegant Lodge

Rooted in warmth and refinement, The Elegant Lodge embodies a perfect balance of comfort and sophistication. Designed for an executive homeowner who loves to entertain, the residence captures the essence of a modern mountain retreat—cozy, textural, and effortlessly elevated. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a dramatic stone fireplace anchor the great room, while natural materials like rich wood, polished and leathered stone, buttery leather, and aged iron create a sense of rustic luxury throughout.

Every detail was thoughtfully crafted to bring people together, from the entertainer’s kitchen with its hidden butler’s pantry to the inviting dining and family rooms designed for gathering. The primary suite offers a private escape, complete with a custom faux-painted wall reminiscent of a tree trunk cross-section—an award-winning artistic feature that adds organic depth. The spa-inspired bath continues this story of texture and tranquility with a stone soaking tub, alabaster chandeliers, and tactile finishes.

Across every space, Michelle’s design seamlessly unites natural beauty with modern elegance, creating a home that feels both grounded and inspiring—a true “warm hug” that reflects the heart and lifestyle of its owner.
