Swiss Chalet Family Retreat w/ lake access

Welcome to our family's Swiss style chalet! Inspired by trips to Davos, Switzerland, our grandfather built the chalet in the 1950s to be a family playhouse and gathering spot for his 6 children. It's magic. Today, our large extended family still enjoys holiday celebrations here every year. Our kids love exploring the woodland trails and swimming in Center Pond. We hope you love it as much as we do!

Nelson is a quiet hamlet with lots of dirt roads to walk and a friendly, welcoming community. It will fulfill all of your New England small town dreams! There is a beautiful church across from the community mailboxes at the center common. If a game of frisbee or volleyball is happening, folks will probably be happy to have you join. There is a gorgeous friendly library, and not to be missed the longest running contra dance in New England, held every Monday night at the town hall. Nelson is near to a number of NH gems: Mt. Monadnock, Center Pond, Granite and Silver Lake, the Harrisville Store, also Keene and Peterborough for arts and dining. Nelson is rural. There isn’t a lot for public transportation. Let us know what you may need and we’ll see if we can recommend something.

We'll have fresh coffee beans and kitchen essentials for you, including a breakfast pastry. Clean sheets and towels are provided and washed with fragrance free detergent. We use non-toxic products to keep everyone safe and healthy.

The property has two downstairs apartments. The vrbo rental is the entire second floor and includes 17ft vaulted ceiling, 360 degree views with windows on all sides, all the comforts of home for you to enjoy and relax! You will access the space by the stairs in front.

We have some house rules to keep all tenets happy.
- Check in window is between 3:00 - 7:00 pm; Check out by 12:00 pm
- Quiet after 9 please. The noise carries down. If this is going to be a hard rule to follow, we respectfully ask you to please find a different place to stay.
- No shoes in the house please
- One parking space is available, additional parking on the road
- No fires in the large fireplace! (we do have a pellet stove and heat pumps to keep you comfortable in the shoulder seasons)
- Please leave the antique books in the shelves. Many are quite fragile.

If there is anything you need, please let us know!
