Large Family Friendly Chalet With Panoramic Mountain Views
Chalet Le Cretet is located on the edge of the beautiful village of Samoens, in one of the most sought after locations on a south facing hillside with panoramic views of the mountains and the Giffre Valley. From the living room, dinning room, double bedroom and the veranda over there are views of the River Giffre and valley and the mountains to the South, and from the kitchen you have views of L'Aouille du Criou mountain and the the Col de Joux Plane. In fact every room in the chalet has mountain views . The chalet has a large games room on the lower ground floor with a Pool table, Table Tennis and Foosball/Table Football which makes it great for families. The lounge and dinning area are open plan with the kitchen just off it. In winter you can sit in front of an open fire and in Summer you can sit outside and enjoy watching the wildlife or parapents fly past.

Very good

The photos for this property need updating. It does not overlook a green hill, it overlooks a large abandoned building site, directly below the chalet. The property is very tired, the beds, particularly the metal bunk beds, made so much noise we could only have people sleeping on the bottom bunks. The house itself is extremely noisy/creaky and you can hear EVERY movement, throughout the house at all times, especially at night. The wifi signal is extremely weak/does not work and there is very limited phone signal, meaning any work had to be done from the middle of town, not from the property. It was not possible to stream anything, even music. Only one source of hot water can be used at a time, i.e. you can’t have two showers running. On the plus side, the location was good, walking distance from the town centre and the swimming lake and there were amazing views up and down the valley.
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!
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
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.
La chalet, facile d'accès, offre tout le confort pour un excellent séjour et un beau point de départ pour tous. Nous étions 12 de 7 à 77 ans, et chacun a pu profiter de ses vacances en fonction de ses envies et possibilités. Un grand merci aux Blue Dogs qui gèrent l'entrée, le départ, et qui sont aussi réactifs et gentils en cas de besoin.
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
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.

Chalet agréable avec belle emplacement.
Propreté a l’arrivée Laisse à désirer .
Ce chalet manque d’entretien.manque éclairages ,flexible douche percé,robinet qui fuit.
Poubelles pleine a l’arrivée malgré appelle au numéro téléphone communiqué par l’hote
Dommage ce chalet pourrait être super.
Nous avons adoré le chalet, spacieux, pratique, commode proche de tout. La vue sur le balcon ou côté jardin était vraiment appréciable. Le voisinage est adorable, nos jeunes ont adoré se promener dans le coin et visiter la région qui est plus que magnifique. Nous avons pu échanger avec Peter très facilement. Disponible et très agréable dans l échange. Cet endroit nous a permis de nous sentir comme chez nous.
Je recommande vraiment pour les groupes , ou familles

Locatie waar veel te doen is echter wel wat gedateerd
Veel te doen vooral voorzieningen buiten waren wat mager betreffende zitgelegenheid
Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour dans ce chalet agréable, nous étions 8 adultes et 8 enfants de 9 à 17ans.salle de jeu spacieuse ou les enfants ont passé leurs soirées à s'amuser. Location à 15 min à pied du centre de Samoens où il fait bon se promener ,bon domaine skiable pour les skieurs alpin,belle rando à pied ou ski de fond pour les autres. il y en a pour tout le monde.
Chalet parfaitement adapté à notre séjour d’hiver ski/raquettes. Salle de chaussures et grand garage. Pièce principale également on pouvait tous s’asseoir à 12 adultes. Canap és non fragiles. Cuisine ok.
5 ch et une chambre enfant 4 lits superposés.
Belle vue sur la montagne.
Pas très loin du centre du village.
A revoir peut-être:
Qq matelas à ressort moins conforts
Bancs de la salle à manger pas toujours stables.
Tres bon séjour merci Peter et Natalie

Un chalet familial très apprécié des enfants et assez commode.
Le chalet est bien situé (vue dégagée, près du village et chemins proches) et la salle de jeux en sous-sol appréciée des enfants (et des adultes installés à l'étage du séjour). Les personnes ayant le sommeil léger peuvent être gênées par le bruit (parquet et escalier grincent, les conversations du séjour sont perçues depuis les chambres situées au-dessus). L'entretien du chalet laisse à désirer, le ménage et la mise à disposition du linge également mais le propriétaire en a été avisé et prévoit de changer de personne responsable de ces tâches, actuellement très déficiente. Les indications pour arriver au chalet sont trop succinctes. Il est notamment difficile de prendre le chemin empierré, situé dans un virage à droite, donc invisible à l'avance : il faudrait les compléter par des repères, photos ou plan précis. Nonobstant ces importantes observations, nous étions en vacances et nous avons bien profité de ce séjour. Il y a en effet un éventail de randonnées et activités pour adultes, jeunes et enfants.
Grand chalet pour séjour familial (14pers) 6 chambres. RdC grande salle de jeux ( billard , ping-pong, babyfoot ). Géré à distance par le propriétaire anglais (paiement en £). Bon emplacement, calme, centre ville de Samoëns à 10min à pied.
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!
We, 3 families spent a week in the chalet. It is really spacious and the game-room is great, all of us had fun spending time there, as the weather for skiing wasn‘t the best.
The only negative point was the cleanliness of the chalet. The cleaning lady just arrived at the check-in time and did a very quick clean, which wasn‘t very satisfying. It probably was because of the holiday season, as she had lots of houses to clean that day. But we had a great time, enough space for all and enjoyed the house, as skiing was limited due to the weather. It‘s a 15 minute walk to the cosy town center, cute little shops, a good bakery and a lovely ice-rink. So perfect for large groups or 2-3 families.
