Mount Olive Lodge is a renovated two-story cabin perched on the side of Bryce Mountain with spectacular wintertime (and partial summertime) views of Great North Mountain. Enjoy the outdoors on two stacked 1/2 wrap-around decks! The open upper floor's huge windows and doors show off nature's glory everywhere you look. Access to the cabin includes 14 steps up to the entry door from the driveway. Located within Bryce Resort, this cabin is about 0.7 miles from the Resort's main lodge and ski/bike lifts, and a 2.4 mile drive to Lake Laura, Smiley's Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, and the Basye Community Store.
Please review the listing photos carefully. This classic camp cabin was recently fully renovated with the modern finishes, appliances, and amenities of a new home. It's perfect for families and small groups looking for a high-end home in a quiet location where nature provides both serenity and entertainment.
