I stayed in a 2 bedroom chaket with a friend. It was a great place. A few household small repairs will be required in time, it did not detract from our stay, and would return. It was a great value.

The only issue was the restaurant was not open and we had to drive over 20km to find a restaurant for dinner and again the next morning for Breakfast.

The chalet was beautiful. Super clean, nice decor and beds were comfy. Water pressure was a little low but not terrible. Tons of parking( although it was offseason there would still be more than enough even if fully booked). would definitely stay again.
