Morrisey Chalet at Sun Peaks | Chalet De Esquí en Sun Peaks

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.
