WINTER MONTHS: Mountain roads can be extremely curvy and steep. Gravel drives are very well maintained; however, we highly recommend four wheel drive during the snow months.

Wonderful winter weekend

I have been skiing at Bryce annually for 40 years, and had previously always stayed in my family’s timeshare. We had enough family coming this year that my husband and I decided to split off from the group and rent this wonderful cabin for us and our two young kids. I am so glad we did! This cabin is so lovely, well maintained, and space is well utilized. It is so close to the ski resort, and was such an inviting place to come home to each evening.

This house was the relaxing place we needed after staying the night before in a noisy hotel. The area was really nice. The house was beautiful. The owner was great about getting back to me when I messaged them prior to booking. Really great experience!

The house was perfect for our weekend with family. There was so much natural light and the fireplace, with firewood provided, was really nice. We enjoyed Shenandoah Caverns, a hike around Laura Lake, and the Rt. 11 Chip Factory.

Relaxing Getaway

Enjoyed a relaxing 3 days on way home from Williamsburg. Place was great. Did a few road trips to wineries, caverns and plantations. Only thing that was disappointing was that we didn’t bring the golf clubs. Great looking golf course 1/2 mile down the road.

Special house on a special location

Loved staying at Jennifer’s house in the middle of the woods at Bryce Resort. So close to nature with deers and chipmunks around in the area. The house is spacious for a family of 5 with three teenage kids. All facilities where available to use and communicating with Jennifer was easy. Would highly recommend this house if you want to relax in the nature and explore this part of Virginia

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Mills

Host profile image
My husband and I purchased this home as a home away from home for our growing family. Every time we come out here, we automatically feel a sense of calm. The beauty of Bryce immediately relieves any stress you have and allows you to focus on family time and relaxation. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because it is so close to the resort, we could walk there in 3 minutes or take a 1 minute drive. The home has a huge deck which allows us to overlook the mountain and spend time outside enjoying the nature. We've had many get togethers with friends and family, always enjoying the scenery and company around us.

What makes this property unique

When we first bought the house, it was in it's original condition from the 1980's. We gutted the entire house and started from the ground up, making it the perfect cabin that we would want to visit if we were on vacation!

We head out to Bryce as much as we can to relax and unplug, and we hope you will do the same!
