We were on a family vacation with our 2 & almost 4 yr old boys. They loved running around the property and watching the horses graze next door. One of the ponies even got out and was walking along our drive way. The house is small - especially the living area. I guess that's what chalet means? One side of the house is all windows and sliding doors. It presents a beautiful view. The wood framing around this wall had signs of water damage and the sliding doors would not close. Literally there was daylight (1/2-1inch) between each door. This is not good if u have young kids constantly trying to make a run for it. Tension Rods were supplied to remedy this problem. We were at the house in early August and by the time 8am hits, the sun is facing right into the glass wall of the house. It's like this for most of the day, and it's it very hot. There is no AC but plenty of fans. The fans basically blow the hot air around. So in our attempt to cool off, we had the sliding doors open and screen doors closed because of the kids. The screens were severely ripped and the tracks were bent and not aligning with the screens. So, in this attempt to stay cool, we found out that there might be a wasps nest somewhere on the premises, because 4-5 of them flew in the house. This is where we called it quits. We called the owner who answered the phone right away and he had his cleaning lady come and see what was going on. She wasn't able to do anything, so based all of the negatives we decided this wasn't a safe place to stay any longer. We left after 1 night of our two night stay. We were refunded for the night we didn't stay in addition to the deposit. I was told the screens should have been fixed prior to our arrival but weren't. Otherwise, the bedrooms, kitchen were nice. It's clear this house was a DIY but it's good enough if you just need a place to sleep while you're out hiking.
