Lower Berne chalet exceeded our expectations. I was initially concerned when booking a lower level. (I need windows and light). It was above grade and had seating out front and a porch in back. It even had a glass block window in the living room to let in light while maintaining privacy from the shared parking area. The screened porch accessed by a sliding door in the bedroom was our favorite place to sit and relax. It overlooked a bank of trees out back and was very private. Others commented that noise could be heard from the guests in the upper level. While we could hear footsteps occasionally we never heard anything else, and our space was way quieter than most places are. No road noise or strange house noises. Our pup enjoyed the small fenced space for quick relief purposes, and the neighborhood for morning walks. Extra special treats from the host were well appreciated by us and our pup. Not suitable for campers. Tight curvy entrance.
