Great ski Chalet

Great ski chalet located on the property of Crystal Mountain. My 12 year-old son was able to put on his skis and took about five minutes to ski down the road to the buck chairlift at Crystal Mountain. Longer to enjoy the house in the mountain and the crystal village.

Great locations and amenities

Visited Crystal Mountain for a Bike Race. The location of the property was great and was an easy walk to the venue. Inside the properly everything was perfect. Kitchen was great and had everything we needed to ensure that our stay was excellent. Having a room with 2 beds worked out perfectly for one of the families that joined. Even took advantage of the Grill. Definitely would recommend.
