My daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Cuckoo Chalet. The house was perfect for us with three oversized bedrooms, two impeccably clean bathrooms, plenty of space to relax, and a well-appointed kitchen that suited our needs. The pool table, foosball, puzzles, and games were a lot of fun and we also enjoyed all of the great spots available to curl up with a good book. The pond behind the house was a beautiful backdrop for the mama deer and two babies who visited and the fire pit area looked nice, but went unused as we had major high temperatures during our stay. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciated the fantastic communication with the host. Her recommendations for restaurants and spots to visit were spot on. We would love to go back one day!
The house is at a beautiful location. It was quiet and very peaceful. We sat by the fire and listened to the birds and frog's at night. We got to see deer everyday. The last morning i stood on the deck and watched them for about 30 minutes. And the red chair was a big hit. It was very comfortable.
