We stayed in the chalet for a weekend trip with friends - 4 adults and 4 kids ages 5-8, plus a large dog, and it was a great set up! There was plenty of space to hang out and the location was great - visited Murphy's, Big Trees SP, and Columbia Historic SP. It was 105 degrees the weekend we were there but AC and fans kept the house comfortable. Very dog friendly and kid friendly - the board games were great! Also loved the Nespresso machine! Only one suggestion - the deck - could use refreshed furniture and the deck itself seems in need of repairs, did not seem super safe (both stability and splinters). Overall wonderful stay for a fun weekend getaway with friends!
