About this property

Views! Large 3600 sqft 3-floor Custom Chalet w/HVAC, fast WiFi, 18 private acres

  • June-August '26 special: 2 well-behaved pets stay for the rate of one - S'mores on us! Scenic, nearby lake, golf, hiking! Base rate includes up to 6 guests.

    Authentic Custom-built Chalet is private, 3600 sqft, 18 acres, sleeps 13: 3 bedrooms, 1 King, 2 Queen, 3 Twin, 2 Queen sleeper-sofas, 3 full baths.

    This A Frame Chalets home books quickly, because this one is special!

    The Rye Chalet is a true custom built Artisan Chalet in a true Vermont experience. Rare for A Frame Chalets, enjoy Central AC (HVAC) on the two upper floors.

    Each of three floors has a bedroom and full bath. Total beds: one King two queen, three twins, two queen sofa beds. Great for couples, kids, and well-behaved pets (see below, please).

    With 3600 square feet of living space, the chalet offers several gathering areas, including two separate living rooms, a game table, a dining area, a 15x25' fire pit patio (Winter weather permitting), and a welcoming kitchen furnished down to the cookbooks. The kitchen also features a really cool induction cooktop and cookware. There are games galore and hundreds of interesting books in the library.

    Artisan stone mason Simon Shultz created magnificent two-story stone columns that support the outside deck overlooking the photoready Hidden Valley. At the heart of Rye Chalet, a spectacular three-story stone core. A charming custom-built spiral staircase connects all three floors.

    Bringing your little ones: As a courtesy to guests, we have our Graco Pack ‘n’ Play(s), highchair(s), booster, and toddler utensils ready. Just let us know when you book and all will be ready for you.

    Well-Behaved Pets: One pet: $40/night, $140/week. Two pets: $60/night, $210/week. Three pets: $80/night, $280/week. Limit three pets and we have pet house rules for you. Unauthorized pets anytime during your stay will incur a $350 deep cleaning charge.

    An additional private office separate from the Chalet...
    The creative studio/office behind the Chalet is an optional add-on to the home rental. It's separate from the chalet, and is perfect for work, writers, creatives, meditation, yoga, or prayer. The office is Zoom-ready with high-speed internet, an Ethernet connection, 65” ROKU-ready WiFi TV, and an electric ambiance fireplace. Fee: $45/night, two night minimum, plus $35 cleaning fee. Available in the Winter–weather-permitting.
