Working from the top level down, here is the layout for the Blue Eagle Lodge:

The Top Level - also the "main level," features an open floor plan with vaulted tongue-in-groove ceilings and exposed beams. The primary Kitchen, freshly-renovated, has granite countertops, high-end stainless appliances, plenty of cabinet and countertop space for storage and preparing meals for large groups. There are 5 bar stool seats at the kitchen peninsula bar top. Adjacent to that is the open dining area with a custom-crafted banquet-style dining table which seats 13 guests. Including the adjacent bar stool seats, Blue Eagle can dine up to 18 people together. The Living Room features a stone gas log fireplace, a large HD Smart TV, and comfy leather furniture. The open-air rear deck offers a gas grill, outdoor dining table, Adirondack-style seating, and seasonal winter mountain views. Wall-to-wall oversized windows and glass doors allow sunlight to flood into the main Living and Dining areas as well as the Kitchen. A King bedroom suite with HD Smart TV and full ensuite bathroom with a tub and shower completes this level.

The Second Level - One down from the Top Level offers two bedroom suites, each with a HD Smart TV and a full ensuite bathroom. The primary master suite boasts a comfy King bed, sitting area, walk-in closet, and private covered deck. The ensuite master bathroom has a large jetted soaking tub, a spa-like shower with tile and frameless glass, and a long granite vanity countertop with "his & hers" double sinks. The second bedroom suite features a large bedroom with a King bed and a Queen-over-Queen bunk bed. Its ensuite bathroom offers a tub and shower combo.

The Third Level - One floor below the "master suite" level, this level has been reinvented and renovated to create a fun setup with more value and use for vacationing guests. On this level, the King bedroom suite has a gas log fireplace, HD Smart TV, and a convertible sleeper chair that offers a single flexible sleeping option. Customized track-style reclaimed doors offer privacy. There is a "Jack & Jill" full bathroom (brand new as of late 2021). This bathroom is accessed directly from the bedroom at one end, and from the Den on the other end, and features a large shower with frameless glass. Finally, the large Den (formerly an oversized two-car garage) offers tons of space to spread out toys and games for children and teens, a customized bar with a sink, fridge/freezer, microwave, coffee maker, and more. Comfy yet durable "indoor/outdoor" furniture including a full-sized Futon sleeper completes the new Den! A customized roll-up garage-style door made entirely of glass panels that can be opened for guests to enjoy the indoor Den, and outdoor Patio space together. The Den and patio were thoughtfully-designed to be used separately and together. The patio features a wood-burning chiminea-style fire feature, numerous Adirondack-style rocking armchairs, and the new Hot Tub (added in 2022). Exterior steps lead down to the backyard, and a walkway to the free-standing deck nestled down in the backyard. It also features a wood-burning outdoor chiminea fireplace, as well as bench-style seating.

The Fourth Level - The "bottom level" is essentially split in half, offering two large rooms with a "step-up and step-down" open threshold between. On the near side, there is a Theater room with a total of 9 reclining leather theater-style armchairs, a giant HD Smart Screen, and room for more guests to pile in and enjoy a good movie! On the far side, there is a "speakeasy-style" game room with an 8-foot slate pool table, and a pub-style table with bar stool seats.  

The Blue Eagle Lodge offers complete climate control in all four suites, with individually-controlled thermostats which provide heat and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The upper-level living/dining/kitchen area also has separate thermostat control. All 6 of the HDTVs are Smart TVs with the capability to provide access to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and many other platforms that guests can use as long as they have appropriate subscriptions.
