Beau chalet a 1km des remontees mecaniques

Joli chalet, bien équippé, bien entretenu et spacieux. Les proprietaires sont tres rapidement disponibles pour toute question et tres sympathiques. Le chalet est a 1km du centre de Chatel et des remontees mecaniques. Il y a un arret de bus juste devant le chalet et des bus qui passent toutes les 15-30min. Le descriptif est fidele au chalet. Nous avons passé un tres chouette sejour.

Skiing holiday

We stayed at this chalet during February 2022 half term and had a fantastic time. My family and two other families stayed here, which was very comfortable for 10 of us and also had a great space for the teenagers to relax. The chalet is in a great location with the ski bus stop right outside the property and a 10-15 minutes into the centre. Thanks also to Isabel for speedy communications to our queries before our holiday started! Would definitely recommend to others, Thanks!!

Fabulous, well equipped chalet within walking distance to the centre of the village!

We all absolutely loved our stay here, the chalet was spotlesssly clean and well equipped - perfect for our group of 10. The ski bus stops almost directly opposite the chalet, so is really convenient for transport to and from the slopes. Communication with the owner was great too - thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful house but not treated well by the owners

On arrival at the property we were extremely impressed. It is on a noisy main road which we weren't aware off, but it didn't ruin our stay. Inside the property is very spacious and homely and suited our needs. However, some of the property was not particularly clean and we had to make up all beds and much of the bedding was not in great condition and the beds weren't very comfortable. As it is someone's home we were very mindful about taking care of it, and cleaned it throughout before leaving. On arriving home, the owners have refused to refund our sizeable deposit stating we didn't strip the beds or empty the bins! We did not know stripping beds (nor making them) was required, and had to leave at 4am with 4 children. It is very sad to be treated like this and would say that anyone wishing to stay there should do so as it is a great location but be prepared to battle over getting your deposit refunded.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 March 2020
This is the first time in 25 years of renting that I have not refunded a deposit in full. It is made clear to guests that the house must be left clean and beds stripped. These guests did no cleaning, left bins full, toilets not flushed and food waste all around the house. I withheld only what it cost to have the house cleaned for the next guests.

About the host

Hosted by Isabel and Derek Harwood

Host profile image
We first visited Châtel with our young family in 1988 and were so impressed with the family-friendly atmosphere of the village that we bought a chalet the following year. We initially came during the ski season but soon discovered that Châtel is an ideal location for summer holidays.

Why they chose this property

We had a chalet in another location in Châtel but the access was tricky in winter time and the parking very restrictive. We took the opportunity to have a chalet built to our own specification in a location which has very easy access, being just by the main road with the local free bus service 2 minutes from our door.

What makes this property unique

The chalet is south facing, so has great light as well as excellent views - sunrise over Linga in the morning and sunset over Les Cornettes de Bises in the evening. Châtel has installed two access chairs at the Lac de Vonnes and our bus route takes us straight there without needing to change buses in the town centre.
