Moonshine Mountain is a modern mountain chalet built in the traditional style. The great room's wood cathedral ceiling, wall of windows and large deck invites the outdoors inside for a feeling of tree house living. Enjoy the hot tub on the lower screened-in patio! Please note that access to this chalet includes 10 steps up to entry level from the driveway. Located within the Bryce Resort mountain community, it's a short 2.5 mile drive to the Resort's main lodge and ski/bike lifts, and a 4 mile drive to the Basye Community Store.
Please review the listing photos carefully. This chalet is well-appointed with modern conveniences and features with plenty of room to spread out. It's a perfect home for one or two vacationing families and groups of friends that value tranquility while still being close to the Resort's many activities.
