You will have private access to the entire house, including all of the outdoor areas. This excludes a few locked closets we use for storage as well as the ground floor of the house. There is a separate listing for the entire house for groups of 5 and more with an additional two bedrooms, bathroom and living room that sleeps 10.
The chalet is located on a private road that has a steep descent at the beginning - if there is a chance of snow you must have an all wheel drive vehicle with good tires. The road gets plowed when there is 4 inches or more. The road will usually be plowed after the storm is over, not during the storm. We recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip.
The home is extremely family-friendly! In order to be baby-friendly, the chalet has most outlets covered (main floor), items such as a pack n play with mattress, a high chair, a Bumbo seat and crib with crib mattress (please bring your own crib linens). The outside wrap-around deck also has a gate, so your child will be safe. There are also many older kid games, such as checkers, chess, Monopoly, and many more.
