The chalet Le Crêtet lives up to its description as a spacious traditional chalet and the kids LOVED it... especially the games room which left us a bit of peace while preparing meals or in the lounge. The chalet is all wood, so creaky, and noise travels. The grassy area outside and views are perfect. Two super bathrooms and three separate toilets. Everything clean except under beds on 4-bunk dormitory. Short walk into Samoëns to get very cheap and handy shuttle buses to a variety of great destinations. It is in easy walking distance of the Base de Loisirs (lakes, big wooded park and water activities). Criticisms: not enough electric plugs, poor lighting in some bedrooms, dud switch in downstairs bedroom. Not really enough space for clothing in some rooms (downstairs double, upstairs double and upstairs 2 singles...) as most cupboards locked. Dining room benches short and easily unbalanced, so people kept falling off the end! Kitchen not really adequate for 16 people (we were 11): fridge space limited, cooker a bit small, oven not hot enough to cook or grill, hob not hot enough to boil large saucepan or fry. Too many saucepans, but only one water jug! TV doesn't work. DVD player does, but bring your own DVDs.
Well that said, we really enjoyed our stay and when we left, the kids were all saying goodbye to the chalet as to a friend!

Plenty of room in the Chalet for our group and nice to have the games room as well, not something we've had before. The location suited us well, we could walk into the village each evening for a meal (15-20min) with plenty of restaurants to choose from and just a short drive to the ski lift with free parking.
You will need your own car and the Chalet is an older one but that was reflected in the listing just don't expect it to be brand new

Très bon séjour!
Chalet parfaitement adapté à notre séjour d’hiver ski/raquettes. Salle de chaussures et grand garage. Pièce principale également on pouvait tous s’asseoir à 12 adultes. Canapés non fragiles. Cuisine ok.
5 ch et une chambre enfant 4 lits superposés.
Belle vue sur la montagne.
Pas très loin du centre du village.
A revoir peut-être:
Qq matelas à ressort moins conforts
Bancs de la salle à manger pas toujours stables.
Tres bon séjour merci Peter et Natalie

Un chalet familial très apprécié des enfants et assez commode.
Le chalet est bien situé (vue dégagée, près du village et chemins proches) et la salle de jeux en sous-sol appréciée des enfants (et des adultes installés à l'étage du séjour). Les personnes ayant le sommeil léger peuvent être gênées par le bruit (parquet et escalier grincent, les conversations du séjour sont perçues depuis les chambres situées au-dessus). L'entretien du chalet laisse à désirer, le ménage et la mise à disposition du linge également mais le propriétaire en a été avisé et prévoit de changer de personne responsable de ces tâches, actuellement très déficiente. Les indications pour arriver au chalet sont trop succinctes. Il est notamment difficile de prendre le chemin empierré, situé dans un virage à droite, donc invisible à l'avance : il faudrait les compléter par des repères, photos ou plan précis. Nonobstant ces importantes observations, nous étions en vacances et nous avons bien profité de ce séjour. Il y a en effet un éventail de randonnées et activités pour adultes, jeunes et enfants.

Splendid summer holidays home!
We had a wonderful time during our stay in Samoens. The house was very spacious, with good sleeping places for all and the garden was excellent for breakfast and diner. We and our 5 children especially liked the playroom. We had much fun with the pool-table and the table-tennis.
The surroundings were perfect for many beautifull walks. Easy going and more challenging. Samoens centre is small, but lovely, with several restaurants and a nice village square. The swimmingpool on walking distance was nice.
The house and the location is really to be recommended!

We, 3 families spent a week in the chalet. It is really spacious and the game-room is great, all of us had fun spending time there, as the weather for skiing wasn‘t the best.
The only negative point was the cleanliness of the chalet. The cleaning lady just arrived at the check-in time and did a very quick clean, which wasn‘t very satisfying. It probably was because of the holiday season, as she had lots of houses to clean that day. But we had a great time, enough space for all and enjoyed the house, as skiing was limited due to the weather. It‘s a 15 minute walk to the cosy town center, cute little shops, a good bakery and a lovely ice-rink. So perfect for large groups or 2-3 families.

Superb place for family with teenagers
We had a great stay here. It was everything we had hoped for and the online listing is very accurate. For our children aged 7 to 17 the games room was brilliant. No boredom. There was plenty of space for 16 of us. Plenty of toilets and nice rooms.
We were skiing in UK and French February half term and whilst it was busy the lift waits were shorter than I've experienced elsewhere. The village is beautiful and about 8 minutes walk away. Bus to the Gondola less than 5 minutes walk.

Schönes gemütliches Chalet!
Ein tolles Haus für Urlaub mit Kindern, wir waren mit 3 Familien dort und hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit!
Das Haus ist ein bisschen hellhörig, die Küche funktional mit allem nötigen eingerichtet, das Wohn-/Esszimmer ist sehr gemütlich und der Spielraum im Keller sehr praktisch. Gerne wieder!

Chalet pour famille de sportifs
Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans ce chalet qui conviendra à tout groupe se satisfaisant comme nous d'un niveau de confort moyen. Sa localisation est un atout pour les amateurs de tous les sports de montagne.

propriété plus adaptée pour l'hiver que l'été
Très bien situé (centre de Samoens accessible à pied) et super salle de jeux au RDC (billard et table de ping pong).
Par contre pas d'espace pour manger à l'extérieur, pas de terrasse aménagée ou de transat. De toutes les façons, la proximité de la route départementale très bruyante ne donne pas envie de rester dehors très longtemps.
Des matelas sont à changer.
Nous avons également eu un problème de nids de guêpes à l'arrivée.

On arrival we communicated with the local contact who was immediately available. Access to the property was immediate and there was ample bed and living space for the 15 of us. The drying room was just the job, views were fabulous, neighbours were lovely and communication from the owner was simply outstanding, right from pre-booking enquiry to post stay. (The communication makes it so much more enjoyable as any uncertainty can taint a holiday). Thank you, Peter! A real bonus to this property is the games room. A good table tennis table, fusball and a level pool table. There is plenty of elbow (cueing room) which wasn't obvious from the picture, and we used the room every day. The children (including those in their 30's, 40's and 60's absolutely loved it :-) ).

Grave probleme dans cette location
1) Le proprietaire qui habite a l'etranger et ne nous avait pas donne son numero de telephone nous a adresse a 2 correspondants sur place. Mais ceux-ci n'ont pas repondu a nos appels, nous n 'avons pas pu entrer dans le chalet et avons du loger a l'hotel la premiere nuit.
2) Le lendemain, le correspondant nous a ouvert la maison. Mais on y a decouvert une invasion de guepes, moitie vivantes, moitie mortes. Le propretaire alerte nous a ecrit: "en effet il y a eu un probleme de guepes ("merci de nous avoir prevenus"), mais maintenant tout va bien". Apres un dialogue dans ce sens qui n'a rien donne et alors que le probleme ne se reglait pas, nous avons du quitter le chalet (beau chalet au demeurant) et trouver une autre location.
J'ajouterai que Homelidays a oblige le proprietaire a nous rembourser la majeure partie de l'argent verse (apres de tres longues discussions telephoniques et de nombreuses photos a l'appui).

Perfect home from home.
Fantastic opportunity to stay in a chalet that is so well equipped making for a fantastic and relaxing stay. Loved the summer alpine experience and the insight into fabulous rural France. With a sunny balcony, access to beautiful walks and loads of activities we hardly needed our vehicle. Highly recommend Samoens and this chalet.

We hired this Chalet just after Christmas this year 2014 and had a fantastic week. The Chalet easily coped with the 15 of us, all bedrooms are fine and the large lounge with great views over the valley was ideal, the dinning area with large table seated all of us around the table so again ideal. The games room downstairs provides extra space and entertainment. Chalet was warm and clean when we arrived.
The free ski bus is about a 10 minute walk away and Sameons itself is a lovely interesting town with lots to see. I don't usually write reviews but felt compelled here as we were so impressed, if I arrange a trip for a similar size party I would definitely go back!!

Its never easy to get a chalet that sleeps/sits/feeds 11 adults comfortably but it was very easy at Le Chalet Cretet.
Everyone enjoyed the space, the warmth and the comfort of the chalet as well as giving them the opportunity for some serious table tennis/pool/table football competitions.
We didn't have a car but managed very well. Skibus in the morning is simple, and leaving ski's and boots up the mountain in heated lockers at night means that it doesn't matter whether you walk from town after a nice long apre'ski or come home earlier and walk back in.
The views from the chalet is wonderful in the snow and I am sure it is even better in the summer.
Great skiing across the Grand Massif with plenty for everyone and particularly great for those looking for the long wide cruising Blue runs.

Great for families
La Cretet is a great chalet for 3 families, the bedrooms are not cramped, the living area is spacious and the games room is brilliant for the children to disappear in. The chalet is well stocked and everything just worked (no fiddling with the wifi box or dvd for hours).
We'd definately stay again.

Just fabulous
We have stayed at Le Cretet in Samoens 3 times in the last 7 years and have wanted to return time and time again. It's perfect for a large group (we usually have 11 -15 in our group). The kitchen is well equipped to cater for a large group - having some younger kids in our party as well, we usually opt to eat in and have had some real feasts (and a few drinks!), although if you prefer to eat out there is a great choice in Samoens just a short walk (15 mins) or drive away. In the evenings we slob around the fire and chat and the kids have a great time in the games room in the basement. The chalet is very comfortable, and an added bonus is the shower with a seat in it in the upstairs bathroom (try getting the teenagers out of that in a hurry!). The drying room downstairs is a god send for boots and clothing. The chalet is really well situated - just a 5 minute drive to the ski lift or a 20 minute drive up to 1600. Can't wait til our next visit!
