The Space
• The chalet is situated on 1 acre in a quiet residential neighborhood on the “ski side” of town. It is comfortable for 8 guests (2400 sq. ft.). The house is surrounded by trees providing a secluded feel in summer/fall, and mountain views in winter.
• The spacious primary bedroom (King bed) is located on the first floor and includes a walk-in closet. This bedroom is connected to two bathrooms (jacuzzi tub bathroom & first floor bathroom with double sinks and shower)
• The second (queen bed) and third bedrooms (4 built-in bunk beds) are located on the 2nd floor. These bedrooms share a bathroom with double sinks and a shower.
• There is a queen size sleeper sofa located in the Great Room.
• On the first floor, there are two spacious living rooms, The Great Room and The Lodge Room.
• The Great Room is situated at the front of the house, and the perfect room for gathering with family and friends where you can dine at the 10 person wood table, enjoy a beverage at the wet bar, or lounge on the couches and watch the 50” smart TV.
• The Lodge Room is set off the kitchen and deck, and has a TV, seasonal fireplace, a table with stools for informal dining, and four comfy lounge chairs. This room provides a separate space to relax, play cards, and enjoy the winter mountain views or wooded summer views through the large glass doors.
PLEASE NOTE: our basement will be under renovation this winter! It won’t affect your stay at all, and no one will be on-site during your visit. You’ll still have access to the ski gear and clothing storage area with its own private entrance; the rest of the basement will simply be closed off during construction. We can’t wait to share the finished space next winter, complete with a ski-inspired living room and additional living space!
