The Neighborhood:
Quiet neighborhood. Very common to see deer and other wildlife walking through the woods surrounding the house.
Getting Around:
This chalet is one mile door to door to the ski lodge. Walkable, however there are no street lights if walking at night. Recommend 4WD if there has been recent snow. The roads are plowed by the resort, but due to some of the hilly terrain in the area, 4WD can be handy. Chalet is approximately 1.2miles to Lake Laura.
There is a grocery store (Food Lion) in Mt. Jackson by Interstate 81, which is about 15-20min from the resort. Once in Basye, there is local convenience store/gas station that has a small selection of a bit of everything (basic grocery items, drinks, frozen pizzas, toiletries, etc). The resort has a restaurant in the Lodge and there is another diner style restaurant, the Hot Plate, on the right when you pass the convenience store on your way towards Orkney Springs.
Other Things to Note:
Parking - Gravel circular driveway at the house. 3-4 cars can fit without a problem.

Clean, well appointed and lovely view, this mountain home with Theresa bedrooms was great rental
Hidden little gem, love going here.
My family and I stayed for the weekend. We brought our dog. The check in at 1:00pm was nice so we had extra time to spend at the chalet. We enjoyed the quietness and peacefulness. The extra touches were nice and cozy. Restaurants and a food lion not too far We highly recommend!
We stayed at the property to attend a destination wedding being held at Bryce Resort. It was a lovely cabin and a perfect location. Very close to the venue and to golf at the resort. The cabin was clean, cozy and comfortable. It had everything we needed. Definitely recommend!
Adorable cabin with easy access to Bryce Resort! We loved our stay.
Beautiful little cabin, we have stayed here multiple times and will keep coming back. Wonderful. Highly recommend ?
This will always be my favorite place to stay. I love the peace that this place gives.
Beautiful little gem of a cottage, we have stayed there multiple times and love it every time. Hosts are also always a pleasure to deal with
Quiet, clean, well-stocked
This was our second stay at Sara's house and we had just as a good experience as we did the first time. The house is a perfect size for our family of 5 and Sara was very flexible with check-in/check-out and our request for our pup to come. She was very responsive. The property is located in Bryce Resort and was just a quick ride to and from. Perfect for anytime stay.
This place was clean, updated and cute. We really enjoyed the stay!
My family and I had such a great stay at the cabin, everything was clean and tidy and it was so easy to communicate with the owner. We loved how the cabin felt so tucked away in the woods but close to grocery stores and activities.
If you are looking for a quiet place in the woods this is your place. Lots of hiking places to visit. For leisure bike ride, go to the Seven Bends State Park. If you do mountain biking, then head to the Bryce Resort. For a relaxing time, good food and a great beer go to Swover Creek Farms Brewery. We enjoyed this house with all the amenities and confort. We recommend this property.
Wonderful little cottage. Perfect for a getaway from city life. Look forward to returning in the future
Loved the cabin!! Beautiful home, nice surroundings, great host! Highly recommend
Was a perfect place for us (5) to stay. The house was clean and well appointed. TVs worked great in guest mode. The setting was nice and sitting on the back porch in the mornings and evenings was great. The kitchen had everything needed (I would add a dish rack but that is pretty picky!). We stayed for six days and did a lot in the area but going back to the house was always nice. Thanks!
Based on prior 5 star reviews, our family was excited to spend the weekend at this property. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was the coco and rubber mat at the entrance of the deck that was completely rotten and should have been removed/replaced a few years ago. Opened the door of the cottage, and an overwhelming odor was immediately noticed. Best I can describe it is that it smelled like someone cooked 5lbs of bacon in the kitchen half an hour before we arrived. Immediately started opening windows, and the sliding glass doors. The glass doors were extremely difficult to open - the tracks were filthy, and one screen door was propped up against the outside of the house. My husband was able to at least get the screen door back on its track, but it was unusable. Went upstairs to the master bedroom, and thankfully the beds weren't made, otherwise I wouldn't have seen how disgusting a few of the bed pillows were. They need to be tossed with the outdoor mat! Luckily, the downstairs queen bed had some decent pillows in pillow shams, so I swapped them out. Bath mats in master bath either weren't laundered in some time, or they too were past their life cycle. There was one towel in the upstairs bath, so I went downstairs to look for additional towels. There are 6 bath towels in the entire house, and zero hand towels. There was a metal spring imbedded in the 'bath mat' in the downstairs bathroom (it was a indoor entrance mat) and it had debris on it as well. The hosts must allow dogs, because the living room rug has a few urine stains on it. The sofa frame was broken, and the cushions were stained. Kitchen has everything needed for cooking. Made eggs Sunday morning, and found salt in the cabinet above the stove. Also found crumbs and sticky cooking oil on the shelf. It was so gross I pulled everything out of the cabinet and scrubbed it down because I was certain no one else was ever going to do it. Also swept up a plethora of fallen catkins off the deck. Oh -that cooked bacon smell - it never went away! Lighting matches didnt even help. Whoever is being paid to clean this place needs to be fired. The house is in a lovely location, and with minimal effort (along with replacing some items) it could really be a 5 star destination.
Beautiful spacious cottage. We had a wonderful time there and look forward to returning in the future. Highly Recommend!
Stayed for two weeks from 23rd April and really enjoyed both the chalet and the area around Basye. This home is well equipped with all the items you need for your stay. Full of light through large windows it was a pleasure watching the birds in the mornings. The attention to detail here is worthy of note.
