Maryanne and Shane took great care of us when we stayed in Allure, from driving us to their favorite dining places to taking us sightseeing in the beautiful Hakuba mountains. A cooked breakfast was included every day and Shane did a great job keeping it interesting by serving us something different each time. Ask them anything and they'll be happy... More

Stayed in December with my Daughter, felt like part of the family by the end of the stay. Shayne and Maryanne were not afraid to tell us anything we needed to know, weather forecasts so we could plan, where supermarkets were, which resort to ski. Bar was fun place to share info and the fire in the front room and... More

Allure is an ideal base for a Ski trip - we stayed there for 6 nights in February. The skiing as expected was awesome but the hospitality and level of service provided by owners Shayne and Mary-anne was phenomenal. They bent over backwards to guide us to the best locations (skiing and after-ski) - our trip would not have been... More

The hosts Shayne and Marianne were lovely and gave great advice and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. They even had... More
