Please note: To reach the cabin, you'll enjoy several steps leading through different levels, adding to the charm of being among the high trees with an incredible view. The driveway is a bit steep, but that's part of the beauty of our elevated location! During winter, when the snow blankets the area, we provide plowing services to keep things accessible. We do recommend wearing proper snow boots for a comfortable walk up and down the driveway in snowy conditions. Come experience the magic of the Stairway to Heaven Chalet—where every corner invites you to relax, play, and create lasting memories!
Other Details to Note
No refunds for weather-related cancellations. You’ll have full guest access, except for a few locked owner closets. No central AC, but no worries! There are ceiling fans in all bedrooms and the living room, plus a portable AC unit in the loft to keep things cool. We kindly ask guests to remove their shoes when entering the chalet. Bringing cozy slippers is a great idea, especially in the winter! On snowy days or after a fun day of skiing, the mudroom is the perfect place to store your gear. Strong WiFi is available for all your online needs, but please note that cell service may be spotty in the area. Verizon works best, but if your signal drops, you can easily make calls via WiFi (just enable WiFi calling in your phone’s settings). We highly recommend jotting down driving directions and any important check-in info before you arrive, as cell service (especially for AT&T users) can become limited once you’re near the cabin. In winter, our driveway is professionally plowed. 4x4 vehicles are recommended for the area, and be sure to wear sturdy shoes or snow boots to prevent slipping on the driveway, which has a slope. For extra convenience, there’s a shovel provided for the short 15ft path and steps leading to the house, just in case you need it. For your convenience, we have a high chair, pack-and-play, kids books, toys, and games available when traveling with kids. Before you depart, please return items to their original locations.
