Boot up. Clip in. Go. You'll be the envy of Bryce, skiing (or biking) from your front door.

With the five passes included with your reservation, you almost never have to stop at the resort's ticket window. Located directly on an easy ski run near the summit of the mountain, powder (in winter) and bike trails (in summer) are just a few steps away. At the end of the day, gather with the whole gang in the Great Room, unwind in the sauna, or watch the sun set from the comfort of the hot tub.

When you make a reservation at Adventure Awaits, you receive five complementary resort passes that provide guests free access for all lift fees (ski and bike), golf greens and golf cart, free admission to Lake Laura, free snow tubing and ice skating, and scenic chairlift rides. Not only is this a significant cost savings, but it spares guests the hassle of having to reserve passes in advance and pick them up from the resort on the day of arrival.

Guests will have access to the entire house and property.

The chalet has keyless, contact-free entry. There is no need to stop and pick up a key. When you arrive in the area, you can go straight to the chalet and unwind!

I will be available at all times while guests are in the chalet, although I try to keep regular business hours as much as possible for the sake of my family. If something needs attention, I will do my best to get it fixed as quickly as possible!

Bryce Resort and the town of Basye sit in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, with quaint towns galore, including nearby Mount Jackson, New Market, Edinburg, Woodstock, Strasburg, and Harrisonburg. Each of these is worth a visit in its own right, steeped in history and Americana charm.

The four-season resort offers tons of things to do year-round, including skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing in winter, mountain biking in the summer and the fall, an 18-hole PGA Championship golf course, water sports on Lake Laura, and a great frisbee golf course. All of these activities are at your fingertips at Adventure Awaits.

Nearby restaurants include:
- The Copper Kettle at Bryce Resort (2 minutes or walk)
- Freed's Biscuits in Basye (3 minutes)
- R House Wine and Cafe in Basye (3 minutes)
- Bean's BBQ in Edinburg (25 minutes)
- The Edinburg Mill Restaurant in Edinburg (25 minutes)
- Southern Kitchen in New Market (25 minutes)
- The Woodstock Cafe in Woodstock (30 minutes)
- Woodstock Brew House in Woodstock (30 minutes)

The Shenandoah Valley also has its fair share of wineries. Some nearby wineries include:
1. Cave Ridge Vineyard (15 minutes)
2. Wolf Gap Vineyard and Winery (20 minutes)
3. The Winery at Kindred Pointe (20 minutes)
4. M&R Vineyard (20 minutes)
5. Third Hill Winery (20 minutes)

You can do a plethora of things outdoors. Great hiking is everywhere. The Orkney Springs trailhead is right there in Basye and is a very respectable stretch of the legs. Also try the Wolf Gap recreation area across the state line in West Virginia for the popular Big Schloss trail, the George Washington National Forest in and around Fort Valley (for my money, the quiet Kennedy Peak trail is the best one around with a great payoff at the end), and, of course, the Shenandoah National Park with its numerous trailheads along the stunning Skyline Drive. I recommend Old Rag, although the very busy Hawksbill and Stony Man hikes are also worth doing.

If you are into spelunking, you are in luck. The Shenandoah Valley is home to some great cavern complexes, including the Skyline Caverns (your kids will love the mirror maze), Shenandoah Caverns, and the unforgettable Luray Caverns.

Head over to the Shenandoah River Outfitters in Luray if you some river fun is in your plans.

The chalet is on a regular, monthly pest control schedule, but sometimes unwanted bugs may venture inside. Basye is home to stink bugs, Asian beetles, and wood roaches, which view open windows and doors as an invitation, especially at the changing of the season. I recommend keeping windows and doors closed when not in use.

The great thing about being on the slopes at the top of the mountain is that you don't really need to use your vehicle to go anywhere. However, if you choose to see some sights in the Shenandoah Valley or decide to eat out one night, you will need to have reliable transportation. Note that the chalet is at the top of a fairly steep road and driveway which may become icy in winter, so a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended during the winter months.

Adventure Awaits is on a paved road that is regularly plowed during winter when there is snow on the ground. That said, the hills in Basye can be extremely steep and at certain times of the year, you may find that you need a good 4WD or AWD vehicle to make it up and down the roads. Moreover, the driveway is narrow due to the chalet's position near the top of the mountain. I highly recommend using a 4x4 if you are visiting in Winter.

Since the chalet sits at the top of a mountain, there are several flights of stairs both inside and outside the house. Those with mobility issues should take this into consideration.

Most of the amenities at Bryce Resort are available to guests at the resort using the complementary passes. It is worth noting, however, that these do not include the resort pool, which is open seasonally, but is only available to resort members.

Check in is at 4:00 pm and check out is at 10:00. These times are fixed. The cleaners keep a very tight schedule and make their plans around this six hour window. Out of respect to them, I cannot make exceptions to these times.

Please also note that as a small business, I am not able to grant last-minute refunds, so I highly recommend protecting your investment with travel insurance.

So why book this property?

Location. Steps from the ski run. A true ski-in/ski-out location. Views to die for from the comfort of the hot tub. Close to wineries, breweries, distilleries, hiking, caverns, quaint towns, and the best that the Shenandoah Valley has to offer.

Layout. Five spacious bedrooms, 4,000 square feet, two living rooms, awesome amenities, ample table seating for large groups, a great room that is wonderful for gatherings and movie nights and a game room with plenty of entertainment options for stay-at-home fun.

Love. My family has put some of our heart and soul into the chalet, renovating and restoring it. It is a labor of love and we hope all the hard work has paid off. The chalet remains a work in progress, but we love sharing the enjoyment of it with others. We promise to do our best to make your stay there special.

Unique benefits:

When you stay with us, you will be supporting a woman-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned small business.

We are proud of our commitment to always pay cleaners and other workers a living wage.

Perfect Stay
Our family absolutely loved our stay at ‘Adventure Awaits.’ Dolly was so accommodating and kind to us which made our trip even more enjoyable. We loved the virtual guidebook that was provided, and we especially appreciated the local recommendations on things to do and places to eat. Two of the highlights of our trip were golfing at the resort and visiting Lake Laura - two perks that would make us come back! We highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking to visit the area, and hope to be back soon!

Everything about the stay was excellent! Dolly was an exceptional host and the place and location are amazing. Just as advertised. The home worked out great for our group of 12. As a Veteran, I love that the place is Veteran owned and supporting fellow Veterans is an added bonus. Thank you Dolly for allowing us to stay! Your attention to detail and the work you have put into the place is very much appreciated.

Recommend Staying at Adventure Awaits
We had a great time at Adventure Awaits. It is a great location on the green Redeye slope and now that we have experienced a ski-in ski-out location, we cannot imagine staying anywhere else. While skiing by we were able to stop at the house for drinks (we put a cooler in the woods by the house) and met for a lunch break. Dolly was super responsive before, during and after our stay. The five house passes we great and allowed us to book over $800 in snow tubing and ice skating over our three day visit by calling Nan at the resort. Snow tubing and skiing were excellent. The house, kitchen amenities, rooms, game room, hot tub were all clean and great and as described. The pillows were really nice too. The Adventure Awaits house guide provided by Dolly included all the info we needed on the house to maximize our stay. Thanks Dolly!!

Christmas with the family
Overall very nice stay. My oldest son and wife particularly liked the layout of the house. There were a couple of minor issues that the cleaner forgot but it wasn’t enough to hinder our vacation in any way. The location is literally right on the slopes. Sooooo perfect. The lady that was handling the snow tubing at Bryce was full of wrong information and was not friendly but we didn’t let that ruin our fun either. The property owner/manager is very nice and quick to respond with questions.

Adventure in Bayse!
We had a great stay here! The house was clean, well-stocked, and spacious for a group of 5 adults and 5 kids. The hot tub was a hit and the kids adored the ‘arcade basement.’ The included passes to nearby Bryce Resort were perfect for golf (plus other resort activities!) which really sweetened the overall value of our stay. We highly recommend this VRBO!

Fun at Bryce
First of all, Dolly is a very compassionate person. We had to leave a different house that was not as advertised/up to standard and she and her beautiful house saved my family's mini-vacation at Bryce. She even let us get into the house earlier than the normal check in time in light of our situation. The house was perfect for a multi-generational family get-together. We had cousins downstairs, siblings and spouses on the main level, and grandparents staying in the suite upstairs. There was no shortage of things to do in the house or outside. All in all, the house was awesome and the resort passes were a huge plus. We all highly recommend this house and would love to return.

Perfect Summer Escape!
I loved staying here in ski season two years ago, so we decided to try it for a summer getaway and it did not disappoint! I loved seeing all the upgrades that Dolly and her husband have continued to make both inside and out since we were last here. They clearly are putting money back into the house and really care about the experience of people staying there. They have great local recommendations for most things - just ask! It was immaculately clean and the location was AWESOME. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for giving us a great stay again, Dolly!

Looked/felt like a Frat House
Positives: Home was large/sufficient for our group. Kitchen knives were sharp, thank you. Excellent coffee machine. Advice for future occupants to consider or be notified: STAIRS; lots and lots of stairs. Issue for those of us in advanced age/health. House layout wasn't what I would have liked - I'll take the fault for that. Showers were (approximately) 24x24" cubes.

Terrific summer getaway
A great place to spend 3 days with friends and family (7 adults, 7 kids from 3yo to 16yo). No only the chalet has everything for cooking, having fun, etc. it also has fantastic location - bike trails and ski slopes (right there, when you step off the deck), 8min drive to lake Laura (a beautiful, quiet place with tons of water activities, entry is free with with guest passes provided by the hosts), cool trails around the lake. Kids loved the game room - air hockey, arcade, fooseball. Brendan and Dolly are excellent hosts, very responsive - gave excellent advice on the area, where to eat, swim, hike. Looking forward to coming to Basye!

Memorial Day 2023 Family Vacay
For some reason, maybe the mountains, our cell phone reception was poor. Consequently, our GPS did not work properly, so it was hard to find the exact address for the property. The owner should be aware of this and give detailed instructions on how to find the property. Also, upon our arrival we found several household items that needed repairs and/or maintenance upgrades (ie: window screens torn or missing, electrical outlets near sinks not GFI, porch wooden slats broken or loose, molding around shower discolored looks like mold, hot tub very cloudy/green looking). Other than those items, it was a very pleasant stay.

We had a great relaxed time during our stay. The house is huge for our family of 6 + 1kid and an infant. Since it is off season most restaurants are on limited time/days. We didn't mide staying in the home and watch a few skiers pass by, we got to enjoy all the amenities of this well kept home. Would come back again maybe during peak season to enjoy the bryce resort that comes with the package even more.. Dolly was always very accommodating and made sure we enjoy our stay.
