Le Huard – Cozy Fully Equipped Lakefront Chalet, Spa, Private Beach & Dock
OUTDOORS | RELAXATION | NATURE | REMOTE WORK
CHALETS PLEIN BOIS – LE HUARD is a four-season peaceful retreat located on the shores of beautiful Lake Sainte-Rose in Mandeville, in the Lanaudière region. Just 1 hour and 30 minutes from Montreal, this warm, wood-dominant chalet invites you to an immersive nature escape.
Ideal for couples, families, groups of friends, remote work stays, or even small teams seeking a productive and rejuvenating “lake-at-your-doorstep” experience. The chalet is perfectly suited for both short stays and extended getaways.
The large, swimmable lake is nestled among the mountains, offering breathtaking scenery and spectacular seasonal colors: vibrant fall foliage, snowy winter landscapes, romantic spring mist, and refreshing summer swims. From the property, you have direct access to a private sandy beach and a floating dock with ladder.
Inside, the chalet radiates warmth and serenity. Entirely built of wood, it offers an inviting and authentic atmosphere. Large windows provide stunning lake views from almost every room.
The spacious three-season veranda, filled with windows, is the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors while sheltered from insects, rain, or cooler evenings — whether for a long dinner under the rising moon or front-row views of a summer storm.
Outside, an 8-person spa with pavilion awaits to extend your evenings under the stars, summer and winter alike. The landscaped lawn bordered by mature trees enhances the peaceful setting.
Hiking trails are accessible just steps from the chalet. The Mandeville area also offers ATV and snowmobile trails, Mastigouche Wildlife Reserve, ZEC des Nymphes, golf, fishing, and Spa Natur’Eau nearby.
Chalet LE HUARD is a place thoughtfully designed to create unforgettable memories, slow down the pace, and reconnect with what truly matters — in every season.

About the host
Hosted by Francois Bélisle
We purchased our first chalet in 2005 and officially founded Chalets Plein Bois in 2007. What began as a personal passion for nature and lakeside living gradually evolved into a recognized expertise in high-quality short-term accommodations.
Over the years, we have become known locally as a model for responsible and sustainable tourism development. We believe that successful hosting goes beyond offering a beautiful space — it means preserving the environment, respecting the community, and creating meaningful guest experiences.
We genuinely love our piece of paradise in Mandeville, and we take pride in sharing it. Since opening, hundreds of guests have stayed at Chalets Plein Bois — and many return year after year to experience the changing beauty of the seasons.
Why they chose this property
We chose Mandeville for its perfect balance of accessibility and natural immersion. Just 1h30 from Montreal, it offers a true escape without the long drive.
Lake Sainte-Rose is one of the region’s most beautiful and swimmable lakes, surrounded by mountains, forest, and protected natural areas. The peaceful atmosphere, clean air, and breathtaking seasonal landscapes make it special year-round.
What we love most is the diversity: quiet mornings on the lake, vibrant autumn colors, snowy winter scenery, and summer sunsets over the water. It’s a place where you can truly slow down.
What makes this property unique
Le Huard stands out for its rare combination of lakefront access, privacy, and full amenities.
Guests enjoy direct access to a private sandy beach, a dock, and a full fleet of watercraft — something not commonly found together. The 8-person spa with pavilion, indoor stone fireplace, outdoor fire pit, and panoramic lake views create a true four-season retreat.
Practical comforts also make a difference: fiber high-speed internet for remote work, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning and heat pump, and an automatic backup generator to ensure uninterrupted comfort.
It’s a place designed to combine nature, comfort, and peace of mind — whether for relaxation, family time, or productive remote stays.
