Twin Lakes travelers can set their sights on a new conquest at Tamarack Lodge & Resort, beginning this July. That's when the first LEED certified "Green Cabin" will debut, joining the resort's other 34 on-site cabins in an outdoor playland made for fly-fishing, hiking and biking.
According to Tamarack, the 1,336-square-foot, three-bedroom, two-bath cabin sets a precedent for environmentally friendly building practices in the area, offering stunning views of Twin Lakes. This, in addition to the resort's current eco-efforts like biodiesel-fueled fleet vehicles, recycling initiative and "Off the Grid" Energy Fest & Expo, slated for this summer.Eco-friendly elements of the first Green Cabin include:
- Environmentally preferable and/or extracted materials and resources
- Environmentally-friendly hardwood flooring, recycled carpeting and decking material
- Local masonry rock and pest resistant siding
- Recycled and local drywall
- Energy efficient windows, local concrete aggregates and recycled fiberglass insulation
- Compact hotwater distribution system
- Dual-flush toilets that average 33 percent less water thanstandard toilet
- Enhanced outdoor air ventilation provided by an air-to-air heat exchanger
- Nearby access to a free shuttle
Sound like a place you'd like to stay? Hopefully so, as this project will lead the way toward the redevelopment of the Eagle Lodge in 2010. Get the deets at http://www.mammothmountain.com/.
