Dirty
We had made a reservation for New Year's, eagerly anticipating a wonderful stay. However, upon our arrival, we were greeted with disappointment. The state of the house was far from satisfactory, as it was evident that the cleaning had not been done properly. To our dismay, the cabinets were filled with opened leftovers from the previous guest, leaving us feeling uneasy about the cleanliness of the entire property. The carpets, too, were littered with dirt and covered in dog hair, making it difficult for us to feel comfortable in our temporary home. Needless to say, we were extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with the condition of the property. It was disheartening to have our expectations shattered by such a lack of attention to cleanliness and maintenance. We had hoped for a memorable New Year's experience, but instead, we were left with a sense of frustration and regret. It is our sincere hope that these issues are addressed promptly, as no guest should have to endure such subpar conditions during their stay.

Perfect weekend getaway
I stayed at the Grey Chalet with my parents and 6 yo daughter and our dogs for 4 nights over a long fall weekend. We were just looking to getaway and relax and enjoy some low key local attractions. The house was just perfect. Very comfortable and I loved the style and all the details of decor. It was everything I was looking for!

Perfect spot!
House very clean. Nice location tucked in woods but within minutes of main roads & town of Hawley. Size, layout was perfect for our group of 5 adults & 2 dogs. We really appreciate being able to bring dogs along. Beds were pretty good. Does get warm-ish in liv rm bc there’s nowhere to place window ac unit, but you can use a fan to help move cold air. No issue for us. Appreciated having multiple places for folks to sit & hang out. The big table was so great for rainy day games. And the 2 large sofas were so comfy! I was really pleased. Everything accurately described. There were things there so we didn’t have to immediately go to store. House is very pretty, which I enjoyed. Nice new kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, very nice floors.We had a special treat early one morning…..my husband & son were outside on deck when a very large black bear slowly sauntered from behind the shed & across the wooded area behind house! Kept my dogs a little closer after that! Thank you for sharing your chalet!
