  We had a wonderful stay this past week. For our first time to Big White, this was a perfect place for 2 kids (ages 6 and 8) and a small cocker spaniel. The Chalet was roomy, with 2 full bedrooms and a loft. The kitchen was fully stocked with every imaginable appliance (crockpot, waffle maker, lean grill etc) so there was no excuse not to have a hot meal after a long day of skiing. The WiFi was super nice for my husband to do some work at night and for my kids to watch their favorite shows on the ipad. There were also ample games, puzzles, movies and a private hot tub to keep everyone entertained. The entry way was fantastic, it had a large bench which made getting all the ski gear on and off really convenient. The best part was the floor heater above the coat hanging wall, it was heaven putting on warm gear before setting out. The ski in/out was really easy. We watched the youtube videos provided beforehand which gave us the markings to look for. Overall, it had all the convenience of being away from home which made traveling with 2 kids so much easier. It was clean and well kept. The owner was very prompt in getting our questions answered. We can't wait to go back! We have definitely recommended it to our neighbors and friends. Just a word of advice for first timers going to Big White that we learned, do your grocery shopping in Kelowna before you head up. There is a small market in the village and only a handful of restaurants to eat at. At the end of the day, you don't want to head out in your car to eat at the village. Otherwise we loved the ski resort and the skiing was amazing!

  We recently stayed at the Bellevarde chalet for a weekend of skiing with our family. It was a great unit to stay at ... was very well outfitted for everything we needed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was very well set up, and the entryway was a very good area to get ready for our ski days. I also liked how organized the owner was as far as booking and even showing via video how to ski in/ski out. Overall a great experience and would definitely stay at this chalet again! Thank you!

  Owner response: Thanks for your review. I'm glad that you were happy with the place.

  The layout of the living area was great. It was perfect for socializing and family meals. The kitchen was well stocked with good quality cookware. The hot tub was nice. The location in terms of ski-in ski-out was great. The location in terms of proximity to the village was not as good. The area was nice and quiet, which was great for our family and sleeping. The one complaint I have is that the bed was really soft and squishy, which made for a rough sleep. From what my parents said, their bed was much better than ours.

  Owner response: Thanks for your review. Regarding the softness of the bed we have learned that different people prefer different types of beds. In fact we recently received an email from a previous guest asking us where we got the beds because they were so happy with them. As far as the access to the village goes... the reason we bought in Snowpines is because we have stayed in the village previously only to be woken up by people coming back late from the pub or having the trail groomer drive by at 6:00 am. We prefer being away from the village 'action' and would much rather stay in a residential setting and then either walk or take the free shuttle bus to the village. Once again thanks for staying at our place and letting us know about the bed. If we get more complaints about it perhaps we'll remove the foam topper.

  we have stayed here several times and love it! Great for just the two of us or the whole family.Everything is always clean and well maintained, nice private hot tub, fireplace, beautiful views, it is close to the day lodge and an easy ski in from Serwa's. We will be back again for sure!

  Had a great time at the Bellevarde! My party got in late at night and thankfully the place is simple to find and comes equipped with a keypad to get in with. We were unpacked and in the hot tub in minutes, and the facilities exceeded all of our expectations. The owners made it nice and easy, with extensive video tours online, directions, and prompt and friendly responses to all of my quarries. The ski in/out worked great for the beginners in the group, being right off a green run, and for myself, too, taking the shortcut option with a good ten foot drop into untouched powder! The chalet itself is fully equipped and comfortable, while still keeping a great rustic cabin feel. All five of my party loved the place and Big White in general, and wish we would've stayed longer. Without hesitation i would recommend the Bellevarde to friends and look forward to going again.

  Just spent a couple of fantastic days with the family up at Big White and had the pleasure of staying at the Bellevarde Chalet. Ed has thought of everything to make his guests stay as pleasant as possible. The chalet is very well equipped, down to the smallest detail [ like the first aid kit ] and his YouTube videos were a great introduction to the property. Highly recommended !

  We stayed at this chalet for a family wedding for two nights this year. We were 2 families of 4 and our stay was fun and comfortable. The chalet was clean, organized and had a homey feeling. All the little details were so well thought out and made our stay stress free. Would highly recommend this chalet to family and freinds.

  We love this chalet. The owners were very easy to deal with and were super helpful. The chalet is well appointed and equipped. We've been coming here for a few years now and it is a highlight of our year.
