Villa #102 is a traditional mountain chalet that overlooks the Bryce Resort golf course and Great North Mountain. Leaf cover in the summertime obscures the view, but wintertime views are wonderful. The great room's huge windows and deck will keep you close to nature. Please note that access to this mountainside chalet includes over thirty steps down to entry level from the parking area. Located within the Bryce Resort community, this chalet is about one mile from the Resort's main lodge and ski/bike lifts, and 2.5 miles from the Basye Community Store.
Please review the listing photos carefully. This chalet is clean and well maintained, but rustic. It's an affordable, comfortable retreat for a wide range of guests.

The open, spacious great room includes a dining room and living room with a wood-burning fireplace. Firewood is provided from late fall through early spring. The kitchen is conveniently located adjacent to the great room and includes basic cookware, tableware, appliances, and a basket-style drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind).

The finished basement includes a second living room, a game room with a futon, a bathroom with Jacuzzi tub and sauna, and laundry room. Sleeps 10.
The chalet is supplied with bedding (pillows, bedspreads, blankets), fresh bed linens, one towel set per max occupants, one travel-size bar soap per max occupants, two rolls toilet paper per bathroom, two dishwasher tabs, five trash bags, one bath trash bag per bathroom, one paper towel roll, one kitchen dish towel, one travel-size dish soap, and one scrubby pad. We encourage guests with large groups, or who are staying several nights, or who are heavy users of consumable supplies to bring extra supplies or purchase them at the local Basye Community Store.
The flat screen TVs include basic cable, and high-speed 50mbps WiFi internet is sufficient for working, streaming, and limited gaming. There's a DVD player for movie night and a wide selection of DVDs (free to borrow during your stay) at our Check-in Office.

In the summertime, guests have unlimited access to the Bryce Mountain Escapes pool at 2565 Orkney Grade. See pictures of our pool in the unit listing. It's open 9am-5pm, Monday through Saturday between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Bryce Resort's pool, Bryce Landing, is not open to the public.
For wintertime reservations: this property is located in a mountain ski resort community. Snow may make access to/from this property challenging. Virginia prioritizes clearing main roads serving the resort, but resort community roads and driveway conditions will be variable. We advise 4WD vehicles and discourage RWD vehicles. Skilled winter drivers in AWD and FWD vehicles with good tires may also negotiate community roads and driveways successfully. During ice storms, we recommend chains because no vehicles are suitable until road crews apply ice melt and cinder. Please monitor weather forecasts and NOAA storm warnings. Please consider purchasing travel insurance; we do not offer refunds for travel challenges caused by weather. However, when winter weather events may occur during your stay, please contact us about early check-ins, late check-outs, and extensions (if available). We waive ECI/LCO fees and offer discounted extra nights to encourage safe arrivals and departures.
