We really enjoyed our stay at Al’s Chalet. There were seven of us and the home felt spacious and comfortable throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the bathrooms were stocked with all the essentials. I especially appreciated the thoughtful “forgot anything?” basket—such a nice touch when traveling in a hurry. Highly recommend!
