Magical Québec City for Christmas :christmas_tree:
Looking for guests December 9 to 30

My place is ideal for a couple who wants a romantic getaway for Holiday Season.

Beautiful views of the St Lawrence from the living room and also directly from the bed.

LĂ©vis has a free ice skating path (they even have some skates to borrow) towered by the magnificent ChĂąteau Frontenac hĂŽtel.

Or take the ferry and stroll along the decorated streets and the beautiful Christmas Market.

It often snows in Quebec City, it really is a romantic Christmas Wonderland.

December & January Magic in Colorado’s Mystical San Luis Valley - Cozy Home Available for Longer-Term Exchange (18 December - 10 February 2025)
Open to GP or simultaneous swap!

Experience the raw beauty of winter in North America’s highest alpine desert valley! Our welcoming home in Alamosa, Colorado (elevation 7,544 ft) is available from December 15th, 2024 - January 31st, 2024 for a points stay or reciprocal exchange.

Nestled in the heart of the San Luis Valley, Alamosa offers a unique winter experience where crystalline blue skies meet snow-capped peaks. The Valley is renowned for its otherworldly landscapes, pristine stargazing (we’re far from light pollution!), and access to natural wonders including the Great Sand Dunes National Park, which transforms into a surreal winter playground.

For ski enthusiasts, Wolf Creek Ski Resort - famous for having “the most snow in Colorado” - is just 75 minutes away. This hidden gem typically offers incredible powder days without the crowds of larger Colorado resorts!

Local treasures include:

  • Steaming hot springs within an hour’s drive

  • Historic narrow-gauge railroad

  • Local craft breweries

  • Vibrant mix of Hispanic and Western culture

  • Access to multiple 14,000 ft peaks

  • Abundant wildlife viewing

  • UFO Watchtower (yes, really!)

Our cozy home is perfect for experiencing true Colorado winter, where daytime temperatures can range from crisp to frigid, but the sun shines 320+ days a year!

Seeking exchange partners in non-rural locations, with slight preference for warmer climates. Come discover why the early Spanish explorers called this valley “El Valle Encantado” (The Enchanted Valley)!!

Looking for guests who are interested in staying in Manchester, England for any length of time between Dec 17 - Jan 12!

At the moment, I’m going away for a good chunk of December and January, and am looking for people who may fancy staying in Manchester while I am away. It’s an ideal location for a city break, with easy access to lots of gorgeous outdoor locations! We’re only 1-2 hours from the Peak District, the Lake District, and Snowdonia. The house sleeps up to 4 people (one double bed and one sofa bed).

I live with two lovely cats, Luna and Cosimo, who LOVE company - so I don’t love leaving them alone for long periods of time. I’m hoping to find fellow cat lovers on HE who are keen to stay with some cuddly cats!

I’ve got one family staying Dec 28-31, but the house is completely free other than that.

You can find my home listing here:

Pre-Christmas getaway to a Swiss ski chalet near Montreux

Hello, I’m new to this forum and have been a happy HE member for a few years now. We love both travelling and hosting guests and have really enjoyed our experiences so far.

We have a week’s availability for GP December 12th-20th in our chalet situated within walking distance of ski lifts/ski train! The ski resort is the extensive Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets area and the ski lifts open on December 14th. It’s a wonderful time of the year to visit as you have all the magic of the pre Christmas season (beautiful Christmas markets in Montreux for example!) but less of the crowds.

90 minutes drive from Geneva airport, easy access by train.

Here’s our listing, please feel free to contact me !
