Overview

L'Alpiniste Souriant

You'll be grinning ear-to-ear when you arrive at this incredible mountain chalet. Hand-built by a local artist and mountaineer, this three-bedroom retreat captures the spirit of Wy'east with custom art, furnishings, and metalwork accents, creating a beautiful Timberline Lodge-like aesthetic. The home also boasts prime convenience, with cross-country skiing and snowshoe trails accessible right out the front door and a short, two-block walk to shopping, bars, and dining in Government Camp. A true gem of local craftsmanship, the home comes fully furnished from top to bottom with rustic-inspired comfort and all the modern amenities equipped for family comfort. The kitchen features cool cement counters and a full suite of appliances for handling home cooking with ease. The open living area sets the stage for group gatherings with sofas and an eight-seater dining table anchored by an impressive wood-burning fireplace. A cozy upstairs nook features a living area with a TV and assortment of books, plus a semi-private office space equipped for remote working with a dedicated desk and drafting table. Additional home essentials include free WiFi and a private washer/dryer. The private deck area makes an ideal spot for morning coffee or post-hike and apres-ski cocktails.

Vintage cabin in a super convenient location

Rebecca M2025-07-19

We loved the location and the spacious home, really comfortable, obviously a well loved family home. Lots of games, lots of dishes and serving platters, lovely big dining table. Needs outdoor furniture and the beds are old, but lovely experience

The owner and Vacasa did not respond to our issue of no heat, freezing temp inside...got up to 52 degrees, frozen shower drain so we couldn't use the shower, breaker flipping when we used the space heaters, and broken oven that would not turn on. They refused to help us except finally to give us some wood. They ignored all other issues...they said they would give a credit for these things but did not follow through. I have never ever given a bad review for anything before, including a rental. But this time it was just beyond belief that they did not take care of things! The house is cute, quaint, and we really liked it, but the living conditions were terrible because of the cold and the cooking conditions. I hope they follow through on the credit. We had to spend alot of money buying wood, because you do need to heat with wood, and owner does not provide it!!! :( Grrrr

My family spent the last weekend of the year at the charming Alpiniste Souriant. It's a beautiful property within walking distance of town. The only downside is that it gets quite cold in winter, relying on the fireplace for heat. Despite that, it's a cozy and delightful spot!

We loved the location and bones of this home. It clearly was a labor of love with a great history. It does need a few repairs and updates. A good deep cleaning to remove some of the dust and pet dander would be good.
