chalet
Slope-side wooden dwelling
A chalet is a wooden house or cottage with a sloping roof and wide eaves, originally associated with the Swiss Alps.
The term now applies broadly to any vacation dwelling in a mountainous or ski resort area, regardless of architectural style.
We rented a chalet for the weekend.
In some contexts, chalet refers to a small cabin or lodge within a larger resort property.
