House was great!
House was big, close to town and able to walk everywhere. Loved that we didn't need a car. Just FYI--TV is quite small for the living area. The TV did not work for us anyways which was another issue but the owner was going to look into it. The washer and dryer are very small for a house that size so plan accordingly. Otherwise house was great for our family of 6.

Fantastic week in chamonix
Chalet Oscar is in a fantastic location central to town. We had a big group (6 adults and one infant) which works well in the layout of the chalet. It is only 8 mins walk to a great bakery, 2 minutes walk to a fantastic bar and about 10 minute into the centre of town. Access to activities was brilliant and we got free train passes from the tourist office which made for a great week when not much else was open. The chalet has a great layout with the ground floor being completely self contained (its own kitchen / living area). Only minor issue was the traffic noise if staying on the top floor of the chalet from early morning. Great host communication!

Lovely chalet
Can’t fault anything about the chalet. The accommodation is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped; everything has been well thought through. We rented this as part of my partner’s 50th birthday celebrations with family joining us for some of the stay. They were all very impressed with the chalet, and although we had a full house it never felt crowded.

This was a great house for our family of 7. Everything was just a few minutes walk or bus ride for us. Easy walk to access Monte Blanc Gondola. Also away from the noise of town center. Great views.

Chamonix spring getaway
Family of 5 in the springtime - plenty of room to spread out but still come together for meals and social time. The house is clean, modern, and well-appointed. Some of us really enjoyed the sauna after a day of hiking. Things to note - the house is on 3 levels. You can get a car near levels 1 and 2 for loading/unloading. The master is on the top level with a small winding staircase. The entrance for Aiguille du Midi is an easy 7-10 minute walk mostly downhill. You can watch the cable cars go up/down from the house. While there's a pizza restaurant close by, most of the main part of town is a 15-20 minute walk.

Excellent New Year's Skiing Trip
Weve just returned from an excellent family skiing holiday in Chamonix. The chalet made the holiday. It's been exquisitely renovated and decarated and is perfect for relaxing after a long day skiing. The boot dryer was an excellent addition. We can't fault our stay and are already looking into booking for next year. Thank you Grant for being an excellent host.

All 7 people in our group thought this a fantastic place, even better than shown in the photos. The chalet exudes quality, the owner is very friendly and helpful and the neighbourhood is excellent. We tried most of the recommendations in the welcome pack and agreed with them too. We all look forward to staying here again!

A Fabulous French Alps Retreat
We just returned from our stay at Chalet Oscar and my house is disappointing compared to where we just living! Grant's perfectly renovated chalet is just amazing. Everything is brand new, sparkling clean, and luxurious. The three upstairs bedrooms all have their own bathrooms so all the adults in our party had privacy. We left the entire downstairs to the kids, who had to share showers/bathrooms but there was plenty of room for everyone. The dining area is all sliding doors which we had open for every meal. We ate a few breakfasts/lunches in town but had dinner in the chalet every night. The town is walking distance from the chalet and we went there each day, including taking the gondola to the top of the mountain. There are also several hikes that are within walking distance from the chalet. I have to comment that although we were there in the summer and were not skiing, this chalet has the most unbelievable area for storing ski equipment. It is like nothing I have ever seen. There is a separate entrance where you would take off all your ski clothes and store ski equipment and it would not be in your way at all during your stay. There is also a sauna and huge shower outside the sauna which we did not use in the summer weather. The master suite (which is where I stayed) is a treat as it has its own loft and sitting area. The house is decorated very stylishly - plenty of fur which we loved! We were 8 people in total and we were very comfortable, but you could definitely fit more if they were couples (double beds). Do not hesitate to rent this chalet - it was amazing!

Fantastic chalet, spacious and beautifully designed...
Grant from start to finish was extremely professional and helpful. The chalet is absolutely perfect, spacious and has all you need for your stay. After a days skiing/hiking it's great to relax in the sauna. Chilling in the evening with a glass of wine overlooking the beautiful mountains is amazing. Perfect location, walking distance to the town centre and short drives to many of the ski lifts.. Loved it all, wish we could of stayed a few more days. We hope to return. 😁

The interior was clean, spacious, and offered plenty of modern amenities for the entire group. The Chalet is <10 minute walk to Chamonix Sud Bus Station and the Midi lift allowing for easy access to all mountains in Chamonix Valley and Courmayeur.

Beautiful Ski chalet in the heart of Chamonix
We were fortunate to have found this wonderful chalet. We were a family of 5 on holiday with another family of 5 (2 grandmas in the group). We all had privacy as all rooms have private bathrooms and showers. We were amazed the hot water was enough for all 10 in the group! The living area is gorgeous with beautiful views. Two washing machines downstairs were a nice touch. Loved the room to enter after skiing with the area to hang boots to warm! Wow! The interiors were done with great taste. Cant wait togo back..
