Private Dome House on River, Minutes from Ski Hill

Beautiful dome house on the Salmo river.

Return from a long day of skiing to warm up in the wood fired cast iron tub by the river or enjoy the six person electric hot tub with lounger and watch the Salmo river flow by. Or dry off by the woodstove and watch a movie on the 4K 100” projector
