A very special place

Peaceful setting high above Samoens. A characterful barn conversion which was very comfortable and obviously has given people much pleasure over the years. We loved it for the calm and access to mountain walks.

Quaint and Cozy

We enjoyed our stay here very much. The property is pretty rustic, but it is well done and lovely. The kitchen is a bit quirky but has everything you need once you find it! Beds are very comfortable and the living room is a great place to hang out after a day of skiing. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a MUST as the roads to the chalet are steep and narrow. Gorgeous views - especially of the stars at night.

Merci pour votre commentaire Denis, nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié vos vacances au Lazy Labrador. Je m'excuse pour les problèmes d'humidité que vous avez rencontrés, c'est la première fois que nous recevons ce commentaire. Cela serait probablement dû aux fortes pluies enregistrées dans les Alpes avant votre visite. Nous enquêterons bien sûr et essaierons de trouver une solution s'il y a effectivement un problème identifiable. Merci encore d'avoir séjourné chez nous.

Joli séjour dans un petit hameau, un cours d'eau permet d'apprécier un bruit rafraîchissement, l'intérieur du chalet est très cosy, la litterie est de qualité, les aménagements extérieurs sont à améliorer (entrée du chalet, parasol, chaises longues...)...dans tous les cas une très agréable semaine

Un excellent séjours à Samoëns

Nous avons passé une semaine au Lazy Labrador et voici nos impressions. Pour les points positifs : très bonne communication avec la société gestionnaire ; bon suivi de la réservation. Le logement était très propre, bien rangé et accueillant. Ustensiles de cuisine en nombre suffisant et de bonne qualité. Pièce de vie agréable avec canapés en nombre suffisant et une sono mise à disposition avec nombreux CD et 33T. Salles de bains très confortables et fonctionnelles. Chambre principale très agréable, de décoration sobre et plaisante. Environnement avec nature toute proche et sentiers de randonnées à dix mètres de la maison. Poins négatifs : les pièces en général, à l'exception de la pièce de vie sont plus petites que ce que l'annonce laisse prévoir ; notamment, on ne peut prétendre à trois chambres car la plus petite ne pourrait à la limite convenir à un enfant petit, mais pas utilisable par un adulte ou un ado. La deuxième chambre est également un peu trompeuse puisque le lit double est très encaissé sur une estrade et vraiment sans aucun dégagement autour. Il serait plus judicieux de mettre ce lit double dans la partie basse de la pièce et le lit simple dans l'alcôve. Il manque un WC isolé qui serait agréable en cas de pluralité d'hôtes, car le premier est dans la salle de bain située d

Je vous remercie Pascal de vos commentaires, je suis ravi que vous avez passé de bonnes vacances. Je suis désolé que certaines pièces paraissent plus petites que dans l'annonce. Nous avons fait de notre mieux pour bien communiquer l'espace avec les photos et descriptions mais je regarderai pour voir comment améliorer ceci pour tout prochains visiteurs. Nous espérons vous revoir dans le futur - merci beaucoup et à très bientôt.

4/10 Poor

Nice accommodation with inadequateness in detail

The chalet is typical for the region and located at a really silent place. Unfortunately there is a big discrepancy between the photos and the reality as due to the panorama lens the rooms look wide and light. In fact only the living room is as large as the photos pretend. The sleeping rooms are all really small and gloomy. One problem was the quality of the mattresses: Something between disappointing and inconvenient, in any case much too hard, especially in the double room for the adults. So my wife and me left Samoëns with dorsal pain. There are nearly no wardrobes in the sleeping rooms to hang up clothes although you have a lot if you go skiing with a family of five. The biggest disappointment was the level of cleanness which definitely was not acceptable. We found many surfaces dirty and dusty as well as small spider webs in corners allover the accommodation. A lot of items of the kitchen had to be washed before first use, especially all pots and frying pans but also most parts of the cutlery and glasses. All in all it is a pity that the maintenance of the property is so careless. But the music collection is just about the limit!

Dear Michael, It is with great sadness that I read your review, which is inconsistent with the usual feedback we receive. Our main priority is always to provide our guests with the best experiences possible. We respect your opinion and will investigate each and every point in order to ensure that our future guests remain delighted with their stays, as they have done for the last 7 years. The chalet is an authentic 18th century farmhouse where windows are indeed smaller and rooms may at time be darker than modern houses. The bedrooms, utility room and hallway contain plenty of hanging and storage space for drying ski clothing and storing normal clothing - we apologise that this was not sufficient for your needs. The mattresses are of a high quality and expensive, and while we've been praised for the comfort of our beds in the past, we appreciate there is no one size fits all and it is unfortunate that your wife had pains. This review is our first indication that you were unhappy with your stay. We did send emails during your stay to check you were comfortable and happy and would have hoped to have heard from you if you had any problems or discomforts in order to rectify fully any complaints or problems you may have had. Unfortunately, we were completely unaware and therefore unable to assit you to make things better for you, which would have been our top priority! Thank you again for all your feedback and we'll continue doing our best to ensure the problems you outline are properly investigated and resolved.

Just waking up and walking out the door with your snowshoes on and enjouy the most incredible view , it is priceless!!! Thanks to Sebastian for taking care of us . It just feel like coming back home every year. We will come back !! See you next year

Fantastic place, charming, cosy and full of character, in lovely rural setting up in the mountains

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Lazy Labrador, loved the great, rustic yet extremely charming kitchen, where we prepared and enjoyed many meals with a big group; the sitting room, with a roaring log burner seeing many games played, accompanied by music from THE most amazing record collection; and then really cozy bedrooms (with very comfortable beds) and two modern bathrooms. Our two daughters loved staying in the small annex across the road, another great place full of character. The location is a short 10 min drive up from Samoens, and if there is snow I would not want to do it without either snow chains or 4x4 with snow tyres. The place lies in a high valley with beautiful mountain views, and we loved walking in the snow, enjoying the views. The place easily copes with 7 people, of which 3 couples, but if you want to be 9 at least two of them need to be children (one of them in the anteroom of a double bedroom). Overall a really wonderful place!

Away from all the fuss but not too far away!

This was our fourth visit (I think) and the fact that we keep returning speaks for itself. For us it is important to be able to take our dogs and/or children and grandchildren into an environment that suits all. Lazy Labrador gives us that, good walking literally on the doorstep, skiing and Samoens itself a short car ride away, with comfort to return to. The chalet is clean and has everything we need in abundance.

Christmas at the Lazy Labrador

The lazy labrador is the perfect house to spent the holidays, the atmosphere welcomes you right from the start. It's a real comfortable place to stay with a well equiped and characteristic kitchen. The surrounding is beautiful, quiet with breathtaking views! The only improvement we would suggest is to create more wardrobe in the bedrooms We appreciated the positive contact with Sebastian, there was always a friendly en quick reply to our mails and questions. Andy and Eva, the keyholders were real friendly and helpful to. We had a lovely time!

Idyllic Mountain Retreat

A wonderfully rustic, remote and comfortable farmhouse, which we enjoyed hugely. The rooms, facilities and decor are all excellent; however the high point is the location with wonderful views and options to walk from the farmhouse into the surrounding hills. The kitchen was well-equipped; the bedrooms of a good size and the showers excellent. The sound system mixes new with old, with good wi-fi for streaming music and a record collection aimed at the average 55-year old male. Samoens was quiet during our visit, but there's a good choice of cafes, bars and restaurants. Walks/hikes nearby are brilliant. Overall a memorable stay in a wonderful place.

Charming, perfectly located chalet

We loved our week at Lazy Labrador. The location is excellent - tranquil, with stunning views over to the other side of the valley, and yet close to Samoens. And close to lovely places to explore - local walks up the valley from the chalet itself, Samoens itself (go to Tiffanys baker, and the pizza restaurant), Sixt Fer a Chevalier, Lake Geneva, Sommand valley, Samoens 1800 (for some stunning views up and down the valley) and Morzine. And of course easy access to the challenge of the excellent Col de Joux Plane cycling climb. The cafe at the top of Joux Plane serves delicious and simple mountain food, and there are some beautiful walks at the top too. The chalet itself is charming - well equipped but full of rustic character. We enjoyed the extensive vinyl collection and library of climbing books. And the local key holder Jasper was always helpful and gave us some good pointers for places to visit. An idyllic holiday with many happy memories.

Lazy Labador

We had a fantastic holiday, walking with our dogs (labradors!), skiing, making snowmen and generally relaxing in the house. It is an easy house to settle into....the temptation being to just stay in which would be a shame in the locality. The immediate surroundings are beautiful; no need to get into the car to go for a walk. To ski you need a car but then you have a choice of resorts which are within an easy travel and can be selected according to weather. Both the manager and the local representative are very helpful without being at all intrusive. This was our second visit and will probably not be the last.

a unique and special place to stay

We spent a marvelous time in Lazy Labrador, a renovated barn in a quiet hamlet. All the rooms were perfectly done and it was a pleasure to cook in the kitchen.We loved the view and the quietude we had. We loved having hiking trails starting right by the house. Sebastian made us feel very very welcome and gave us a lot of helpful information and tips. It was also a pleasure to meet Jasper, the caretaker, who is available any time.
