Each of three floors has a bedroom and full bath. Total beds: one King two queen, three twins, two queen sofa beds. Great for couples, kids, and well-behaved pets (see below, please).

With 3600 square feet of living space, the chalet offers several gathering areas, including two separate living rooms, a game table, a dining area, a 15x25' fire pit patio (Winter weather permitting), and a welcoming kitchen furnished down to the cookbooks. The kitchen also features a really cool induction cooktop and cookware. There are games galore and hundreds of interesting books in the library.

Artisan stone mason Simon Shultz created magnificent two-story stone columns that support the outside deck overlooking the photoready Hidden Valley. At the heart of Rye Chalet, a spectacular three-story stone core. A charming custom-built spiral staircase connects all three floors.

    Book this – you will not regret it. Hands down the best host we’ve ever had. We truly felt like it mattered to Kevin that we enjoyed every part of our stay – and we did. Everything in the chalet is thoughtfully laid out, with all of the things you need, and no clutter that is not needed. Very clean and just a cozy place to be. I like to cook and this is the only VRBO we’ve ever stayed at that I actually ENJOYED using the kitchen. We appreciated how well lit the inside and outside are for walking around at night. The deck lives up to expectations, and some part of it is always shady. The property around the Chalet is amazing. Approx a .4 mile loop that was perfectly maintained (I walked it in my flip flops a few times). Our pup was in heaven. Also I’m not sure if this is normal for the area, but there were no mosquitos. This may just be the perfect vacation rental. It really shows that it is taken care of with love. We all would have definitely been happy to stay longer, and hope to be back again. Thank you so much for sharing this place with us!

    This was our second stay at the chalet and it will not be our last. Accommodations were super. Chalet is spotless and roomy. Owners are responsive ti all inquiries. A perfect spot for much needed family time.

    My family was so fortunate to find this wonderful home away from home. We lacked for nothing. The three floors allowed us privacy when needed and the middle floor accommodated our large family comfortably and cozily. The kitchen had all the supplies for all of us to be comfortably seated AND the kitchen table was big enough to seat 9 of us with room to spare. The location was peaceful. There are many activities to participate in in the area. We especially liked Merck forest but would have been just as content staying in the whole time. We are hoping to return again for round 2. The location was peacefucouches

    Very nice and clean property with a beautiful view from the deck! The fire pit was lovely in the evening and the host supplied ingredients for making s’mores! The sky was completely clear and we enjoyed star gazing while we enjoyed the fire! The host provided quick responses to questions I asked and provided amazingly detailed information about the property, which was very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend the Rye Chalet to others and hope to stay again soon!!!

    We stayed here with a group of friends for a mountain biking trip. We have stayed up at Kingdom Trails for the past 9 yrs and were looking to change it up. This spot was perfect! Close to all three trail heads, plenty of space for everyone indoors and out, great parking situation, not too far from town but felt very secluded. We had some questions about where things were stored while we were there and the hosts were incredibly responsive. Truly 5 star experience!
