Comfort, convenience and luxury were key in the design of this mountain retreat: original stone walls, floor heating, and luxurious materials. The floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple skylights offer incomparable view of the Mont-Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, the Taconnaz glacier and the Chamonix Valley. We have our own chef that can make the food of your choice, and a concierge that can help you during your stay at Chalet l’Orignal.

13 friends enjoyed Original Chalet for a week in late June.
Carmen and Andreea were responsive with any questions we had before we arrived. Carmen arranged for a Chef's dinner our first night so we we could relax in the Chalet without cooking and cleaning. I would highly recommend that! Andreea gave us a tour of the house when we arrived and stopped by midweek to see if we needed anything. The house is clean, large and comfortable. Each bedroom has a full modern bathroom. the hot tub and sauna were fun and we used them often throughout the week. The kitchen has everything we needed (and more!) to cook large dinners. I would recommend this chalet for families, friends and business retreats. Finally, the Chamonix experience is excellent. The town is set up for tourists, the shopkeepers and restaurants are friendly. The hiking and stunning views are the best in the world! Many thanks for a great week!

We really enjoyed our time here. Its walking distance from the shops, bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and the sauna and jacuzzi were wonderful after a day of activities. The kitchen was fantastic with two fridges, ovens, dishwashers,sinks and a big island. Andreea was amazing as our host. Highly recommend!

8 en suite bedrooms and a gorgeous kitchen and living room. Highly recommend for a group of friends. A walk to the bus stop and a decent journey to the major ski lifts, but a worthy compromise for such a great house! And the hosts were super accommodating for check in and check out.

Voor de tweede keer en weer een feest om hier te verblijven
Met onze (klein) kinderen hebben we voor de tweede keer een week gelogeerd in dit heerlijk huis. Op loopafstand van het centrum van Chamonix en met uitzicht op de mont blanc!
De ruime, luxe , en verzorgde kamers, maakten dat iedereen zich op zijn gemak voelde. De volledige inventaris maakte dat er nergens gebrek aan was. De ontvangst en communicatie was hartelijk. Bij vragen werd er meteen gereageerd. Er zou wat klein onderhoud gepleegd moeten worden aan de buitenkant van het huis, maar dat stond ons heerlijke verblijf zeker niet in de weg. We hebben een fantastische week gehad. Dank daarvoor!

Une belle parenthèse en haute montagne
Le logement est spacieux pour 14 avec beaucoup de charme, des prestations haut de gamme, un emplacement idéal avec un accès au centre ville à pied et une vue juste magique, au top depuis le jacuzzi! L'accueil avec champagne et petits fours est à la hauteur de la location. Un grand merci à Giulia pour sa prévenance et sa gentillesse. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, bienvenu en cette période post-COVID!

Top huis
Eindelijk een huis gevonden die voldoet voor een grote familie. Prachtige slaapkamers met eigen douche, fantastische keuken met grote inductiekookplaat en goed kookgerei. Mensen zijn toppie. Nadeel is kleine tuin doordat grote jacuzzi veel ruimte inneemt. En dan het uitzicht op de Mont Blanc!

Occasionally we have been disappointed that VRBO selections are not as represented online, but this experience was the opposite - it was terrific and more than met expectations! Despite some construction going on adjacent to the property, we felt no infringement on our privacy, and the property could not have been better. There were thirteen of us, which meant separate bedrooms, all with bath and shower, for most.The huge, well equipped kitchen more than met expectations and provided flexibility for all of our needs, and the dining table was perfect for everyone. We had a chef catered meal one night, and the chef said that it was her favorite kitchen in the area. There was virtually every amenity you could think of in the house, and the hot tub got plenty of use. The house was clean and set up for functionality. The view was great, with Mont Blanc staring at us as we had coffee (or drinks!) on the outside patio. Parking for three vehicles was no problem, and the location was perfect for a quick walk into town, or exploring many of the attractions.We were fortunate to be able to extend our stay two additional nights (wish it could have been more), for a total of 6 nights. The management group was terrific as well (Mountainbase), professional, communicated well, and extremely helpful. Dealing with the owners was also a very positive experience, as responses were timely, and they really made us feel like we were welcomed guests in their home. We had a wonderful experience, and would hope to return some day from the States.
Thank you everyone for helping to make our family memories unforgettable!

pieno relax!
Siamo stati molto bene ! Eravamo un bel gruppo di 15 persone di cui 8 ragazzini dai 10 ai 14 anni , ci siamo trovati in una condizione di totale relax e conforts .
La casa e’ molto bella ed organizzata perfettamente per soggiornare anche fino a 18 persone completa di tutto piatti bicchieri ecc...a due piacevoli passi dal centro del paese e quindi ai negozi di prima necessità.
Facilmente raggiungibili anche le strutture di risalita per raggiungere le piste da sci.

amazing luxury mansion in the heart of Chamonix
Booked the house for an anniversary with 12 friends. Ideal location in quiet street, just 300m South of Chamonix shoppingstreets and cafees. Everybody was blown away by the greatness and luxury of the house. From bedroom and livingroom you wake up to direct views of Aguille de midi and Chamonix valley. Massive wooden carpentry and every room has its own bathroom. Nice Jacuzzi and sauna and a small separate Chalet in the garden as a small apt on its own. The price for the hpouse is high, but so are the standard. Would love to stay here again, but need to gather a lot of friends to share the costs. Highly recommended. MountainBase that organiced the rental was very helpful.
