The Country Squire is a renovated unique mountain cabin perched atop Bryce Mountain on over 1/2 acres with spectacular views of Great North Mountain and a 1/4 mile walk to the top of the ski slopes. Enjoy the outdoors on the wrap-around deck and propane fire pit! The open main floor and huge windows show off nature's artwork everywhere you look. Access to the cabin includes one step up to the front deck and entry door from the driveway. Located within the Bryce Resort community, this cabin is about 1 mile from the Resort's main lodge and ski/bike lifts, and a 1.5 mile drive to Lake Laura, Smiley's Ice Cream, Burn Barrel tavern, Pale Fire Brewing, and the Basye Community Store.
Please review the listing photos carefully. This vintage cabin has been updated with modern appliances and amenities while preserving its rustic mountain charm. It's a perfect home for families and small groups looking for a quiet location where nature provides both serenity and entertainment.
