Vacation

This was our first getaway as a couple in a long time; we usually travel as a family. The chalet was great! It’s in a quiet, peaceful location outside of the city; perfect for relaxing. The amenities are great! We enjoyed the outdoor hot tub, and sitting on the back porch with coffee. I would definitely recommend this place!

Birthday get away

Very comfortable property. The year round hot tub is lovely. Kitchen is easy to work in and a sufficient size. Both bathrooms are a decent size. Only concern was how snug it is for that many people. Only two distict bedrooms with doors. 9 sleeping in common or walk through areas. I put two kids in the nook under the stairs which was more comfortable probably for just one. Overall, this is a wonderful place, extraordinarily clean, and a good fit if people are close and comfortable being all together in a cozy shared space.

Notre séjour s’est très bien déroulé. Nadine a réagit rapidement aux questions que nous avions et suggéré des solutions. Merci pour la grande courtoisie et l’accueil. L’accès se déroule facilement. Sans avoir une vue sur le lac, il y a un accès direct au lac sur le terrain via une mise à l’eau donc nous sommes allés plusieurs fois sur l’eau. Il y a de nombreux jeux et embarcations qui sont disponibles pour s’amuser. Les lieux étaient propres. À noter que les couleurs des murs du salon au sous-sol sont maintenant beaucoup plus foncés que sur les photos et les enfants avaient peur d’y dormir. Nous avons donc réorganisé les couchages. Nous avons pu profiter du marché, de sentiers de la Vallée du bras du Nord à environ 30 minutes et d’une sortie à la Vallée secrète. Bref nous nous sommes bien amusés!

Beau chalet avec beaucoup de commodités. C'était propre à notre arrivée et le lac était magnifique, quoique pas directement sur la propriété.J'aurais aimé avoir des retours plus rapides de la part de l'hôte. J'ai eu des réponses à certaines questions le jour de notre retour à la maison. Sur place, certains problèmes ont été soulevés à l'hôte qui ont été reçus avec bienveillance.

Chalet cosy

Beau petit chalet cosy et chaleureux. Nous étions trois familles avec des enfants de moins de 12 ans. Je dirais que 6 adultes est pas mal le maximum pour la capacité des lits/chambres et le confort de tous.Chose importante à savoir, il y a une chambre (lit queen) qui est accessible seulement par une autre chambre (lit superposé). Ça peut être un inconvénient pour certains.Les enfants ont bien aimé les lits superposés sous les escalier et le jeu de pacman. C’était parfait pour notre petite escapade!

Plaisir tranquille

Le chalet est plus petit que ce que laissent supposer les informations et photos. Mais qu'à cela ne tienne, les possibilités sont impressionnantes en terme d'espace, d'aménagement, de confort ( le patio aménagé pour les soirées hivernales est génial ), de commodités de toutes sortes ( y compris plein d'ingrédients de base pour la bouffe ( épices, condiments, sucre, filtres, dosettes etc. ). La configuration des chambres peut surprendre mais les lits sont très confortables.Tout était fonctionnel dans le chalet et les options d'ambiance sont nombreuses. Le secteur était très paisible lors de notre visite et le décor entre lac et montagnes très plaisant. Tous les services sont disponibles à proximité, juste assez loin pour ne pas compromettre la tranquillité du chalet. Notre hôte répondait rapidement au téléphone, un peu moins via le site Vrbo. Conversations toujours agréables. Prix compétitif. Nous recommandons sans hésitation.
