The fireplace is visible from the double whirlpool, queen-size bed and sitting area. Linens are from France and Sweden and an array of Carl Larsson prints grace the walls. The bar sink, vanity and whirlpool surround are of bluestone marble from Sweden. The water closet is enclosed in its own private space.

This room also boasts a small electric fireplace. |

On winter nights, guests lying on the queen-size bed can easily imagine while gazing through the skylights that all the stars revolve just around Spirit Lake." |
