We enjoyed our stay - loved that everything was stocked. I thought I had brought everything we needed, and didn't even thing of making French Toast - and there it was Vanilla and Cinnamon! Family loved that I was able to make that for them. Kids have a blast in the game room - close to the slopes - very enjoyable!

Great Property, great stay

The house was amazing, there was so much for our party of 10 to have all the room we needed! The kids (and adults) loved the play room specifically the arcade machine. Alex and Christine were great at communicating with us and making our stay great. The proximity to Bryce Resort was a huge plus so we could go skiing. Would 100% recommend and we can't wait to visit again during the summer time.

Great comfortable place, great location

Really enjoyed this place. Was quiet and very roomy. Description and photos were accurate. Had a large group and never felt crowded. Two large living rooms allowed everyone to spread out. Also, nice easy drive down to the ski resort (5 min or less as long as didn't miss the turns) so made it really easy to get back and fourth. Would definitely stay here again.

OROS Retreat for the Win!

Alex and Christine’s mountain home is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The children were able to have fun in the game room while my wife and I relaxed upstairs. Beds and bathrooms were top notch and the open kitchen design was perfect for everyone. The restaurant-like seating was a huge hit for the kids! We would highly recommend their home if you are looking to spend some quality time in the Bryce Resort area.

Great Thanksgiving getaway

This was the perfect place for our family to stay during Thanksgiving! Coming from Florida, it was such a a wonderful experience to be surrounded by the beauty and serenity of Bryce Resort. The house was the perfect size for our group of 8; having bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs gave everyone enough personal space and the common areas were well equipped. Traveling with three small kids (ages 1, 3, and 5) is no easy task but OROS had everything we needed from kids utensils, to books, toys, and more. There was a wide variety of activities and experiences conveniently located that we all enjoyed. We will never forget our time here and highly recommend it to anyone considering a mountain getaway.

Weekend getaway

Very nice place with a well-stocked kitchen with appliances and plates. We had eight adults and we’re plenty comfortable in the large living space. Loved the screened porch and the outside space with a fire. Only negatives were the spider webs and the rats nest inside the grill cover (but it is, after all, in the woods) and the misunderstanding of the futon as part of the bunk bed and not a separate sleeping area.

Young Family of 5

Quiet, beautiful views, mountain air, wooded lot. Baby friendly (9 month old) with fun (wooded lot, game room and 2 TVs) for our 8 yo and 11 yo. Burgers and hotdogs on the grill and even built 2 camp fires for s'mores. Took a few walks along many of the rarely used streets - there are several available 2-mile loops for some moderate exercise.

Great location and very quiet.

We loved the house. It was perfect for our family and the gameroom was a big sucess. We were however a little dismayed that the house was not very clean when we got there. Whoever the owners have cleaning the home should know that the floors were dirty and there was dog hair on the furniture especially downstairs and under the beds. Also, there was only 2 wash cloths provided for a family of 8. Overall we loved our stay and hope stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Christine and Alex

Host profile image
We are a family that loves adventure and loves the mountains. If we could play at Bryce Resort all year long, we would. However, work, sports, activities and other things prevent us from being there as much as we would like, and so we wanted other families to experience the fun and joy of the house, Bryce Resort, and Shenandoah Valley. We completed gutted the place and finished the basement to make it comfortable for families to stay and play together. We want everyone to enjoy it as much as we do and we would love for you to be our guest.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Bryce resort area the first day we visited it. It is a little gem in the Shenandoah mountains. We love this particular property because it is only 1.5 miles from the resort, yet feels remote surrounded by woods. It is also on a flat piece of land with ample parking and easy access for the little ones and older ones. We also loved the lay out, there are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms which makes it comfortable for 2 families or various friends and then also has two open areas for together time. The kitchen area is open to the great room upstairs and the game room/family room is a great location to spend time together downstairs.

What makes this property unique

The layout makes easy access for both little ones and older ones. The family area on the ground level features a 65" Smart TV, sectional sofa, along with a Foosball table, old-school arcade with 60 game options, corn hole, and plenty of board games for families and friends to unwind and spend some fun time together.
