    Quiet place to rest and enjoy the wonderful landscape.

    I am tall and the shower is really low and the tap too close to your legs which makes it a bit uncomfortable. One of the double beds needs a mattress change because it is not comfortable anymore. All over Europe happens the same: the covers are too short and there are nothing except under sheets; fortunately the house had extra wool, long covers to compensate. Can be nice to have some firm pillows and not only soft ones. The living room is not very comfy to watch tv or lay down but we were away most of the time. We cleaned the private parking place and the 3rd day one car parked there and we had to clean another one, we couldn't find the owner of the car and we left a letter to tell him about it. Could be useful to have some strings to mark off the limits or bigger signs to avoid it.

    We (my wife and I) arrived late and we could not open the box but we called the owner and he helped us to get it. The owner was always behind the phone to answer all our questions. The house was clean and with all the appliances that you need. The heating system was perfect, the house was always warm and comfy. We used the wood stove and felt great. We could do the washing during the week. The surroundings are amazing to stroll around in the mountain, we really enjoyed walking every day. You can take skiing lessons also, use the funicular and there are many towns, museums, glacier 3000, etc. You must have all the winter gear for your car because the house is up in the mountain and you may need snow chains and covers. People in general are very kind. You have one restaurant a few blocks away with good food and always open. The shower had hot water and good pressure. There were also enough covers for the beds. The kitchen had more than you need to do your cooking! WiFi worked perfectly and we had Netflix as a plus. Take into account that you do not have groceries stores nearby, you must carry all the necessary with you to start. There was an awesome table with two chairs in the living room to play cards or board games that we enjoyed a lot. All in all, most of the things were perfect.

    Cozy apartment with everything you need and a great view. Parking spot available.

    The kitchen was dirty and the plates and utensils used did not seem to be cleaned by the previous tenants. At the end it was a little disgusting to cook with the utensils without cleaning them first, so we decided to literally put everything in the dishwasher once before using, and cleaned all the cupboards. I think the cleaning service should look into this with every tenant change.

    The chalet is very cozy and the distribution and rooms are as expected and good. It has everything that one needs and also has a beautiful view. Moreover, the beds were comfortable and the hot water was also uninterrupted (which in winter is very important).

    Perfect location close to trails, a charming and cosy little chalet, we were traveling with two little girls and for them it seemed like a little fairytale house...but with all the comfort and equipment needed. I definitely recommend this place to families with small children. The Chalet is not big but 5-6 can fit comfortably. The bathroom is also spacious for the size of the property, and everything was super clean and well kept. Thank you!

    One basically needs a car. There is a bus to Moleson village but it is quite a steep hike up to the chalet and there i no shop in Moleson village either. You also have to take with you all garbage for disposal. There are 2 flights of stairs to get to the chalet so aa certain amount of physical fitness is required. Note that you need to leave a tourist fee per person and day in cash at the end of the stay, if you book via booking. com. The beds in the 2 smaller bedrooms were on the short side (if you are over 180cm that is).

    Very quiet and peaceful surroundings with very sporadic traffic noise - only the calming sound of cowbells in the evenings. well equipped kitchen and ample storing space in bedrooms and shared rooms. Balcony with great views, several hiking routes within a few hundred metres walk. All instructions come i French, but it is easy to contact the owner for help i case google translate doesn‘t work out.

    The chalet was very damp, lots of cobwebs, dusty and we had animal hair on our pillowcases. It felt like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time. The chalet is lovely but is in desperate need of a freshen up.

    Location is perfect and good water pressure in the shower.

    The extreme cold spell made it very risky for a California couple in their 70s to drive into the snowy, icy mountains, and climb the icy stairs to the chalet, but the owner was relentless and charged us for the whole weekend anyway, including cleaning fees.
