The Flat Downtown- The Green Street Micro Village

I built “The Flat” in 2022 with a French modern feel, & had luxury & class in mind so you can immerse yourself in style and comfort. You will be just a 2-4 minute stroll from the German bakery, Thai or Mediterranean food. Enjoy all that the Village has to offer and then return in the evening to relax and recharge in a warm spa against the back drop of a crisp mountain sky. "This place was absolutely stunning and cute! It is literally the most walkable location" - Johnny
