The Denali Dream Drive tour of the 2014 HGTV Dream Home

Can I tell you about my dream home? Well, it would be in a gorgeous natural location with an amazing view out the back door:

And maybe a beautiful body of water nearby to witness jaw dropping sunsets.

And the house would be wrapped in windows…

…so that every room brought the outside in.

And there would be a long granite covered island that could seat the entire US ski and snowboard team!

And the attention to detail would be unsurpassed. (Love those exposed beams and patterned carriage bolts.)

I definitely found my dream home and it is located near Lake Tahoe.

However, in order to get to this dream home 365 days of the year, you need a good vehicle. One with four wheel drive and enough horsepower to climb the snowy mountainous terrain.

And maybe some power seats that folded and lifted back up with the push of a button.

And just like the dream home, this SUV has attention to detail with stitched leather and beautiful wood accents:

Well how about if I take you inside for a special tour? Just you and me, okay. Try not to drool on the floors when your jaw drops.

I was fascinated by the eclectic mix of pendant lights over the dining room table.

Back into the main hallway is a small powder room.

I saved the best room for last. This is the guest bedroom. The guest bedroom truly charmed me the moment I walked in. It’s fairly small and cozy, but I don’t mind.

What it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with charm.
