Charming and Cozy
This place was a wonderful space for our family of 5 to stay!! The interior was cozy and comfortable and the view was stunning, of course! Sitting on the porch or lounging in the hammock and enjoying the relaxed vibe was exactly what we needed. The location was great and close to shops and restaurants.
Our host was very helpful and we had no problems with communication.
The pool and sauna was a very nice treat!! We were definitely spoiled that week!

Perfect chalet
The chalet was exactly what we needed after a long trip abroad. The setting was serene and relaxing. Navigating by taxi and bus was no problem and the access to hiking trails is just what we were looking for.
The chalet has many steps and low ceilings that we were not prepared for but in the end added to the charm.
Christophe arranged for us to consult with the manager who was so completely accommodating and made our stay very easy.
This chalet was perfect for us! Thank you Christophe!

Everything about the booking process and the accommodation was simply excellent. Myself and my family, a group of seven were very happy in the chalet for a winter ski break. Full of character, the chalet is warm and comfortable. We had the feeling of staying in an adult tree house, its a wonderful restoration of a 1000 year old structure.
We enjoyed six separate bedrooms, which gave everyone personal space, whilst still being together. The beds and bedding were all comfortable with high quality linen and mattresses. The bathroom facilities modern and spotless.
We loved the lounge with its open fire place and large group sofa. This was perfect for socialising, playing cards and the general apres ski.
The kitchen had everything we needed. The fridge is large, oven and dishwasher efficient. The dining table a good six for 8-10 people.
The pool and sauna were super. The pool is a resistance swim spa, with opportunity to work out and relax at the push of a button. The sauna a lovely way to relax and sooth the muscles.
We had a car and found that useful, however there are good bus and train connections some 15-20 minutes walk away, which we also used to go into Chamonix. Taxis were around 50 euros also. The chalet location was best for us, as we were looking for a luxury, special base, outside of the main town, yet within easy reach of all the villages and slopes we wanted to visit. I'm pretty sure the group used every gondola in the valley during the week searching for good snow.
Christophe is a please to communicate with, he's a wonderful host, nothing is too much trouble, he also understands that most people want privacy whilst staying in the chalet therefore communication is on the phone or by WhatsApp, unless agreed otherwise.
Nothing will beat waking up each morning and seeing the sunrise reflecting on the mountain. So very special !

UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL
It is a delightful chalet and a real home that is let, rather than just a rental property. Lots of character. The description is accurate, everything was beautifully clean.
It is located outside the town but, relatively close to a bus stop. We have been to Les Houches before so, knew what we were doing. We did not have a car and in the ski season, you could only get up to the house with a car with chains on. We paid and left our skis and boots in a locker, without a car, it would have been exhausting to drag your skis and boots up and down. To go out for dinner, it cost us Euros 35 each way to get a taxi.
Only issues we had with this property was that my husband is over 6 ft and kept banging his head on the low ceilings. No wardrobes in the majority of the bedrooms so, we had no where to hang our clothes.
Otherwise, everything was lovely.

Très bon emplacement
Le réel atout de ce chalet est l’emplacement. Attention aux personnes à mobilité réduite, pas du tout adapté. Dommage que le ménage ne soit pas à la hauteur d’une location à un tel prix. En résumé, le rapport qualité prix est défavorable pour une location d’été.

Séjour inoubliable
Le chalet est juste magnifique ! Ancienne ferme renovee avec gout située dans un cadre idylique. A noter : le chalet est sur 3 niveaux et les escaliers ne sont pas adaptes a de jeunes enfants. Le chalet se situe au bout d'une allee ce qui lui confere un cadre paisible. Cependant, l annonce ne precise pas que le cabinet d osteopathie du proprietaire se situe a l arriere. Tres bel emplacement situe au pied du Mont tacul avec une vue epoustouflante.
