6 Expert Tips For Renting Out Your Ski Chalet

Renting out your ski chalet this season? Why not make the most out of it and spruce things up a bit? Here are some ways you will make your guests feel at home and want to visit again.

Go Natural!

Is your ski chalet already finished with natural timber? If not, you may want to reconsider. Natural timber is a traditional feature of a chalet. Make sure to focus on natural fabrics as well - Adding soft furnishings such as wool and linens can create a sense of comfort. If you want a mix between comfort and luxury, try adding some rich materials like leather or suede.

Add On A Deck

If this is possible for you, adding on a desk could make a world of difference. Most people like to sit outside and take in the fresh air. Chances are if someone rents your ski chalet, they are the “outdoors type” of person, so a deck would be an added benefit, especially if you have the scenery around. There’s nothing like opening the door, stepping out on the deck, and taking in beautiful scenery.

Use Warm & Inviting Colors

For a ski chalet, warm colors are best. Your guest(s) will be outside in the cold and when they step inside, the warm colors will make them feel cozy. Stick to shades of mink and taupe, and mix it with some rich chocolate browns.

Invest In A Steel Roof

If your ski chalet is newly built, you may not want to take on this investment. However, if your roof is older and could use a new one, look into steel roofs. You’re likely going to want the least amount of maintenance and this type of roof will provide the benefit for you. Having a steel roof means no more getting on top of the roof or hiring someone to climb on top to shovel off heavy, wet snow. Another major bonus is this type of roof will last a lifetime and even have a 50-year color warranty.

Install A Hot Tub

Who doesn’t like a hot tub, right? Every ski chalet should have one and it should be placed near the chalet, making it convenient to walk out the door and hop in the tub. There’s nothing like a long, cold day of skiing and then getting in a hot tub to relax and keep warm.

Don’t Forget The Sauna

Why a sauna? It’s a great addition to help your guests relax. The weather may not always be perfect to go outside in the hot tub, but a sauna can still be accessible despite the weather. Not to mention, it really doesn’t take up a bunch of room. In-home saunas are much safer than they used to be - hire a reputable professional for installation to take any worries away.
