Too ough and not really ready
We’ve stayed in large houses rented for groups of our friends on ski vacations and have rented a wide range of accommodations in the United States and abroad. Chateau Cervin, while adequate, ranks at the bottom of the list of accommodations, at least if you take the owners at their word and fill the place up. First, it’s old and in need of an upgrade. Everything from beds to fixtures, to the kitchen is about a generation out of style, and a bit tatty. We actually fix most of our meals at the house, and the kitchen equipment is mostly outdated and inadequate. A knife sharpener, or some sharp knives, would have been a nice touch.
The organization of the structure is unusual and inconvenient. The living quarters are all on the second and third floors, and the game room, largely unutilized, is the entry room. The foosball table is a nice addition, but it’s missing men that would make it usable. The pool table is in poor repair.
The hot tub, an older model whose jets don’t work, is downstairs, in front, so that you’re on view getting in and out, and your own view is of the driveway.
It would have been nice if the door to the bathroom in the master bedroom latched and didn’t swing open when you were using the facilities.
Chateau Cervin is like a lot of ski rentals – fixed up just enough so that it can be rented, but not actually fixed up. We’re a pretty rough and ready group, but Chateau Cervin was a little too rough and not really ready.
