As you arrive at Ham’s Haus, you’re greeted by the welcoming ambiance of a modern Scandinavian-style shipping container. The exterior, adorned with wooden accents and a charming front porch (with a ski lift designed porch swing), exudes warmth and hospitality from the moment you set foot on the property. Surrounded by towering pines and the tranquil sounds of nature, you immediately feel a sense of peace and relaxation wash over you.

Stepping inside, you’re enveloped in the cozy embrace of a well-appointed interior.
