Le logement est vraiment sympa.Etage inférieur: 3 chambres suffisamment spacieuse, particulièrement la chambre "parentale", 1 autre chambre lit double ok, 1 autre avec 3 lits simples pour enfant avec commodeEgalement salle de bain (baignoire douche double évier) et 1 WC séparéEn-haut: cuisine bien équipée, 1 salon agréable, 1 WC séparé et un coin "jeux". Suffisamment spacieux et très cosy. Le charme d'un chalet avec du confort. Pour plus que 4 personnes, l'espace pour manger est limité. Je pense qu'une table pliable d'appoint (pour 2 personnes) serait pas mal.2 places pour se garer à l'extérieurChien accepté, ce qui n'est pas facile à trouver.Un rapport Q/P vraiment très bon pour la région et la période.Logement très propre.Si nous repassons, nous reviendrons et nous recommandons ce logement les yeux fermés. Un grand merci pour ce séjour!

Wonderful location!

We had a truly memorable week in the Alps! Taconnaz was the perfect base; there are stunning views of the Mont Blanc Massif from the property itself and it is within minutes of Chamonix and the various cable cars in the valley - we used a car mostly, but public transport connections are excellent. We were able to make forays to Lake Geneva and into Courmayeur and the beautiful Val Ferret in Italy via the MB tunnel. Communication with the host via the VRBO site was clear throughout (except for my own confusion about payment to the house keeper - sorry Valerie!!). The property was just as described, with plenty of space for my wife and I and our two teenage sons. We were there in July / August, and the upstairs room was hot, but the bedrooms, which are downstairs, remained relatively cool. The facilities were great. Many thanks, Valerie, for a fantastic week.

Magnifique petit chalet près de Chamonix

Petit chalet adorable aux Houches, avec vue extraordinaire sur le Pic du Midi, confortable et propre pour 6 personnes à 5mn en voiture ou en bus de Chamonix. Nous avons passé une super semaine en famille. Plein d’activités à proximité. Notre hôte, Jean-Pierre, est plein de petites ressources (ses notes sur ses cahiers à propos des restaurants ont été très précieuses.) Très serviable, il nous accueillis avec une bouteille de rosé et nous a aidés avec pleins d’infos. Point fort de cette location outre la maison: tous les petits produits nécessaires (sel, huile, café…et plus) sont présents dès votre arrivée, ce qui permet de s’installer et de profiter tout de suite de la maison. Il suffit juste de les remplacer lors de votre départ. Seul bémol, le chalet est situé près de la route principale qui mène à Chamonix et peut être parfois bruyant le soir avec les voitures qui passent (nullement dangereux) mais ce n’est pas l’aéroport non plus. Points forts: sa vue, sa location à proximité de Chamonix, sa connection wifi, sa beauté et son confort. Nous y reviendrons quand nous séjournerons une nouvelle fois sur les Houches.

Generally Brilliant

A really good place, particularly enjoyed the garden with the views and being able to sit 6 at table in the garden. Very much appreciated the upside down nature of the building - living upstairs, beds downstairs, as it meant there was a cool place to sleep. It was good for the six of us because the weather was mainly excellent, so we had nearly every meal outside. However, we would have had trouble seating 6 of us inside for meals, as the breakfast bar only had 4 chairs and there was no other dining table! So maybe this should be changed - would be a squash for 6 in the winter! Also please think about the thickness of the duvets! The duvet we had on our bed was far too hot in August even in the cool downstairs. The only alternative was to sleep under the duvet cover and a not full-sized blanket, which is what we did. So please consider making the bed covering more flexible for the user in terms of temperature control. We had a great time - thank you very much.

Fantastic Chalet, great views

We stayed for a week at Chalet Vrai departing.on the 24th February. The chalet lived up to expectations and was very comfortable. There were a couple of things we didn’t realise were included such as dishwasher and washing machine, which were both very handy. On arrival and following our GPS the road leading to the chalet is on a steep incline and is very icy. Not having snow chains or a 4 wheel drive vehicle we couldn’t drive up this hill. Luckily we found another route to the Chalet from the opposite end of the road which was a lot easier to drive on so we were able to get the car to the chalet. Worth noting this in future as this was a little stressful. The views of the mountains are fantastic and we enjoyed a week of skiing in Les Houches. The ski bus is a few minutes walk from the chalet however we chose to drive to the ski lift areas. We paid extra in the chalet for linen and towels, which I was told was optional but worth bringing your own towels if you like large bath towels like we do. Plenty of room in the chalet for the 5 of us (3 kids and 2 adults) WiFi was good. Improvements that could’ve been made if I was being honest were: more/ better towels, washing up liquid for guests to use and a couple of dishwasher tablets to get you started, grit or salt available for the drive/ footpath as we slipped many a time, English speaking tv channels ( however we used our Netflix subscription so wasn’t a major issue) There may have been more info in the book for guests to use but if there was anything important it would’ve been sensible to be in English too. Lovely showers to use at the end of a hard days skiing and just about enough hot water for the five of us. All in all we really enjoyed our stay. The hosts and cleaner have been very helpful and lovely too. Thank you

Breathtaking views

Lovely warm and clean chalet with fabulous views beautiful artwork and everything you need in a property. As the living room is upstairs the ceiling is quite low for getting on and off the sofa, but you soon get used to it. The chalet us very close to the main road but when you're inside you wouldn't know. Valerie was most helpful and very quick to respond to any questions.

We really enjoyed the area and did lots of hiking and some SUP also at Lac de Passy, overall fab!

We loved the chalet which was very conveniently located, amenities were great also, we would definitely stay again, we ate outside most days and also used the sun loungers to rest after our 4/5 hour hikes. The owners were really friendly as was M who helps out also, very much recommended for a relaxing holiday.

Lovely chalet, lovely alpine holiday!

We had wonderful stay over 2.5 weeks in March 2018. The chalet itself has a pleasant, warm and homely ambience, with masses of natural light in the main living area streaming in through the various windows. The views from the house are truly awesome. The chalet is charming, adorned with nice artwork and equipped to a good standard. The 3 bedrooms and bathroom are all downstairs, with the main bedroom being of a particularly good size, nice and bright. The accommodation is comfortable and well heated, and very quiet, in spite of being quite close to the main road. There is a bakery just 2 minutes walk away which was hugely convenient for fresh bread in the morning, pastries in the afternoon... We brought our Bernese Mountain dog with us: she quickly felt right at home and was clearly very happy there too! Communications with the owners, and locally with Monique, were very helpful, and everything went extremely smoothly. We all had a great holiday.

Such a homely and beautiful chalet with all the essentials, stunning views of Aguille du midi area.

Beautiful chalet with a great collection of art work and a treasure trove of cd's to accompany a chilled night in or an upbeat bbq. The views from the private garden are breathtaking. Aguille du midi, Mount Blanc and beyond! Only 10 mins drive in to Chamonix. The chalet has a real charm and very homely... All the stuff you need for a night in or just a chilled day lazing around. We loved the whole Alps experience and Les Houches is perfectly positioned for getting around. A very quiet neighbourhood and walks from the front door into the mountain forests. We'll definitely be returning!

Dieses Chalet ist einfach ein Traum!! Wir waren im Juli bei bestem Wetter dort und konnten beim Essen auf der Terrasse täglich das Mont-Blanc-Panorama genießen.Es ist alles vorhanden, von der Wäscheklammer bis zum Johannisbeerstrauch am Stellplatz :-)Taconnaz ist sehr gut an Bus und Bahn angeschlossen, sodass das Auto bequem stehenbleiben kann.Trotz der Lage nahe einer Landstraße war es sehr ruhig.Die Kommunikation mit Valérie war prompt und perfekt. Es hat alles prima geklappt.Fazit: Dieses Chalet ist UNBEDINGT empfehlenswert!!!
