The Space:
Kindly be aware that this property is situated within a community that mandates guest registration. To ensure compliance, all necessary documentation must be submitted at least four days prior to check-in. Failure to do so will result in a $100 late fee, which we will request from guests. This fee applies even if the booking is made within the four-day window preceding check-in.
Experience the pinnacle of comfort and leisure at our magnificent 4-bedroom chalet, nestled within the serene 4-season Hideout community. As you approach this idyllic retreat, your first glimpse will be our expansive elevated front deck, thoughtfully appointed with ample seating and a convenient gas grill, setting the tone for a truly memorable stay.
Step inside, and you'll be captivated by the inviting atmosphere of the first floor. A spacious open concept living room seamlessly flows into the dining area and an upgraded kitchen. Adjacent to this culinary haven, you'll discover a screened-in porch, the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine in the evening. Completing this floor is a full bathroom featuring a custom shower and a generously-sized tub, along with three bedrooms, each graced with King-sized beds. One of these bedrooms even boasts a trundle bed, providing extra sleeping accommodations for your convenience. For added convenience, a laundry area is discreetly tucked away in the hallway.

The master bedroom reigns supreme on this floor, boasting its own ensuite bathroom, complete with a custom shower and a luxurious soaker tub.

But the pleasures of this chalet extend beyond its beautifully appointed interior. The basement, a haven of entertainment, promises an array of exciting options for all ages. Discover an additional bonus room with a trundle bed, a TV, and an Xbox, perfect for cozy movie nights or gaming adventures. Meanwhile, in the other part of the basement, entertainment takes center stage.

For those with a nostalgic streak, there are even classic arcade games to transport you back in time.

Once the complimentary essentials are done, guests are responsible to supply their own.
The house is equipped with cooking ware such as pots pans, plates, utensils baking dishes etc. Personal grocery items such as seasoning, flour, sugar etc. are at the responsibility of the guests.
Q. Can you check in early or check out late?
A. We won't know if this is possible until the day before check in. The reason is if we have a guest leaving the day you are arriving our team needs enough time to ensure the house is ready for your arrival. In the event they finish early we can let you in earlier. For a late check out, it will depend on if we have a booking arriving that day. One way to ensure you getting either of these options is to book the day before or the day after your desired stay . This way if you want to book Friday-Sunday but you want to arrive at 9am on Friday, if you book Thursday the house will be available for you any time after check in time on Thursday.
Q. Do you offer any discounts ?
A. Our listed pricing is the best possible price we offer. There are bigger discounts that get applied for each day you add from 3 days and up .

Guests will be able to let themselves in with a code via a smart lock and will have no interaction with the home owner.
