My wife, our 3-month-old son, and I had the most wonderful stay at the Hygge Chalet. It was exactly the peaceful, cozy, soul-refreshing getaway we needed. Tucked away among the trees, the chalet truly embraces the spirit of hygge: warm, welcoming, and filled with simple pleasures.
Every morning, we took our time grinding fresh coffee beans and making pour-over coffee, savoring slow breakfasts out on the deck surrounded by fresh mountain air. The weather was perfect — sunny and crisp. Most nights, we made hot cocoa with marshmallows or tea, got cozy under blankets in the living room amidst soft candlelight and warm, inviting lighting, and played board games by the fire while our son happily rolled around on his play mat. It was such a pleasing and comforting environment for us — exactly what we were hoping for.
The owners thought of everything to make traveling with a baby easier: they even provided a pack 'n play, saving us the hassle of packing extra gear. Thoughtful touches like that made all the difference.
We enjoyed amazing meals grilled on the outdoor barbecue and had most dinners on the deck, soaking in the peaceful sounds of nature. We went on a beautiful hike nearby, spotted wild turkeys roaming by, and spent time unwinding in the private sauna — the perfect way to end the day. Sitting in the hot sauna and cooling off in the crisp mountain air under the stars was a true highlight.
The chalet is stocked with books, games, and cozy nooks that invite you to slow down, reconnect, and savor the little things. Everything was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and lovingly maintained.
This trip gave us so many sweet memories as a family, and we left feeling rested, reconnected, and full of gratitude. I cannot recommend the Hygge Chalet enough if you're looking for a quiet, cozy, soul-nourishing retreat in the mountains. We'll definitely be back!
