Tourism & Travel / accommodation
French term or phrase: style montagne
It is in an accommodation description. How would you say it in English? "Mountain style"?

English translation:chalet-style
Explanation:
Difficult to say without more context but maybe chalet-style would be appropriate. I've never heard mountain style but accommodation in mountains is often associated with chalets or cabin type structures, usually constructed of wood or perhaps stone.
