Morrisey Chalet At Sun Peaks: Stunning Mountain Home In Pristine Setting!

Welcome to our home -- Morrisey Chalet At Sun Peaks!

This is a stunning mountain home in a quiet, private and pristine setting (yet still within a stroll to the Village at Sun Peaks). Our Chalet has beautiful mountain and forest views and a year-round babbling creek adjacent to the 4th hole fairway. Many families and friends tell us that they feel peaceful and relaxed in our mountain "home away from home" and we enjoy hosting families and/or friends coming together to create those special memories for summer or winter reunions.

We have a floor to vaulted ceiling fireplace and panoramic windows, log beams, private 6 person hot tub, heated floors, leather furniture, large kitchen, four bedrooms, ample parking and laundry room.

SPACIOUS:
Morrisey Chalet has 4 bedrooms for up to twelve people (due to Sun Peaks Bi-laws) and has flexibility and privacy in sleeping arrangements. This includes a master bedroom on the top floor with a queen size bed, single bed, and portable baby crib), two bedrooms on the main floor with queen size beds, and a bedroom with double and single beds downstairs. For separate sleeping arrangements, there are also two comfortable double sofa beds in the downstairs family recreation room. All queen size beds have comforters/duvets and memory foam for comfort. There are three bathrooms with heated tile floors. All bedrooms have comfortable chairs for sitting and reading.

The chalet is perfect for extended family reunions or ONE TO TWO FAMILIES to get together. Children and teenagers love our downstairs family and recreation room and the fact that they can use our sleds to enjoy the outdoors and snow in winter.

NEW UPDATES of AMENITIES for MORRISEY CHALET at SUN PEAKS:
Over the past five years we have updated many items at Morrisey Chalet. Please scroll down to the bottom of this description for all of the updates to our Chalet.

PLEASE NOTE that we have a separate access unit below Morrisey Chalet with stairs down on the left. Kathy and I may stay there in winter (except when we are traveling), so we look forward to meeting our guests and offering a personal connection and advice. We do, however, feel it is important to respect your privacy, since this is your holiday, and the entire large home and hot tub are used solely by you as guests who rent the chalet. Note, We have sound proofing installed between the separate unit and the main house.

SKI-IN ACCESS is from two of Sun Peaks’ newest Morrisey black runs: “Lint Trap” & “Tumble Dry” plus blue run "Back In Time," and green run “Home Run-Fairway-Mountain View" trail. Our guest book contains a full description of the runs with map and photos.

SKI OUT: There is not a very easy ski out. Younger/fit people may climb up the hill across our street and ski down to the Burfield Chair. HOWEVER, a free shuttle stops at our property at the “bus stop” and will stop close to the front of the chalet normally twice an hour except two break times mid-day. An evening shuttle goes to and from the Village Day Lodge (VDL) at 5:30-9:30pm. See shuttle schedule on- line - it is better for the Sun Peaks environment.

PLEASE NOTE THAT PRICES on VRBO are in US DOLLARS unless specified otherwise. For Canadian dollars, please see: www.homeaway.ca/cottage-rental/p749332vb (the Canadian HomeAway site). You can book through either the VRBO or HomeAway sites for the same price.

REDUCED PRICES FOR LONGER STAYS: We have special significantly reduced prices for week-long stays, weeknights and summer periods as well as month-long stays.

Of note: Morrisey Chalet is located in a beautiful mountain & country environment. We do from time to time have animals on the property or nearby. This may include Deer or Elk, Rodents (Ground Squirrels, Mice, Tree Squirrels), Birds, Foxes, & sometimes even Bear or Linx. For those guests who venture from city areas, they may not be used to nature settings. It is normally a very safe & peaceful environment & we do everything possible to maintain this for our guests.

PRIVATE YET CLOSE LOCATION: We are located on Mountain View Drive, in Mountain View Estates, one of the newer subdivisions in Sun Peaks. Morrisey Chalet is a peaceful walk along the Village Trail (15-20 min - lit up at night) or along Fairways Drive to the Village Day Lodge (VDL), & the many village restaurants, and shops/businesses. The location is just 2-3 minutes drive to the Village.

We stayed here for a tournament in Kamloops- nice to have the space (top bedroom looks like it has a separate single bed through the bathroom in one of the pics but it’s all in one room) only downer for us was the drive back and forth to town but the home was awesome and in walking distance to sunpeaks for biking, golf or dining etc.

We loved the location. We were within walking or bike riding distance of the amazing village. We were a family of 14 gathering for a 40th Birthday Party and summer getaway. The chalet suited all our needs. We found the open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen were very accommodating for our party's size. Lots of books and games to entertain the kids The bedrooms were accommodating, with nice linens, pillows, and down duvets. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Thank you Harold and Kathy

Great ski cabin in a beautiful location
This home is large and spacious with good amenities. The hosts are lovely, warm and helpful. The description is accurate, lots of space, lovely large clean hot tub for apres skiing. The kitchen was well stocked with nice pots, large Insta Pot, coffee grinder, and more. We wished there was a wooden spoon and a few reusable food containers would be helpful for leftovers and packing lunches. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice, great to have 3 bathrooms for a big group. The fireplace is awesome, and beautiful deck with a view of the mountains. The ski-in was good, and the free shuttle right out front in the morning for ski-out is very convenient. We found some of the beds to be too firm, but we got used to them by the end of the week. It was a memorable, lovely stay and we feel fortunate to have found this gem.

Accommodating Accommodations
We had approximately 7-8 guests in total, which was the perfect sized group for this house. Any issues we had were dealt with extremely promptly. Kathy and Harold were able to accommodate late changes in our booking relating to early arrival and the inclusion of pets. It felt like ensuring we enjoyed our stay was of prime importance to our hosts. I would recommend Morrisey Chalet to any group looking for a getaway in the Sun Peaks/Lake Hefley area.
