Bryce Resort Renovation – Project Update

Oct 24, 2025

I had the pleasure of visiting this home renovation at Bryce Resort a few weeks ago. This project turned out amazing. When we arrived it was a straight-forward vacation cottage used for weekend getaways. The goal was to create a home for a lifetime. Here is a before photo of the home as we are getting started with design.

We added a garage on the right side with a room above, and a multi-story addition on the left side. The result is a home with all the spaces needed for living their dream lives in this beautiful resort.

From the rear of the home you get a glimpse of all the exterior spaces that allow for maximum enjoyment of the views out over the lake.

The rear deck was a little narrow and was in need of a facelift. The open rail almost disappears and the deeper sitting area allows for flexible gatherings.

The once crowded space with an oversize fireplace and limited seating was opened up. The new space allows for seating, dining, and a large kitchen.

Downstairs once was dark and cramped and now has space for the ping pong table and seating for watching the big game.

The new screen porch on the main living floor has a bar looking out to the views.

What an amazing home renovation. The new home has everything they wanted in their lifetime house. We worked through their dreams, goals, and desires, hit their budget, and delivered an amazing design solution.
