We only had time for a short getaway, but we would have gladly stayed much longer at this fascinating home. Terrific location, lots of lawn for our pup to stretch her (albeit short) legs, gracious hosts, and once we got our kayaks down to the beach, an incredibly easy launch. Everything we might have needed was provided in the well-stocked house, too. Really an excellent choice for exploring the northern parts of the lake, dipping into Quebec, or simply relaxing.

A week to remember! The lake and Mountain View were beautiful and so peaceful. We all spent our time out on the water, swimming, fishing, playing yard games and enjoying s’mores. We had an amazing time. Bob (host) was incredible and easy to get in touch with. There were 12 of us staying at this property and we had plenty of indoor and outdoor space. Highly recommend staying here!

Hi, thanks for the review. Just a note: There are 4 Steps to the shore that do not need a railing. There is also a gradual walk to the lake where the dock is located. Dock is a roll in and its is not a stationary in ground dock system. We Roll in and out depending On lake level. We do not have Scatter rugs. We have stationary rugs that help with wear and tear Of the wood floors.

We had a wonderful stay at Robert’s chalet. Communication with Robert was very easy and smooth from start to finish. The chalet was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The view was absolutely beautiful and made the experience even more special. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

Such a relaxing get away! Lake views! Easy access to swimming and shore fishing. Wonderful location. Pet and children friendly. Hosts extremely accommodating and very responsive (the few times we needed to ask a question). Close enough to a store if needed but feels private and secluded! We definitely enjoyed our stay!
