Looks like an independently owned chalet via chalets direct. First google hit had an option to email the owner and chalets direct are a pretty reputable company (although I do not know who you are booking through). Location is not super ideal about a 15 mins walk into Morzine for the evening but right by the ski bus to get to Prodains. It is uphill on your way back from town but not super steep.
Hope this helps.
Andy

Cheers Andy,
It would be through www.chilloutmountain.com they dont accept credit card only bank transfer, and as im responsible for paying for this for the group i want to be sure im not about to loose everyones money.
Looks like theyve been on chalets direct for 3 ish years letting out other chalets (although no user submitted reviews), so hopefully thats a sign they are legit?

Hi, noob on this site, was just checking out my mates refurbished chalet and found your enquiry. I can tell you that it's definitely legit. I know the family and they're good people. I've stayed there, there were ten of us and it easily accommodated us, it's a bloody orsm chalet. 5mins on the bus into town and 5mins up to Prodains, the bus stop's 30 feet from the door. I've not been with the company as it's brand new on the renting circuit, they had it all refurbished so should be even better than when I was there. I can find out from the family why the company won't take credit cards, it does seem a bit absurd, I'll let you know. Me and my mates are going to be using it as a base for an Alpine motorbike extravaganza in the summer. I have to say the place looks amazing now, and it was bloody good anyway, that was about three years ago.

reeksi, Not accepting credit cards could be because French banks can be very tricky about giving that facility (depends on the bank)

Hi
I would check out if they are on the Morzine Tourist website, then you have nothing to worry about. Also see if they have any reviews on Trip Advisor.
Good Luck
Paul

Just thought id update this post from ages ago, as i went to Chalet Benjamin with the company Chillout Mountain, and all turned out to be great, was a fantastic chalet, i wouldn't recommend sleeping more than 6 adults though, unless you dont mind sleeping with more than 2 in each room, there is plenty of living area space for more though!
The location was good, could have been closer to the lifts and town, but then i guess you'd pay more for that!
all in all I can highly recommend chillout mountain and chalet benjamin in morzine
