The good: This chalet had plenty of comfortable sleeping space for everyone in our party of nine. It was cozy, had a beautiful view, and was in a great location close to Bellaire in a peaceful woodsy setting.

The not-so-good: Even though this cabin's sleeping arrangements fit ten people comfortably, the rest of it did not. There were only four chairs around the dining room table, no bar stools, and not even a coffee table on which to eat. With only one sofa and one chair in the living room, there was not enough comfortable seating for our party. We were forced to find folding lawn chairs in the basement so that everyone would have a place to sit. The gas fireplace worked fine most of the time we were there, but it took a bit of ingenuity to get it to start when we first arrived and by the evening before we left, we couldn't get it going again. I understand that kitchen and other items often "walk away" from rental units, but someone should really see that the kitchen remains well-stocked with basic items, such as measuring spoons, at least two large-sized pots, more than two wine glasses, mixing bowls, strainer (which we had to purchase), and several more decent knives. Oh, and a hair dryer. And lastly, we were disappointed when we could not watch the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day because the Dish Network in the house didn't have the right channel showing the game. And my team was playing. Bummer!

Finally, we were there to ski and were fortunate to receive about 16 inches of snow during our stay. While the small subdivision road was regularly plowed, the windy and hilly driveway was less-so. So, that made driving up and down the last stretch of driveway tricky even with a 4x4 with snow tires.

I truly hate to write negative reviews, and if you have significantly fewer people in your party, then this chalet is a perfectly fine place to stay. For larger parties, I think most of these issues could be remedied to some degree by adding the right furniture, but it would still be close living quarters.
