Welcome to Sage House

Tucked among the pines in Lakemont Pines, Sage House is a thoughtfully designed mountain retreat that blends cozy cabin warmth with elevated, design-forward details. Backing up to national forest with trail access and just a short walk to Tanner Lake, this peaceful getaway is designed for slow mornings, outdoor adventures, and evenings gathered on the porch under the trees.

The home comfortably sleeps 8 guests across three bedrooms, with additional flexible sleeping options for kids or larger families.

Please note: Occupancy is limited to a maximum of 8 guests. Any violation of this policy will result in a fine.

The reservation includes up to 6 guests. Any additional guests beyond 6 will be charged $40 per guest.

Inside the Home

Step inside to vaulted wood ceilings, skylights, and warm layered textures that make the space feel both elevated and inviting. Large windows pour natural light through the open-concept living area, where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow easily into one another while still feeling warm and intimate.

The fully stocked kitchen is ready for cooking and gathering, with coffee options for both drip and pod lovers and a small walk-in pantry for longer stays. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 8, with additional nearby seating to accommodate 10. Outside, the covered porch dining area seats 6 and overlooks the trees.

Sage House also offers several cozy spaces to spread out and recharge. Take a work call from the sunny laundry room workspace overlooking the trees, head down to the partially finished game lounge while others sleep upstairs, enjoy coffee on the covered porch, or slip outside to the yard and surrounding pines for a quieter moment. The layout works especially well for families and groups who want to spend time together without feeling crowded.
