Escape to Ripper's Retreat, your ultimate mountain chalet nestled in the heart of Bryce Resort! You'll have access to skiing, tubing, golf, mountain biking, pickleball, and dining just a short walk away. With breathtaking eastern views of the ski slopes and private airport, this chalet offers the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. The 53 step ascent leads to the chalet high up into the tree-tops for a surprisingly private view despite its central location. This view is worth every step!

Upon entering, you'll be welcomed by soaring A-frame cathedral ceilings and rustic whitewashed pine walls that create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The great room features expansive windows and sliding glass doors that open up to stunning mountain views. Watch skiers glide down the slopes, marvel at vibrant holiday fireworks displays, enjoy the enchanting midnight New Year's parade of torches, and witness the breathtaking fall foliage—all from the comfort of this cozy retreat. Fire up the gas log wood stove when the winter chill sets in.

Spend your evenings on the spacious deck and immerse yourself in the majesty of the night sky, where stargazing becomes a magical experience.

The open-concept kitchen has sleek cabinets, modern appliances, custom wood countertops, basic cookware, tableware, a basket-style drip coffee maker (filters provided, but please bring your favorite grind) and a Kuerig (K-cups provided). The kitchen blends into the living space, making it perfect for entertaining and staying engaged with family and friends during your getaway. The dining table seats four, plus four more at the kitchen bar. Additionally, the main floor features two cozy bedrooms with queen beds and a full bathroom conveniently located just off the kitchen. A private loft bedroom with queen bed includes its own half bath and a cozy desk with computer monitor and chair - perfect for remote work . A stackable washer/dryer is located in the main floor bathroom.

Two bedrooms have Smart TVs and the living room features a smart HDTV projector with retractable movie screen with surround-sound system - perfect for movie nights under the starry sky. Guests can log into their popular streaming apps via the Chalet's high-speed WiFi internet, which has plenty of bandwidth for working, streaming, and gaming.
