About this property
Morrisey Chalet At Sun Peaks: Stunning Mountain Home In Pristine Setting!
Welcome to our home -- Morrisey Chalet At Sun Peaks!
This is a stunning mountain home in a quiet, private and pristine setting (yet still within a stroll to the Village at Sun Peaks). Our Chalet has beautiful mountain and forest views and a year-round babbling creek adjacent to the 4th hole fairway. Many families and friends tell us that they feel peaceful and relaxed in our mountain "home away from home" and we enjoy hosting families and/or friends coming together to create those special memories for summer or winter reunions.
We have a floor to vaulted ceiling fireplace and panoramic windows, log beams, private 6 person hot tub, heated floors, leather furniture, large kitchen, four bedrooms, ample parking and laundry room.
SPACIOUS: Morrisey Chalet has 4 bedrooms for up to twelve people (due to Sun Peaks Bi-laws) and has flexibility and privacy in sleeping arrangements. This includes a master bedroom on the top floor with a queen size bed, single bed, and portable baby crib), two bedrooms on the main floor with queen size beds, and a bedroom with double and single beds downstairs. For separate sleeping arrangements, there are also two comfortable double sofa beds in the downstairs family recreation room. All queen size beds have comforters/duvets and memory foam for comfort. There are three bathrooms with heated tile floors. All bedrooms have comfortable chairs for sitting and reading.
The chalet is perfect for extended family reunions or ONE TO TWO FAMILIES to get together. Children and teenagers love our downstairs family and recreation room and the fact that they can use our sleds to enjoy the outdoors and snow in winter.
NEW UPDATES of AMENITIES for MORRISEY CHALET at SUN PEAKS: Over the past five years we have updated many items at Morrisey Chalet. Please scroll down to the bottom of this description for all of the updates to our Chalet.
PLEASE NOTE that we have a separate access unit below Morrisey Chalet with stairs down on the left. Kathy and I may stay there in winter (except when we are traveling), so we look forward to meeting our guests and offering a personal connection and advice. We do, however, feel it is important to respect your privacy, since this is your holiday, and the entire large home and hot tub are used solely by you as guests who rent the chalet. Note, We have sound proofing installed between the separate unit and the main house.
SKI-IN ACCESS is from two of Sun Peaks’ newest Morrisey black runs: “Lint Trap” & “Tumble Dry” plus blue run "Back In Time," and green run “Home Run-Fairway-Mountain View" trail. Our guest book contains a full description of the runs with map and photos.
SKI OUT: There is not a very easy ski out. Younger/fit people may climb up the hill across our street and ski down to the Burfield Chair. HOWEVER, a free shuttle stops at our property at the “bus stop” and will stop close to the front of the chalet normally twice an hour except two break times mid-day. An evening shuttle goes to and from the Village Day Lodge (VDL) at 5:30-9:30pm. See shuttle schedule on- line - it is better for the Sun Peaks environment.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PRICES on VRBO are in US DOLLARS unless specified otherwise. For Canadian dollars, please see: www.homeaway.ca/cottage-rental/p749332vb (the Canadian HomeAway site). You can book through either the VRBO or HomeAway sites for the same price.
REDUCED PRICES FOR LONGER STAYS: We have special significantly reduced prices for week-long stays, weeknights and summer periods as well as month-long stays.
Of note: Morrisey Chalet is located in a beautiful mountain & country environment. We do from time to time have animals on the property or nearby. This may include Deer or Elk, Rodents (Ground Squirrels, Mice, Tree Squirrels), Birds, Foxes, & sometimes even Bear or Linx. For those guests who venture from city areas, they may not be used to nature settings. It is normally a very safe & peaceful environment & we do everything possible to maintain this for our guests.
PRIVATE YET CLOSE LOCATION: We are located on Mountain View Drive, in Mountain View Estates, one of the newer subdivisions in Sun Peaks. Morrisey Chalet is a peaceful walk along the Village Trail (15-20 min - lit up at night) or along Fairways Drive to the Village Day Lodge (VDL), & the many village restaurants, and shops/businesses. The location is just 2-3 minutes drive to the Village.

It is adjacent to the fourth bedroom with a very comfortable double bed below and single bed above, and an adjacent well equipped bathroom with a heated tile floor.

It was a nice house to stay for our yearly family ski trip. We had plenty of space and loved the view. The bus was close to the house, but we thought it was a ski in and ski out house. Still had a great time thou and enjoyed our stay.
The house was everything as described in the advertisement. Great location, all the amenities one could want, beautiful views, and a lovely home. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Our extended family had a very good time!
We spent a glorious 3 days at the bottom of Burfield chair lift, staying at the Morrissey Chalet.
Chalet had everything we needed for a fun family ski vacation including fully stocked kitchen, laundry room to dry our damp ski clothes, storage area for all our equipment, and a hot tub for apres ski.
The bedrooms were good to sleep 11 of us, and we had extra space to spare.
We would recommend a visit.

We stayed here for a tournament in Kamloops- nice to have the space (top bedroom looks like it has a separate single bed through the bathroom in one of the pics but it’s all in one room) only downer for us was the drive back and forth to town but the home was awesome and in walking distance to sunpeaks for biking, golf or dining etc.
We arrived in an unusal heat streak.
Fans were provided. Property was clean and as shown in picutres. More than enough kitchen ware provided. Can sit on the deck and listen to the creek bubble in the trees. Neighbourhood was very nice. Short distance to the town centre. Hiking and biking was great.
Lovely chalet.

We had to fill 3 Britta's to use to make ice cubes, no ice maker on fridge. The fridge filter had to be replaced.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Nov 2024
At Sun Peaks there are extra minerals in our water system. Due to this we have provided filtering for water which improves taste and is better for the coffee machine as well as our French press. This also ensures better taste with making ice cubes and fresh water.
We consider our Morrisey Chalet “modern rustic, not tired. Many guests have also expressed this sentiment during their stay.
With this in mind, over the past five years we have updated the following items at Morrisey Chalet: new refrigerator, washer and dryer, dishwasher, microwave, leather couch, bedroom furniture, reading chairs in each bedroom, carpet in great room, BBQ, outdoor bar table, bar stools, dining table and chairs, two very comfortable sofa beds, coffee tables, soundproofing, extra folding chairs, vacuum, two televisions, shower systems, sheets, pillowcases, and duvets for all beds, memory foam additions to mattresses in the four bedrooms, bookshelves with extensive book, CD and DVD collections, dining chairs with cushions, outdoor lounge/reading chairs, LED lighting, mountain pictures and paintings on all walls, dinnerware, high end pots and pans, and many new kitchen utensils.

Family of Fifteen have Fun
Somehow I miscalculated and thought we had a bedroom for all couples, plus the bunk room. But, no, one family had the playroom at the foot of the stairs! Fortunately we wore ourselves out so thoroughly that everyone seemed to sleep well no matter where they were! But the house was a bit tight for 15. The kitchen was well equipped and we fed ourselves well. Didn't have time to play many games, but there is a good supply of DVDs also. The front porch is a bit slippery...could use some textured paint or such. All in all, a very nice place!

Beautiful home, wonderful owners!
We stayed here 6 nights over Christmas. Although we live in the area, we had a large blended family with grandchildren that we were hosting all at once for the first time!
This home was roomy enough for all, extra cot and crib were provided, and it is close enough to the village that grown ups can enjoy a quick walk. There is a shuttle that stops right outnfront every half hour as well. Not to mention all the amenities provided in the house! Plenty of cutlery, and towels for the hot tub. Huge windows with views of the runs, and granite countertops even!
The owners are what we felt was very special about this home. Not only did they set up a real Christmas tree for us, happily; but they also stopped in to introduce themselves with smiles, thanks us for shovelling the walkway, and to let us know a decent amount of happy kid noise was welcome by all means! They were always quick to reply by email or phone, and thankful when we mentioned a few minor things that could be upgraded (slow drip coffee maker).
Oh, and it snowed every night and was sunny most days!! The skiing was incredible, as was the snowmobiling, and there happens to be a good toboggan hill just across the road! These are wonderfully kind people who share a big, beautiful home on a big beautiful mountain! Thank you H&K
Enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Harold and Kathy Richins
Welcome to Morrisey Chalet at Sun Peaks! We have been the owners of Morrisey Chalet since 2015 and are continuing to work hard to make your experience at Morrisey Chalet - a home away from home in the mountains! We hope you enjoy our private rustic mountain chalet and your time in Sun Peaks as much as we do. Thank you for taking care of our dream vacation home: Morrisey Chalet at Sun Peaks!
We purchased Morrisey Chalet at Sun Peaks in July, 2015 and we enjoy hosting families who want to create very special family experiences. We want you to feel like Morrisey Chalet at Sun Peaks is your "home away from home" in the mountains. We are continually working to make the guest experience at Morrisey Chalet the best and most special shared mountain experience for both friends and family alike.
Harold and Kathy Richins are the owners. Kathy was born in Hawaii and was an educator for most of her working life (teaching children and then students at universities in Australia and New Zealand). Kathy retired from her own Life Coaching and Hawaiian massage for health and wellness business in April, 2018. Kathy also managed and worked for organizations that served people with disabilities.
Harold is a retired (as of December, 2018) Professor in Tourism at Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, BC. Over the past 30 years Kathy and Harold have lived and worked in four countries including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA (including Hawaii, Oregon and California), and enjoy traveling extensively overseas.
We love our mountain home in Sun Peaks and often get to meet people from many countries including our cherished Canada. We believe you will love our place too, as it has so much to offer to enhance your Sun Peaks experience.
Warm regards,
Kathy and Harold
Why they chose this property
We believe Sun Peaks and our location at Mountain View Estates offers the great balance in being a part of such an amazing new community (the Municipality and Village of Sun Peaks).
This is one of the friendliest places we have ever lived and it has such a great balance of just the right weather and temperature in summer (an escape away from the heat elsewhere), and the most consistent winter weather we have experienced at a ski resort community.
With temperatures just right to keep the snow crisp yet not too cold for Canada to enjoy each day, Sun Peaks has amazing snow conditions. The grooming is second to none and with 144 runs and three mountains, all accessible to each other, this makes for real choice based on weather, finding that perfect powder run, or just enjoying the ample sunshine we experience during the season. We have often said "a bad day here is a good day somewhere else." Really there are seldom any bad days and you can virtually always find that special run - and hardly any lift lines!
We have skied all over North America as well as Europe, New Zealand and Australia, and for consistency of snow conditions, Sun Peaks can't be beat! With the most consistent winter weather we have experienced at a ski resort, now it is Canada's second largest ski resort and in the top 5 or 6 in North America in terms of skiable acreage (close to 4300 acres) with 137 runs including 16 powder glades and close to 3000 ft vertical.
In the spring, summer and fall, there is much to choose from regarding outdoor activities, events and festivals, markets and music and being an active part of this mountain village experience. A number of lakes are within a ten minute drive and there are numerous walking and mountain bike trails (both cross country and accessible through the Sun Peaks lift system).
Please also check out our "Photo Gallery" on this site to see additional photos and our location. We would love to have you and your friends and/or family as our guests.
What makes this property unique
Having a fully outfitted house for a group of family and/or friends in a private yet close setting. Especially great for families and groups of friends who would like to share their experiences in one very comfortable place.
Our winters and our springs/summers/falls are amazing here: just the right temperature and climate for each... Both winters and springs/summers/falls are filled with experiences for many interests.
I (Harold) volunteer as a Mountain Host at Sun Peaks (meet at 9:15am or 1pm every day of the ski season just outside of the SP Village Day Lodge) and in showing many international and Canadian guests around our three diverse Sun Peaks mountains, I often hear comments like: "amazing snow conditions," "friendliest community," "we feel like this is our home away from home," "everything is here for us," "great weather," "no lift lines," "all connected," "great alternative to Whistler," and many other positive comments.
Sun Peaks feels in some sense like a small mountain boutique resort, yet it's facilities and mountains are world class and some of the top in North America. You feel away from it all, yet right in the heart of the experience. Sun Peaks is not spread out like other resort areas and the people who both live and visit really cherish this place.
The integrated partnership of the mountain operation (Sun Peaks Resort), the municipality (Sun Peaks Municipality), the visitor services (Sun Peaks Tourism), the many dynamic business owners, and the village residents is unique and inspiring. And they are all focusing on one key aspect: "It is all about the MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCE!"
