Accessibility

Neighborhood

Guest Access

Guests have full private access to the entire Lux Mountain Chalet home, including the chalet, deck, firepit, and hot tub areas. The property provides ample gravel parking for up to six vehicles — perfect for families or groups traveling separately. Please park only on the gravel areas, not on the grass. The gravel road leading to the home is well-maintained, but because of our mountain setting, we recommend an AWD or 4WD vehicle during winter months for peace of mind. There’s also space for a large horse trailer near the additional paddock if needed.

Great place for a family to come to relax, we enjoyed the scenery and the hot tub. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and everyone had room. 4 wheel drive is definitely a nice to have on the driveway but not necessary. Love the view.

The whole trip was amazing and the best part was the house. The scenery and views all around were incredible as well as the interior being exceptionally clean and beautiful! We had no complaints or issues with anything, the family absolutely loved it. Host was very responsive and friendly. Great getaway vacation for anyone looking for someplace to enjoy a nice view throughout the day and comforting surroundings all around.

The setting is unreal — endless rolling hills, beautiful layered ridgelines, and a sky that looks hand-painted from sunrise to dusk. The air feels different out there. Quieter. Slower. Like the rest of the world doesn’t exist. Mornings were wrapped in stillness, just coffee and mountain views stretching for miles. Nights felt raw and intimate — no city noise, no distractions, just darkness, stars, and that deep mountain calm you don’t realize you’ve been missing, all whike you relax in the hot tub. It’s secluded without feeling disconnected, wild but comfortable. The kind of place where time bends a little and you actually exhale. Perfect for slipping away with someone and forgetting everything else. We didn’t just stay here — we experienced it. Can’t wait to go back. Pictures do not do it justice.

Trata-se de uma casa impecável um local lindo a anfitriã Michelle é uma pessoa maravilhosa muito atenciosa. A casa possui um tom de casa de campo com animais, cavalos entre outros e isso traz uma tranquilidade muito boa tive uma experiência muito agradável e faço as mais sinceras indicações pois realmente foi uma experiência muito boa tanto para mim como para toda a minha família.

We had a wonderful time here! I came out with some friends and it fit 7 of us perfectly and comfortably. The mountain view was absolutely stunning and I love the big windows so we can stare at it the entire trip. Everything was clean and felt ready for guests to be there. My friends and I enjoyed the clean and spacious hot tub as well as the firepit for s’mores. My only complaint would be the driveway is really steep, so if you live in flat land be careful driving up it. Still, 10/10 would pick this spot again!

Great place to stay! We loved the view. Our kiddos had a blast seeing the horses outside. Everything was so clean. The host was extremely responsive. We needed a pack and play and gate for the stairs to make it baby proof, and she made sure we had a gate there for our stay! There is only 1 bathroom for people to use that are not staying in the primary bedroom that had its own bathroom. The view was incredible!!! Highly recommend

We loved the place. Waking up seeing the horses on the window was a great experience. A complete kitchen for cooking and share with the family. We would highly recommend this place!
