We stayed 4 adults and 5 children in this amazing chalet. Perfectly suited for a family holidays, and ideally located right next to the shuttle for the slopes. Absolutely loved it
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.
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!

Very comfortable chalet and convenient location
The house is very comfortable. Particularly appreciated the games and books as well equipped kitchen. Direct access to slopes via public transport was great - bus stop just by chalet.

Bus en face du chalet, 10 minutes à pied du centre de Châtel. Chaque chambre à sa salle de bain.

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.

About the host
Hosted by Isabel and Derek Harwood
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.
