This chalet was built very charming; post and beam construction, a lot of exposed wood and lovely details. The chalet was extremely well outfitted, including the kitchen. We cooked almost every night and did not find anything missing. It was also immaculately clean. The view of Aguille du Midi was spectacular from the windows and I could not think of a better place to drink our morning coffee and enjoying the views. The chalet is walking distance into town (Chamonix) and we did not need a car. We were provided with a bus and train pass for the valley and were able to explore other villages and walk or ride between each village or access various hiking trails from the chalet and from the other villages. Our host, Jacky was the most attentive that I have experienced from a VRBO vacation. He offered (and did) pick us up from the bus station when we arrived and when we ended our trip. He provided numerous resources of train schedules, bus schedules, maps and local attractions. Since our goal was to hike each day, his suggestion to visit the Mountain House was invaluable. After returning home, I realized that I left behind a local artist created pillow case with the famed marmot and Jacky kindly mailed it to me. It is good to know that the property is near a highway. It is totally obscured by trees but if you are in the backyard (where the view of the mountains are), you will hear the noise. This did not bother us, as we were indoors due to the season.
