Ski chalet house rules template

Ski chalets fill up with wet boots, frozen gear and tired skiers who want a fire and a hot tub. The most common problems are boots on wooden floors, gear dried on heaters and cars stuck on an unploughed driveway.

This template covers the standard Airbnb rules, then chalet requests with short reasons. Add your own details on parking, snow clearing and how to get to the lifts.

The template

Replace anything in [brackets] with your own details.

Check-in and checkout

  • Check-in is from [Check-in time]. Checkout is by [Checkout time].
  • Winter roads up here can be steep. Please bring winter tires or chains. [Road note]

Guests and noise

  • Up to [Max guests] guests can stay overnight.
  • Quiet hours are [Quiet hours start] to [Quiet hours end].
  • No parties or events, please.

Pets, smoking and photos

  • Pets: [Pet rule].
  • No smoking or vaping inside or on the balconies.
  • Please ask before commercial photography or filming.

Chalet requests

  • Please take off ski and snow boots at the door or in the boot room. They scratch the floors and leave puddles.
  • Skis, poles and boards go in [Gear room location]. The boot dryer is [Boot dryer location].
  • Please don't dry gloves or clothes on the baseboard heaters or the fireplace screen. It's a fire risk.
  • Fireplace: [Fireplace instructions]. Please never leave it burning when you go out or to bed.
  • Hot tub: please check the cover is locked after use, and no glass. Ice around the tub is slippery, so take care.
  • Parking: [Parking note, e.g. two cars in the driveway; please leave space for the plough on [Plough days]].
  • If snow blocks the door or steps, the shovel and ice melt are [Shovel location].

Locking up

  • Please lock the doors when you head to the hill and at checkout.

Checkout

  • Put used dishes in the sink.
  • Gather used towels in [Towel spot].
  • Sort trash and recycling into the indoor bins. Please keep garbage inside; animals visit at night.
  • Turn the heat down to [Heat setting] (not off, or the pipes may freeze), turn off lights and close the windows.
  • Lock up and return the keys to [Key return spot].

Thanks, and enjoy the snow!

Questions

What should ski chalet rules say about gear?

Where skis, boards and boots go, how the boot dryer works, and a request not to dry things on heaters or the fireplace. Give the reason, floor damage and fire risk.

Should guests turn the heat off at checkout in winter?

No, ask them to turn it down to a set temperature. Turning it off in freezing weather can burst pipes.

Can I ask guests to shovel snow at the chalet?

Clearing the steps so they can get in and out safely during the stay is reasonable to mention, with a shovel provided. Arrange proper snow clearing yourself and don't put shovelling on the checkout list.
