Built during the spring of 2008 this Russian Pine log chalet promises to make special event, wedding and business meeting planning a lot easier in Nova Scotia (and only 40 minutes from Halifax). The chalet is unusually spacious and can sleep up to 16 people. There are two floors (2500 sq. ft. in all), five bedrooms, a large living area on the first floor that can easily double as a meeting room and space for break-out rooms if required. There is a well-equipped, modern kitchen, two powder rooms, three bathrooms, a TV room with LCD monitor, closet space galore, designed to securely accommodate suitcases, computers, files, boxes and other necessities.

Four of the five bedrooms have balconies. These are great spaces to relax, sip some wine with a friend and discuss the events of the day. The master bedroom has two queen-size beds and every other bedroom features one as well.

While this ‘Special Events’ Chalet is new and well-equipped with modern appliances, quality furniture and other amenities, the interior design is meant to be calming and relaxing. The chalet has more the feel of ‘private lodge’ than a commercial accommodation facility. The hand-crafted, Russian light fixtures, the stained pine walls and the abundant windows make it a pleasant working (and playing) environment.

The chalet is also very private. The building is surrounded by several acres of hardwood forest, well-maintained flower gardens and lush green lawns. And of course, there is plenty of room for parking for both guests and visitors.
