The chalet
Built for the whole crew
A traditional ski chalet with room to spread out: a dining table that seats all 14, a kitchen stocked for big breakfasts, a stone fireplace, and a deck built around the private hot tub.
After the last run
Watch the slopes light up from the loft
On winter evenings the night-skiing runs glow through the loft windows. Sink into the sofa with a film on the extra-large TV, pull out a board game, or head down to the hot tub, which stays open all year.

Guest reviews
Loved for the welcome
Hospitality is what guests mention most in their reviews, followed by how clean the chalet is.
Our stay at this ski chalet was nothing short of exceptional. … The chalet itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a cozy winter escape. … We were just minutes from the lifts at Blue Mountain, making it incredibly convenient to head out for skiing in the morning and return for a relaxing evening by the fire.
Lovely place for a big group of girls. Lots of room and beds as well as great dining space and living space where we all gathered comfortably. The host was quick to respond to any questions we had. It was a convenient and quick 3 min drive or 15 min walk to the village while being distant enough for privacy. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place.
We had an amazing 2-night stay at this cottage in Blue Mountain! The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. … the location was perfect—close to Blue Mountain Village, hiking trails, restaurants, and local attractions. … We would definitely stay here again!
This place was perfectly located. It was private, the amenities were as described, and the hottub was awesome!
Our group of 12 enjoyed the cottage … the hottub and the patio deck was so beautiful in the mornings, the rooms were amazing and the kitchen! It accommodated everyone so nicely! Great hosts!
We had a great stay at the chalet! It was clean, spacious, and super comfortable for our group—perfect for a family getaway. … Overall, everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our time. Would definitely stay here again!
