Though we really do not like conflict, we feel we have an obligation to warn others of Chalet Elevation. The website of this Luxury Bed and Breakfast makes one think that this is a real bed and breakfast with spacious rooms, beautiful common areas and the feel of a professionally run B&B. The reality is very different. This is a young family?s home, 20 minutes outside Breckenridge on a long and windy road, and we found ourselves in a small, spare bedroom off the kitchen. We quickly realized this place has zero privacy and zero charm ? and on top of it all, we had a shared bathroom. That night we could not sleep becuase the family?s baby was coughing through the night. We ordered dinner, which was quite good, and served in the ?common area? ? which was a small table pushed up against the wall in the basement.
This experience cost us a grand total of $300, which included a $35 cleaning fee (unusual for a bed and breakfast, I think), an extra fee for a twin bed for our children, and taxes. Had we paid $150 total, I might have thought this was reasonable. But honestly to pay $300 to stay in someone?s guest bedroom felt like price gouging.
I called the next day to politiely explain our disappointment, and the owner responded by refusing to give any kind of refund and saying ?Frankly, I think this is comical.? I don?t think being overcharged and deceived is funny at all. He followed up by sending a nasty email to us, which was so distrubing that I won?t even post it here.
