Great property with stunning views. As 2 families with teenagers we stayed for a summer hoiday to explore the surrounding mountains. The location is stunning, so quiet but really close to lifts, towns, lakes and shops.
All rooms were comfortable and we had everything we needed. The kitchen was well equipped, especially as we cooked most evenings. The hottub was used daily, particularly by the teenagers.
Nice and clean and communication with the owner was always great.
Fantastic family chalet, really well presented with beautiful views into the valley. Friendly hosts and great access to Les Houches and the rest of the Chamonix valley. Would definitely stay again.
We were two families traveling together. We loved the location and the views were magical. The place was very clean (but for a few dust bunnies under the beds). It was very comfortable and the host was very helpful.
The only bump was that we didnât know weâd need to take the garbage away in our car. We werenât told ahead of time about that ( or the recycling requirements) and the directions to do so later we vague. We drove up and down the street where we were supposed to go but didnât find it. We ended up having to leave it at the home. We were sorry for it, but knowing ahead of time and with a GPS address weâd have managed it much better. Itâs not a reason to stay elsewhere. The place was great.
Geweldige locatie. 30 min lopen vanaf Les Houches door prachtig berglandschap. Fijn huis met alle gemakken. Jacuzzi. Enkel punt is dat er maar 1 bed is dat geschikt is voor lange mensen (>180 cm) overige bedden vrij kort.. Verder heerlijk, aanrader!
Due to the challenging circumstances with the coronavirus, Corin agreed to postpone our vacation to next year with less than one week notice.
We appreciate that.
Comfortable, clean chalet in a quiet location yet close to Les Houches and Chamonix. The view from the chalet is quite fantastic and exploring the valley is only minutes away, as is the Mont Blanc tunnel if you are coming from, or going to Italy. A trip to Switzerland, up to Lake Geneva is also quite easy and very scenic. We enjoyed every minute. Thanks Corin...
We were really excited to visit this property. We have been to Chamonix many times and we thought the pictures on the website looked lovely.
However it didn't turn out as expected. The first thing to be aware of is that you are NOT renting the entire chalet. The owner lives downstairs and makes use of the outdoor areas for parking, seating and storage etc. Also be aware that the hot tub is directly outside the owners kitchen door so we chose not to use it as there was little/no privacy.
We were pretty disappointed when we drove up to the chalet to find orange construction netting around one side of the property and the the rest of the dowstairs area somewhat untidy with the owners belongings, work tools etc.
On the positive side, the views down the valley are spectacular. But the chalet could definitely benefit from an upgrade of certain areas such as the kitchen, furniture etc. Also, the upstairs floorboards drove us absolutely crazy as everyone of them squeaked loudly.
We travel a lot and don't like to write negative reviews however we think the pictures shown of this chalet flatter the reality of what it truly is.
Erst einmal vielen lieben Dank an Corin...das Chalet ist traumhaft schön und gepflegt...die Zimmer sind schön und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet...die Lage ist wunderbar...das groĂe GrundstĂŒck ist fĂŒr Kinder und Hunde einfach perfekt...wir haben uns rundum wohl gefĂŒhlt! Das wird nicht unser letzter Aufenthalt in dieser wunderschönen Gegend und in diesem tollen Chalet gewesen sein...wir kommen wieder und können es nur wĂ€rmstens empfehlen!
We had a wonderful early family Christmas in this chalet. The location is great and it has wonderful views over the mountains. The chalet itself is very well equipped, warm and generally a fantastic place to spend a couple of days in the mountains. We sincerely hope to come back next year. Thank you Corin for your excellent communication beforehand and for making our family Chistmas such a good one.
Superb well-equipped chalet in stunning location made for a perfect holiday
Chalet Narnia is wonderfully positioned with dramatic mountain views and the chalet is tastefully furnished with good quality fittings and equipment. Little things like good quality garden furniture and bedding, a great sound system and DVD library, the atmospheric garden and the morning sunrises on the front balcony made all the difference. Easy access to cable cars and free parking in Les Houches and only a short drive to Chamonix meant we could explore several of the peaks and glaciers and do some stunning but exhausting walks, but you'll be quite happy to sit for hours on the chalet balcony or chill in the hot tub instead. This is definitely one of the best holiday lets we have ever had. Corin was quick to respond and very helpful and the house lived up to the description in every way. Strongly recommended!
Lovely chalet, great facilities. Easy to pop into Les Houches for eating out and small shops, and only 15 minute drive to the big supermarket. Stunning views from the balcony. Thoroughly recommend and will no doubt return in coming years.

French speaking owner from Kingston upon Thames in England. I take care of the chalet personally and meet the clients myself upon arrival. I am also available to help with any questions guests may have.
The property is unusual as it is not down in the bottom of the valley, has unique views and enjoys a very quiet and peaceful location. However the drive to Chamonix and its ski areas such as Flegere (my favourite) is short and so you can enjoy all the benefits of the valley. Walking in summer and snow shoeing in winter are done from the front door as well as mountain and road biking in and around Les Houches. Its a real alpine paradise that provides luxury and entertainment.
The incredible location and views with direct access to the whole Chamonix valley.
WOOD BURNER INSTRUCTIONS:
When you first light the wood burner please:
1. Chop up the logs into small lengths using the axe and chopping block provided by the wood pile.
2. Open all the vents. There are two, one on the top of the burner and one at the bottom. You can also leave the door slightly open for the first 5 - 10 minutes after ignition but remember to close it when the fire is going , don't leave unattended until the door is fully closed!
3. Use the wood wool to light the fire, DO NOT use paper or cardboard but only firelighters (provided).
4. If you use the wood burner correctly you should not have any black staining of the glass. DO NOT put large or round logs on at any time, always split the into smaller lengths.
