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.

Excellence facility for extended family
Amazing view, great location within Chamonix and easy access to the main roads in the area. The facility itself contain all the components needs to makes our stay comfort and pleasant. We also required accessibility to disabled person and it was good as well (only for entrance floor). Highly recommended chalet.

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

amazing luxury mansion in the heart of Chamonix
Booked the house for an anniversary with 12 friends. Ideal location in quiet street, just 300m South of Chamonix shoppingstreets and cafees. Everybody was blown away by the greatness and luxury of the house. From bedroom and livingroom you wake up to direct views of Aguille de midi and Chamonix valley. Massive wooden carpentry and every room has its own bathroom. Nice Jacuzzi and sauna and a small separate Chalet in the garden as a small apt on its own. The price for the hpouse is high, but so are the standard. Would love to stay here again, but need to gather a lot of friends to share the costs. Highly recommended. MountainBase that organiced the rental was very helpful.

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!
