The Story of Guest Chalet email us
Once upon a time... we bought a chalet after a family tragedy - the goal was to support our young family by renting and managing it. We also wanted to offer Christian ministries a beautiful and affordable retreat centre. But too much of the time the rentals didn't cover the expenses so an office job was in order. Over the years the chalet has been used as long-term seasonal housing, short-term stays with private groups, hosted retreats, events and family reunions.
As time went by the area has exploded into an all-season resort and activity destination and with it came major house renovations to maximize its high-end rental potential. For a couple of years our rental business boomed... until we learned that we can accept only one private rental per 28-day period. Ugh! The GOOD NEWS is that the chalet is available for us to use more often. The BAD NEWS is that only one rental per month doesn't cover the ongoing expenses.

... "when you're itching to get away, just check the dates and let us know you're coming." |
So we put on our creative thinking caps to find a way of sustaining the chalet. The idea of hosting Guest Chalet emerged in 2013 with a sense of peace and excitement that it is a win-win solution all-around. We now offer an OPEN INVITATION to select friends to join us at Guest Chalet on available weekends... think of it as an exclusive B&B. When you're itching for a weekend away, just check the dates and let us know you're coming.
