Paradise in Chamonix
We really enjoyed our time here. Its walking distance from the shops, bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the sauna and jacuzzi were wonderful after a day of activities. The kitchen was fantastic with two fridges, ovens, dishwashers,sinks and a big island. Andreea was amazing as our host. Highly recommend!

Amazing chalet for a big group
8 en suite bedrooms and a gorgeous kitchen and living room. Highly recommend for a group of friends. A walk to the bus stop and a decent journey to the major ski lifts, but a worthy compromise for such a great house! And the hosts were super accommodating for check in and check out.

A fantastic rental!
13 friends enjoyed Original Chalet for a week in late June. Carmen and Andreea were responsive with any questions we had before we arrived. Carmen arranged for a Chef's dinner our first night so we we could relax in the Chalet without cooking and cleaning. I would highly recommend that! Andreea gave us a tour of the house when we arrived and stopped by midweek to see if we needed anything. The house is clean, large and comfortable. Each bedroom has a full modern bathroom. the hot tub and sauna were fun and we used them often throughout the week. The kitchen has everything we needed (and more!) to cook large dinners. I would recommend this chalet for families, friends and business retreats. Finally, the Chamonix experience is excellent. The town is set up for tourists, the shopkeepers and restaurants are friendly. The hiking and stunning views are the best in the world! Many thanks for a great week!

Superb accommodations in magical Chamonix!
Occasionally we have been disappointed that VRBO selections are not as represented online, but this experience was the opposite - it was terrific and more than met expectations! Despite some construction going on adjacent to the property, we felt no infringement on our privacy, and the property could not have been better. There were thirteen of us, which meant separate bedrooms, all with bath and shower, for most.The huge, well equipped kitchen more than met expectations and provided flexibility for all of our needs, and the dining table was perfect for everyone. We had a chef catered meal one night, and the chef said that it was her favorite kitchen in the area. There was virtually every amenity you could think of in the house, and the hot tub got plenty of use. The house was clean and set up for functionality. The view was great, with Mont Blanc staring at us as we had coffee (or drinks!) on the outside patio. Parking for three vehicles was no problem, and the location was perfect for a quick walk into town, or exploring many of the attractions.We were fortunate to be able to extend our stay two additional nights (wish it could have been more), for a total of 6 nights. The management group was terrific as well (Mountainbase), professional, communicated well, and extremely helpful. Dealing with the owners was also a very positive experience, as responses were timely, and they really made us feel like we were welcomed guests in their home. We had a wonderful experience, and would hope to return some day from the States. Thank you everyone for helping to make our family memories unforgettable! Larry and Cindy Squire 7/28 - 8/2/2018

Voor de tweede keer en weer een feest om hier te verblijven
Met onze (klein) kinderen hebben we voor de tweede keer een week gelogeerd in dit heerlijk huis. Op loopafstand van het centrum van Chamonix en met uitzicht op de mont blanc! De ruime, luxe , en verzorgde kamers, maakten dat iedereen zich op zijn gemak voelde. De volledige inventaris maakte dat er nergens gebrek aan was. De ontvangst en communicatie was hartelijk. Bij vragen werd er meteen gereageerd. Er zou wat klein onderhoud gepleegd moeten worden aan de buitenkant van het huis, maar dat stond ons heerlijke verblijf zeker niet in de weg. We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Dank daarvoor!

Eindelijk een huis gevonden die voldoet voor een grote familie. Prachtige slaapkamers met eigen douche, fantastische keuken met grote inductiekookplaat en goed kookgerei. Mensen zijn toppie. Nadeel is kleine tuin doordat grote jacuzzi veel ruimte inneemt. En dan het uitzicht op de Mont Blanc!
