Extended and seasonal stays
A month. A winter. A season on the escarpment.
A house you could live in rather than camp in for a season — three sitting rooms, more than one kitchen, laundry, an elevator, and a view that does not get old in month two. Built as a home first, which is why it holds up over a longer stay.
Ask about extended staysOver a long stay, different things matter.
Not the view from the roof — that does not get old. What matters is whether there is laundry. Whether two people can make breakfast without colliding. Whether there is somewhere to sit that is not the room everyone else is in. Whether you can get through a wet February without the house starting to feel small.
There is laundry on site. A full kitchen with a gas range and full-size appliances, plus additional kitchenettes elsewhere in the house. Three separate sitting areas across two floors. Several bedrooms with their own fireplace. And an elevator, which stops mattering on day one and starts mattering again on day thirty.
And then there is the property itself — open ground at the end of a private drive, a pond, a field, a tree line. Somewhere to walk every day without getting into a car, which after a month is the difference between staying somewhere and living there.
Who takes it long
Four kinds of longer booking.
- The ski season
- A base for the winter within reach of the hills, with somewhere to dry everything out and a hot tub at the end of the day.
- Between houses
- A furnished, fully equipped house for a family mid-move or mid-build, with room for the things that did not go into storage.
- A project team
- Separate sleeping areas and more than one kitchen mean colleagues can share a house for a month without sharing a bathroom queue.
- A season away
- Autumn through the colour, or summer on the bay, without packing up every Sunday.

Long stay questions
- What counts as an extended stay?
- Anything from about a month upward — a ski season, a winter, a gap between houses, or a stretch of work that keeps someone in the area.
- Are longer stays cheaper per night?
- They usually are, but we are not publishing a discount before the rate card is set. Send us the dates and the length and we will quote properly rather than advertise a number we might have to walk back.
- Can a company book it for staff or a project team?
- Yes, and it suits that well — separate sleeping areas, more than one kitchen and two sitting rooms mean people are not living in each other’s pockets for a month. Ask about invoicing arrangements.
