Large Chalet in a great location
Plenty of room in the Chalet for our group and nice to have the games room as well, not something we've had before. The location suited us well, we could walk into the village each evening for a meal (15-20min) with plenty of restaurants to choose from and just a short drive to the ski lift with free parking. You will need your own car and the Chalet is an older one but that was reflected in the listing just don't expect it to be brand new

Splendid summer holidays home!
We had a wonderful time during our stay in Samoens. The house was very spacious, with good sleeping places for all and the garden was excellent for breakfast and diner. We and our 5 children especially liked the playroom. We had much fun with the pool-table and the table-tennis. The surroundings were perfect for many beautifull walks. Easy going and more challenging. Samoens centre is small, but lovely, with several restaurants and a nice village square. The swimmingpool on walking distance was nice. The house and the location is really to be recommended!

Superb place for family with teenagers
We had a great stay here. It was everything we had hoped for and the online listing is very accurate. For our children aged 7 to 17 the games room was brilliant. No boredom. There was plenty of space for 16 of us. Plenty of toilets and nice rooms. We were skiing in UK and French February half term and whilst it was busy the lift waits were shorter than I've experienced elsewhere. The village is beautiful and about 8 minutes walk away. Bus to the Gondola less than 5 minutes walk.

A well located property with lovely views, some real bonus features and outstanding communication!
On arrival we communicated with the local contact who was immediately available. Access to the property was immediate and there was ample bed and living space for the 15 of us. The drying room was just the job, views were fabulous, neighbours were lovely and communication from the owner was simply outstanding, right from pre-booking enquiry to post stay. (The communication makes it so much more enjoyable as any uncertainty can taint a holiday). Thank you, Peter! A real bonus to this property is the games room. A good table tennis table, fusball and a level pool table. There is plenty of elbow (cueing room) which wasn't obvious from the picture, and we used the room every day. The children (including those in their 30's, 40's and 60's absolutely loved it :-) ).

Très beau chalet
Nos vacances se sont très bien passées dans votre chalet l’espace jeu a été très apprécié par la famille des tournois de billard ont été organisés ainsi que le babyfoot très bien Autrement mais quelques petites remarques chambre du bas lits superposés bougent beaucoup et l’autre chambre du bas pas de clé pour ouvrir les placards voir l’état des matelas surtout les lits simples Robinet de la cuisine fuit mauvais écoulement des eaux usés du bac à vaisselle s’écoule difficilement Conclusion nous avons passés un agréable séjour et très apprécié par notre famille Salutations Madame et Monsieur Bernier

Wonderful traditional chalet with modern conveniences
The chalet Le Crêtet lives up to its description as a spacious traditional chalet and the kids LOVED it... especially the games room which left us a bit of peace while preparing meals or in the lounge. The chalet is all wood, so creaky, and noise travels. The grassy area outside and views are perfect. Two super bathrooms and three separate toilets. Everything clean except under beds on 4-bunk dormitory. Short walk into Samoëns to get very cheap and handy shuttle buses to a variety of great destinations. It is in easy walking distance of the Base de Loisirs (lakes, big wooded park and water activities). Criticisms: not enough electric plugs, poor lighting in some bedrooms, dud switch in downstairs bedroom. Not really enough space for clothing in some rooms (downstairs double, upstairs double and upstairs 2 singles...) as most cupboards locked. Dining room benches short and easily unbalanced, so people kept falling off the end! Kitchen not really adequate for 16 people (we were 11): fridge space limited, cooker a bit small, oven not hot enough to cook or grill, hob not hot enough to boil large saucepan or fry. Too many saucepans, but only one water jug! TV doesn't work. DVD player does, but bring your own DVDs. Well that said, we really enjoyed our stay and when we left, the kids were all saying goodbye to the chalet as to a friend!

Bon rapport qualité prix
Le chalet est propre, bien situé et l’hôte disponible. Évidemment pour ce prix, il ne faut pas s’arrêter sur les détails. Par exemple le wifi n’a pas fonctionne du séjour et les deux lits superposés étaient inutilisable (réparés en cours de séjour), la fenêtre du salon ferme tres mal. En résumé : on est pas du tout dans le luxe, pas vraiment dans le confort, mais on est quand même pas mal! :) Je recommande à ce prix imbattable.
