About the Chalet
Pinecrest Chalet offers a variety of accommodations to meet the lodging needs of any size family or group.
Our popular mini-chalets promise quaint lodging in one-room cabin suites complete with fully stocked kitchens, gas burning fireplaces, full baths, two queen size beds and cathedral knotty pine ceilings. Also, you have the option to choose a more intimate chalet featuring a king sized bed and Jacuzzi tub.
Spacious townhouses and deluxe cabins offer two to four bedrooms, fully stocked kitchens, and large living rooms with wood burning fireplaces, perfect for family and group entertaining.
If simplicity is more your style, our non-kitchen cottages offer lodging amenities at a very modest price. These one room bungalows sleep two to four and include shower baths and basic cooking conveniences.
Though we are first and foremost a family-oriented recreation resort, we frequently host ski clubs, church groups, hiking clubs, scout troops, and even weddings. During the summer season, our guests enjoy swimming in a heated pool nestled among the pines. We also offer an amphitheatre, seasonal basketball, volleyball, disc golf, and horseshoes. Wi-Fi and coffee service are also complimentary.
