Our favorites for a night in.
The compartment in the coffee table. Four genuinely good games chosen for groups of two to five. Pour something. Stay up too late. Blame the altitude.
Living room · low shelfWelcome to Chateau Nugget. Her Majesty has been expecting you — she's the one in the gilded frame.
We're Mike and Chiara, the humans she allows to run the place, and this mountain is where our story began. It's where we learned to snowboard, where we ended every day the same way: hot tub, earned drinks, no complaints. And where we showed up for Mike's milestone birthday with a 12-week-old Nugget in tow. She was a spontaneous surprise gift, the trip was already booked, there was no leaving her behind. We kept coming back until coming back wasn't enough anymore. We wanted somewhere that was ours. For us, for our people, for anyone we love enough to share it with. That's you now. We promise not to make it weird if you don't. Your photo with Her Majesty is non-negotiable. She's been waiting.
Make yourself at home. You've earned this.
— Chiara, Mike. & Nugget
