Resort Reviews for Chalet High North

Stayed at one of the 2 story TH/condos. I LOVED it. Lots of privacy with bedroom upstairs and master bedroom in the basement - with jacuzzi. Kitchen and living room on main floor with deck overlooking the golf course - beautiful! Needed help getting electric fireplace started - maintenance was immediate! Floors by front door were creaky - joists needed maintenance. And locks were not as secure as I would have liked. But, had family over for dinner (they were staying at another timeshare) - and they loved the place, too!

Stayed in the two bedroom with loft. Decor was dated and worn. The kitchen linoleum peeling back, various lights were burned out, and remotes didnt work. The place smelled old and was not very clean. Worst of all, it had a mice problem that the front desk didnt seem too concerned about and offered us traps. Whoever paid that maintenance fee got ripped off. We ended our vacation 3 days early and opted to go somewhere else. I DO NOT recommend this place to anyone who wants to vacation in comfort. You are better off living in a pop up camper than going to this place.

The best thing that I can say about this place is that it is clean. It is in need of some major updates. The stove and the microwave were from the 80's. The stove was so old that you could barely read the markings on it. There was only one tv for a townhouse that sleeps 8. One VCR, no DVD player. That is unacceptable. The paneling on the walls needs to be removed and replaced with new paint,new carpet, blinds, nice pictures, etc. Need new furniture. There were no bathtubs. There is a gold mine here and nobody realizes it. The scenery is beautiful. The property needs to have indoor activities (bowling, movie theater) as well as outdoor activities. More things for small children, ie. playground.

Chalet High North is at Bryce Resort, Basye, Virginia, an ideal distance from Washington, DC for a convenient retreat. It is nestled in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, where the Parkway is convenient for scenic drives. There is a small airport at the resort, which also makes it convenient for people from neighboring states. We have owned it for twenty years and have used it many times for wonderful exchanges around the world. Only because of our age are we now considering letting it go.
