We have prepared the chalet for these events, but we cannot guarantee all amenities' availability due to these circumstances beyond our control.

We and our cleaner follow the
A fully-stocked kitchen with high-end appliances
Just the place to cook up a meal with some delicious local produce and ingredients.
We love cooking with friends, and you’ll find this kitchen is set up to handle a crowd. High-end stainless steel appliances include an induction range, KitchenAid dishwasher, and LG fridge.
At most Airbnb’s, you’re not likely to find a box grater or a garlic press, but our kitchen has you covered with the same kitchen tools you might expect to find at home, as well as pantry essentials like oil, brown sugar, and spices.
Green, cruelty-free purchases and practices
We are a California certified green business, and we are committed to doing our part to preserve wilderness areas in the Sierras. For the full story, check out our Sustainability page, but some of our sustainable practices include:
We are in the process of converting the chalet to solar energy.
We buy all-natural products in bulk to reduce our plastic consumption and stock our dispensers with high-quality body wash shampoo and conditioner.
Our duvets and pillows are made with cruelty-free down alternative and shredded microfiber — a win for comfort and compassion.
We choose cleaning products that are safe for use around kids and pets and prefer companies whose practices help sustain wilderness areas.
All of the products we use and offer are free of phthalates, parabens, silicones, sulfates, and triclosan.
Outdoor living spaces
If you’re cooking for twenty, our grill is the key to a delicious, low-fuss dinner that is sure to please. The chef is never far from the action, and the view of sunset from the grill and the deck is the best in the house. At night, the heaters keep the deck nice and toasty for stargazing.
The sunroom’s “secret” television
We designed the sunroom to be capable of showing a movie, but without focusing exclusively on the TV. Our Samsung Frame TV does such a great job of blending in we’ve had guests call because they couldn’t find the TV!
We also subscribe to just about everything, so you can watch channels you don’t get at home: HBOmax, Disney+, ESPN+, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and more. And if that’s not enough, you can stream just about anything from your phone or computer to the TV via AirPlay or Chromecast.
