Chalet 5 stands like a quiet sentinel — glass-fronted, plush, and impossibly private — while inside, hydronic warmth hugs underfoot and freestanding tubs beckon like secret hot springs. It’s all elevation and intention, with the Bluff just beyond and a silence you can hear. Come here for stillness, style, and the softest landing.
