The Chaletlées (Housekeeping Cabins) were built in 1947; have knotty pine interiors and all but one have kitchenettes which include a 2-burner stove-top (no oven), dormitory-size refrigerator, basic eating and cooking utensils, a coffee maker, toaster, and a counter with stools. We do suggest that you bring along a cooler for extra storage of perishables. Our one-bedroom units consist of a front area with a queen bed and adjacent kitchen area. The two-bedroom units have the kitchen area adjacent to a 2 twin bed sleeping area, and a rear bedroom with a queen bed.
All units have electricity, hot and cold running water, and a bathroom with a shower. There are no telephones, TVs, radios, toaster ovens, microwaves or hair driers. Bedding and linens are provided, and a midweek cleaning is provided for 7 day stays. Most Chaletlées are set up as double units that share a common front deck. They are located on the mountainside above Echo Lake, and require a very short hike. The foot path is unlit and we suggest you bring flashlights.
The above map may prove helpful in choosing a specific Chaletlée – especially for our first-time guests. The lower Chaletlées (#7, and #8) have an unobstructed view of Lower Echo Lake through the pines (which have grown significantly since the units were first built), and are somewhat easier to access via the foot trail.
Please note that Chaletlées #1 and 2 have been combined into a single, accessible unit #12. Also, Chaletlée #11 has been converted to a single unit (suite) with a large front deck and full kitchen. Unfortunately, Chaletlees #11 and #12 sustained significant damage in the winter of 2023 and both units require extensive repairs.

Pet Policy: For many years the Chalet has allowed quiet, housebroken, pets in our Chaletlees. Unfortunately, we have sustained significant damage along with noise and nuisance complaints, and are now re-considering our pet-friendly policy. For the present time pets will be allowed with a $200 security deposit (separate check please) to be returned if no damage is noted on the post-checkout inspection. No more than two pets are allowed, and a cleaning fee of $75 per pet will be charged at the time of booking confirmation. Pets are never to be left unattended in the Chaletlees.
