We met my daughter and her family at the chalet for the weekend The four bedrooms were perfect for our family and the spacious living area has enough room for sports on TV as well as games or eating at the dining table
The home is absolutely gorgeous and immaculately clean. We enjoyed the large space comfortably. Thank you Vlad and Elvira for making your home available to our family.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Welcome back anytime:)
We had a peaceful two night stay in this very well appointed home. Master bedroom is luxurious with excellent views. The three other bedrooms are good sized. The main living space is lovely with comfortable furniture and excellent views. The kitchen has new appliances and all the cooking equipment one needs to create delicious meals.
My family stayed over the weekend for my wedding and it could not have been a more perfect place for getting ready with a gorgeous view. The check in process was a breeze and all information was provided so that we had no questions! Would recommend everytime!
Wonderful place! My only issue was there was no easy access to the water, and the neighborhood/area was rock unpaved roads. But honestly it didn't matter, you never want to leave once you get there. It just so comfy, elegant and relaxing.
The living space is open and bright and we enjoyed sitting on the deck and the lake view. The house is well-equipped and the owner was easy to reach when we had a question. Recommended.

Thank you so much for your kind words! You are welcome anytime:)
We enjoyed our two nights at Lakeview Chalet. The home is spacious enough to accommodate our group of 7 adults. The furnishing and decorations are very cozy and comfy. The lake view and quiet neighborhood are very relaxing. We especially loved the fire pit in the evening. Everyone said the beds are very comfy and the water temperature and pressure in the showers are excellent -- (probably our most appreciated amenities). Absolutely no complainants and will rent again if ever in the area.
The host was very helpful and communicated well. Very spacious, beautiful views from the balcony and master bedroom.Overall, in our honest opinion, the cabin itself was just ok. The beds were a bit too firm but very clean and we rested well, it’s an older home so everything creeks and you could hear everything even very low conversations. There are some things in the house that need attention, the blinds for the master was broken so while we were changing the blinds were opened, maybe not a big deal for others but we didn’t like that. The second floor bathroom has a window in the shower that was wide open when we got there and we couldn’t lock.
