Small but perfectly formed......
The little chalet may be small, but it is deceptively well equipped for two! Clearly a lot of careful thought went into it's conception, making it the perfect base to explore this beautiful part of France. Monika and Rene are the most charming of hosts, and will do all they can to make your stay as carefree as possible. They were very tolerant of our poor French! Les Houches may be small but boasts some good eating experiences and the new micro-brasserie is well worth a visit for both ale and food.
We cycled for a lot of our stay. Chamonix is within easy reach, and with a little more effort, so is the Swiss border via le Col des Montenets. We also made the effort to go through the tunnel to Courmaeyer - but if tempted be prepared for at least an hour queuing in both directions.
The walking is superb, and as for the massive overwhelming views.....
We certainly aim to return one day. Fantastic.

Fabulous views directly over the mountains and everything laid on
The owners Rene and Monika make sure you have everything you need. The chalet is charmingly rustic with shutters opening onto a stunning view. You sleep on a sofa bed which is very comfortable and all else is to hand. There are fabulous walks nearby and plenty to see and do in the area. There is even a free ticket for the Mont Blanc Express which has a free car park at the bottom of hill. We loved riding on it to reach beautiful walks, Chamonix and the Mer de Glace funicular train.

Tiny but Perfect and Highly Recommended
The mazot is very compact but it's warm and comfortable, works perfectly and is equipped with everything you need for your stay. Monika and Rene are very welcoming and helpful. The situation is simply magnificent with stunning views across the valley to the Chamonix Aiguilles and the approaches to Mont Blanc. We had a great week, including visits to Montenvers on the tramway, Le Brevent by bubble and Telepherique and took the Mont Blanc Express to Marigny in Switzerland for the day. A tip about the Mont Blanc Express; you change trains at Vallorcine on the Swiss / French border. Use your Chamonix Valley residents card/s to travel free on the train to Vallorcine on the French side and buy your ticket for the Swiss journey on the train.

Absolutely lovely experience , our hosts Monika and Renee were so helpful and friendly. Perfect.
The property is petit and full of character has everything you need. We stayed with our two Jack Russell's , eating in a number of times. The property warm and cosy. Lovely walks and close to the station for access to the village or Charmonix and further. My husband enjoyed skiing in Les Houches and Charmonix. The views from the cabin are amazing of the mountains. A real little treasure of a place!

Amazing stay
Our stay was amazing. Monika could not be anymore helpful. She was a great host and was always happy to help.
The cabin is in a idyllic location and has lots of charm. Nice to walk back in the dark and stumble across a herd of wild deer on many nights. The holiday was fantastic and would recommend the cabin.

Perfect
I stayed at this cottage with my partner for a whole week and I have to say that our stay was really amazing. The cottage itself is small and cosy but has everything you need including a fully equipped kitchen. The most amazing part of our stay was the view. Looking at the French alps from the window was absolutely breathtaking. In addition monika and rene were very helpful and did every they could to make our trip amazing.

Prachtige accommodatie, maar niet schoon. Versleten keukeninrichting.
Omgeving is geweldig. Jammer dat er maar een minuscuul plekje was wat gelegaliseerd was om buiten te zitten.
Mooi plekje, schattig huisje, maar alles zeer verouderd.

Très sympa petit mazot!
Une pépite dans les Alpes, bien agencé et confortable, mais un nouveau matelas pour le clic clac serait le bienvenu.
Quelques petits points à revoir sur la propreté: vaisselle, rangement vaisselle, poussière.
Mazot situé dans les hauteurs des Houches, proche des magnifiques randonnées et des bons restaurants.
Nous reviendrons avec plaisir si nos chemins nous mènent dans les Alpes à nouveau 😊

Très belle vue sur la chaîne du mont Blanc
Nous avons passé un séjour agréable, très belle vue sur la chaîne du Mont-Blanc la literie est très moyenne. Si vous regardez dans les coins, vous trouverez des toiles d’araignées, pour la douche, il serait plus sympa d’avoir une paroi de douche qu’un rideau !
Malgré toutes ces petites mésaventures, nous avons passé une semaine agréable

Wir durften bei bestem Wetter ein paar sehr schöne Tage in dem kleinen Chalet verbringen. Jeden Morgen Frühstück mit Blick auf den Mont Blanc. Und dann direkt vom Chalet aus loslaufen. Alles da was man braucht ist da und eine unkomplizierte liebenswerte Vermieterin.

Beste Lage, guter Preis, sehr freundliche Vermietung
Der Titel sagt eigentlich alles. Die Lage ist hervorragend mit direktem Blick auf das Mont Blanc Massiv. Die Straßen sind allerdings nichts für besonders tiefliegende Autos. Das Häuschen war sehr gemütlich und bietet alles, was man zum Leben braucht. Die Vermieterin ist unglaublich freundlich und lässt keine Wünsche offen.
Alles in allem kann ich nur positives von unserer Unterkunft berichten und sie an jeden und jede weiterempfehlen.
