Moonstone Cottage - Perched in the trees!

Moonstone Cottage is one of the coziest, most unique homes at Bryce Resort. Perched on a pedestal in the woods, Moonstone Cottage hovers in the trees. This comfortable home is located in a quiet corner of Bryce Resort, near the small town of Basye. This area has no through-traffic and very little light pollution - perfect for quiet walks along the primitive roads or deep into the surrounding wood, and slack-jawed stargazing. It's is 2.5 miles to Bryce Resort's main lodge, golf pro-shop, ski/bike lifts, and restaurant & bar, but much closer to the Basye Community Store, Smiley's Ice Cream & mini-golf, Rhouse restaurant (reservations required), Pale Fire Brewing, and Burn Barrel Tavern.

FEATURES & AMENITIES:
Moonstone Cottage is a two bedroom (one bedroom is a loft), one bathroom, home that's accessible by eight steps down from at the driveway. Its has two decks, one each on the main and basement levels. The main level deck conveniently hosts a gas grill just steps away from the kitchen and living room. Or enjoy the fire pit just steps up away from the main deck.

This unit has a traditional kitchen and eat-in dining area that seats four adjacent to the living room. The living room features a wood burning fireplace, new furnishings, a Smart TV, and a sweeping vaulted ceiling up to the loft level. A super-cool spiral staircase connects all three levels of the Cottage. The main-level bedroom includes a queen bed and convenient access to the downstairs full bathroom, which also contains a full-size washer & dryer in the linen closet. The loft bedroom includes a queen bed with vaulted ceilings. This home comfortably accommodates four.

Please review the listing photos carefully. This home is clean, well maintained, with mountain/rustic charm blended with modern amenities. It's the perfect weekend hideaway for couples, small friend groups and small families.

The kitchen includes basic cookware, tableware, appliances, and a basket-style drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind). The Cottage is also 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, three kitchen trash bags, one bath trash bag, one paper towel roll, one kitchen dish towel, one travel-size dish soap, one scrubby pad, and two laundry pods. We encourage guests who stay several nights, or who are heavy users of consumable supplies, to bring extra supplies or purchase them at the local Basye Community Store.

Firewood is provided from late fall through early spring stacked

The high-speed 50mbps WiFi internet is sufficient for working, streaming, and limited gaming.
