Why they chose this property
We are located next to Bryce Ski Resort (4 mins from the house), with mountain views in the winter, hiking trails close by, Shenandoah caverns, Cave Ridge vineyard, and coziness of the rancher cottage on a quiet level street - especially helpful driving during in the winter snow.
What makes this property unique
Stargazer Cottage is located on a quiet street. Bryce Ski Resort is literally in the backyard and a few minute's drive from the cottage. Get in a brisk early morning walk up to the top of the ski slope in 10- 12 minutes from the cottage.
The cottage faces the North mountains and you can get mountain views in the wintertime from the deck, bedroom and kitchen. Our plan is to thin out some of the trees so we can enjoy unobstructed views year-round from the deck.
Although surrounded by friendly neighbors, it is quiet and peaceful. We ask that you be mindful and respectful of the neighbors. On a clear night, you can sit out on the deck with the telescope (provided) and stargaze into the night. Kids and grownups alike will be delighted to see deer, and rabbits, and hear the woodpecker in the backyard.
Lake Laura is located a short 5-minute drive from the house. Spend the entire summer day lounging on the grassy beach while the kids swim and play in tranquil waters. You can also enjoy fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding or just floating with friends. You can hike around the lake, which is an easy 2.5-mile loop.
For the adventurous souls, Bryce Resort which is less than a five-minute drive from the cottage is open to skiing in the winter and mountain biking in the summertime.
