Doug and Gabi made our chalet purchase and later sale happen

Doug called me late in January 2002 and said "I have found a perfect chalet for you, at a great price!!!!"

we put an offer in quickly that night beating out two offers that came in the next day.  We bought it , closed it and renovated it in time for the Spring and Summer rental season.  My family enjoyed it for 5 years, Doug helped us rent it when we couldn't find renters and assisted us later in 2007 when we Sold it, for a considerable profit. 

Doug and Gabrielle will look for your special property, they will undoubtingly find it and even though we were hestitant we were so happy we jumped at it .  They are currently looking for our next purchase...stay tuned- we can hardly wait ourselves...

We arrived at the property, very nervous as to how reality would match thr pictures and the description we saw on the internet. We had no need need for nerves. Everything was thought of. Fruit in the basket, cupboards had the essentials even toilets, fully equiped!! extremely well equiped kitchen, roomy house, beautiful location. Very good value for money, just as described although we were asked to bring towels, and they had them in abundance at the property. We had a few communications with the owners before hand and at the property and at all times they were very helpful and considerate.

We very much enjoyed the total privacy and serenity of the pool area and back deck. We were very pleased with all the little extras found throughout the cottage and found nothing lacking. Its refreshing to go to a cottage and not have to bring all the little things (salt,pepper spices, kleenex, etc. etc.) This cottage was perfect for our weekend get-away and we would highly recommend this home to our friends and family be it for a weekend or longer. This cottage is definetly on the top of our list for a return visit."
