Work Hard, Party Hard in a Luxury Chalet in the Alps
Ski resorts are evolving. Last summer we had a meeting with one of the main officers for French tourism in the Alps and he explained that they had carried out a lot of research and found that people need more than piste in a ski resort.
Vacation Rental Homes for the Young Traveler
Our vacation rental offers access to some of the best ski resorts in top Alps ski destinations. Here you can enjoy a fun ski vacation whether you’re headed for a double black diamond or the bunny slope.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Ski Chalet Host
Traditionally, staying in a ski chalet was rather regimented and in most cases it still is. Wake up bright and early to a huge breakfast, return around four or five to mountains of cakes and hot chocolate before a four or five-course meal in the evening.
Our Guest’s Reviews
Posted on RichardVerified A great lodge in a fantastic location. Hot tub BBQ and fire pit make it ideal. Host was very helpful. Place was immaculatePosted on JeremyVerified Lovely place, clean and peaceful.Posted on AlexVerified Amazing placePosted on SarahVerified We had a lovely stay at this small lodge on a peaceful fishing lake. There were two adults, our 5-month-old baby, and our dog, and it suited us perfectly.The lodge was spotlessly clean and really well set up, with great facilities throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed, which made things so much easier, especially travelling with a baby. The bed was very comfortable, and the lodge itself was a great size — even with a travel cot and plenty of baby toys set up, we still had lots of space. Without a baby, there would be more than enough room.One of the highlights for us was the outdoor area. It was a lovely private space where we could sit and eat, and it was perfect for my partner to enjoy some fishing. The hot tub was fantastic — really private, and not overlooked by other cabins, which made it even more relaxing.The hosts were also great and very easy to contact if needed, which we really appreciated.It’s worth noting that the lodge is quite remote, but we were prepaPosted on MariaVerified Had a wonderful stay in Lilly lodge. Everything has been thought of clearly and with consideration of comfort for guests. We loved our stay and cannot wait to return at a later date. Thank you :)Posted on KarllVerified Had a lovely stay with my GF, lovely pod and some good fishing to be had. Hosts are super welcoming and helpful and the place is squeaky clean brilliantPosted on HannahVerified Would 100% recommend staying here. The lodge was stunning, had everything we needed and was very clean, cosy and comfortable. The location was incredible. Straight out the door onto the most stunning fishing lake, very peaceful and private. Hot tub was great too and the hosts were very responsive and helpful. We had a very relaxing weekend and will definitely return. ThankyouPosted on AntoniaVerified Lilly lodge was just perfection! We had the nicest, most relaxing stay, it was my partners birthday so we had a birthday card and balloons upon arrival. The location is so beautiful, the hot tub was warm and lovely in the cold night, highly recommend to anyone, it’s just perfectPosted on ConnorVerified I had the pleasure of staying here for my birthday a couple of weeks ago, although I blanked on the fishing it was well needed rest and recuperation time, the lodge was great and the hosts were tremendousPosted on MarkVerified Lovely place to go and relax in the hot tub or sat next to the pond. Already booked to go back in July. Thanks both
