Private Chalet with a View at a Winery

The Susec Chalet is a wonderful place to stay to be in the middle of wine country. We held our wedding ceremony at nearby Estate at Coffee Creek and used the Susec Chalet as our place to stay for our wedding weekend. The house is large enough to have at least three other couples stay with us. We even had our "First Look" of the Bride in the gazebo by the lake. The house is well kept has all the amenities you would need. The winery was open during part of our stay but did not interfere with any of our activities, and actually added to the ambiance of the home. We would highly recommend the Chalet.

Went for a bachelorette weekend. One of the rooms was INFESTED with wasps and the owner didn't seem to care. There were electric bug killers on hand and the problem was known. The owner's family was there the weekend before in discussion. Literally, piles of wasps on the floor in the bedroom at the top of the stairs. Luckily, I received a $50 refund from a $1,000 weekend stay. Infuriating. Tried to call multiple times and had neighbors 'spray' a can. Not adequate for this level of infestation. ALSO, and it was NOT advertised prior to reserving that he does wine tasting in the basement on the weekends!! Not mention it wasn't on his website at the time and nonchalant detail stated on the phone the day we arrived. Random people parked, in the gazebo and had free roam on our weekend. We didn't feel comfortable leaving our belongings because again, this wasn't advertised and the owner didn't give us a plan of security. Absolutely ruined our girls weekend.

Me and my family enjoyed the chalet while working in the new patio area for this upcoming year. It was a nice weekend for us when we were not working. We visited Harpersfield and Old Mill Wineries.

We stayed at the Chalet from Tuesday till Sunday as our boys were swimming in the Big East championships. There was also a Big Ten track championship that week and it was impossible to find a hotel. We decided to all stay in a home and it was so worth it. The swimmers hotel was pretty far away so the kids slept at the house during breaks as they were all in FINALS. We saved so much money cooking at home for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And it was fun. Plenty of room for everyone. This is a large house so there was plenty of room for all of us to sit together or work alone (some of us had to work as well as have fun!). Wifi was okay depending on how many were on at the same time. We really enjoyed it. Wish the decks were useable. Bring your own soap for the showers. Could use new pots... old Teflon pots have lots of scratches and we didn't use them. We purchased some new ones. Still... it was so much fun having so much room and friends to share it with.

The chalet is beautiful. The wine they sell is amazing, my favorites were the Red Blend and Cabernet Franc. All of the local attractions are just minutes away. Very relaxing setting. Perfect for large groups or small intimate getaways.
