Traveling with a bigger group? Our other chalet is just down the street and sleeps 13 more, so you can book both for up to 29 guests.

"The chalet was phenomenal and was even better than the photographs showed. Our grandkids never left the playroom and hot tub....The view of the sunsets on the large deck was breathtaking. It was difficult to leave this house; we didn't want the weekend to end.... " - Bob
