Stone Chalet – The Name

August 4, 2014

When we were deciding what to name our Bed & Breakfast business we thought that a name that was simple and stated exactly what is was would appeal to our engineer’s sense of how things should work.

So Stone Chalet seems pretty obvious. The main house is a designed as a perfect Swiss Chalet made of huge granite stones.

Little did we know that a lot of people have never heard the word chalet. In the process of getting things set up for this business so many people have asked me to spell chalet like they never heard the word before.

And this fear was confirmed today when a sales person calling on us to demonstrate a credit card processor pulled his call sheet out and there on the list was the name of our business:

Stone Shallay

OK then.
