"The chalet was phenomenal and was even better than the photographs showed. Our grandkids never left the playroom and hot tub....Each bedroom was large, roomy and gorgeous. The main living room and Kitchen was perfect for our large family to socialize. The view of the sunsets on the large deck were breathtaking. It was difficult to leave this house, we didn't want the weekend to end.... " - Bob, March 2025
