Basye Retreat: 3 Bedroom Short Term Rental in Basye VA

Basye Retreat is a well-maintained 100% timber log cabin on a private wooded lot at the end of a long driveway -- perched high above Straton Way and less than one mile from Bryce Resort&#39;s main lodge. &nbsp; Enjoy the outdoors on the cozy private side deck with fire pit, gas grill, rope lights and comfortable seating.&nbsp; The main room&#39;s huge glass windows marry the cabin&#39;s rustic interior with the natural world outside.&nbsp; Access the cabin&#39;s front deck and main entry door via 15 steps up from the generous parking area. Located within the Bryce Resort community, this cabin is about .75 miles from the Resort&rsquo;s main lodge and ski/bike lifts, and about 2.5 miles to Lake Laura, Smiley&#39;s Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, and the Basye Community Store.<br />

FEATURES &amp; AMENITIES:<br />
Unlike most modern rental properties, this cabin is authentically cozy, inviting, and practical. The living room is the heart of the home, with timber walls, a wood stove, and just the right space for a sofa, a few chairs and wall-mounted Smart TV. The original knotty-pine floors creak underfoot, adding to the charm, and the air carries the faint scent of pine.&nbsp; Both massive windows in the living area slide open to let the outside in!&nbsp;&nbsp;The cabin&#39;s all-wood main level also includes a dining area that seats six adjacent to a spacious kitchen &amp; island.&nbsp; Two large skylights brighten the kitchen and dining room during the day while a variety of lights and lamps cast a warm glow that enhance the authentic log cabin experience! The kitchen has custom-built wood cabinets that complement the log cabin&#39;s natural beauty and includes basic appliances, cookware, tableware, a drip coffee maker and a Keurig coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your own favorite grind or K-cups).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Basye Retreat features a spacious king bedroom off the kitchen (with privacy curtain), one bedroom with a queen bed and another bedroom with full and twin beds.&nbsp; The full bathroom includes a sauna while the half-bath is conveniently located near the two bedrooms. Adjacent to the full bathroom is a laundry room with full size washer &amp; dryer.&nbsp; Access to the side deck is via a door in the full bathroom or the stairs accessible from the front of the property.&nbsp; Sleeps six comfortably, with capacity up to seven.<br />
