Whimsical Cabin: Secret Room, Pizza & HOT TUB

Welcome to Lanternwood Lodge – Where Memories Glow

Step into a storybook adventure in the heart of Bryce Resort, where four woodland friends—Oaklee the Owl, Bramble the Bear, Harry the Buck, and Thistle the Rabbit—have created a magical place for families to reconnect, laugh, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
Search for Thistle's Secret Room, discover hidden surprises throughout the lodge, challenge your family to air hockey, gather around the outdoor pizza oven to create your own homemade pizzas (complete with a complimentary pizza crust kit!), or relax under the stars in the 7-person hot tub and two-person infrared sauna.
Every detail of Lanternwood Lodge has been thoughtfully designed to spark imagination, encourage togetherness, and give your family a vacation your children will talk about for years to come.

The Space
Lanternwood Lodge is a spacious mountain retreat featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1 half bath, comfortably sleeping up to 8 guests with one king bed, one queen bed, and six twin beds available for use.
Outside, gather around the Solo Stove fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs for evenings filled with stories, laughter, and s'mores. Relax on the front porch, where convertible benches transform into outdoor dining tables—the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while listening to the sounds of the forest.
Inside, you'll find an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area surrounded by walls of windows that fill the home with natural light and beautiful woodland views. The dining table comfortably seats ten, with an additional game table for four stocked with puzzles and board games.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare family meals, including a spacious island perfect for pizza-making, cookware, pizza pans, a Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, blender, toaster, crockpot, dishwasher, microwave, and full-size refrigerator with filtered water and ice.
The cozy living room invites everyone to gather around the double-sided gas fireplace for movie nights, games, or simply relaxing beneath a warm blanket.

The Lantern Suite
The primary suite offers a king-size bed, oversized loveseat, walk-in closet, and private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and a two-person infrared sauna. Step directly onto the deck from your private entrance for a late-night soak beneath the stars.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This cabin is the perfect place for families to gather, relax, and have fun while experiencing nearby attractions. Everything is spotlessly clean, impeccably decorated, and done with thoughtfulness and planning to create an inviting atmosphere. We visited with my daughter's family so there were 4 adults and 2 kids and the space worked well for our group. The kids loved the whimsical decor and the hidden room and puzzles. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing meals, and we used the outdoor pizza oven for homemade pizzas and grilling vegetables. Everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. The jacuzzi tub was a breeze to use and very relaxing. One of our family members uses a wheelchair and we were able to make it work by going around the outside of the house to get to the lower level. There was a step up at both the front porch and lower level, but with portable ramps it was doable, so everyone was able to enjoy all parts of the house. It was an easy 40 minute drive to Luray Caverns which was out main planned activity. The rest of the time we just hung out together, played games, and enjoyed the beautiful mountain views and weather. Communication with Alex was always prompt and courteous and we would highly recommend this cabin for a family mountain getaway.
