Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that the chalet was exactly what you were looking for—a quiet, relaxing retreat with a beautiful lake view. It’s great to know you found the kitchen well-equipped and the chalet super clean. 😊
We appreciate your compliments on our service and look forward to welcoming you back anytime!
Our extended family of 9 had a great stay at Lac Thomas. We enjoyed the chalet as well as the lake, using the kayaks and boards to explore and finishing up with the jacuzzi. The lake's water temperature was surprisingly good! We liked our meals at the large kitchen table. The foosball table was a plus! From there we drove through La Mauricie National Park on our way to Lac Saint-Jean.
L'emplacement offre une superbe vue sur le lac. Les espaces sont bien aménagés et agréables. La cuisine est très fonctionnelle, nous avons bien cuisiné. Nous avons apprécié la propreté du bain à remous. Les kayaks nous ont permis de nous promener sur le lac.
Nous avons passé trois jours dans ce très beau chalet au bord du lac Thomas. Le beau temps n'était pas de la partie mais les chalets galaxie nous ont gentiment permis de rester deux heures de plus le dimanche, seul jour sans pluie !
Tout était bien sauf qu’il faudrait que les matelas et oreillers soient pas mal plus mous. Sur 7 matelas, juste un était confortable , certains membres de ma famille avaient l’impression de coucher sur des roches, même on eu mal au dos, courbaturé. Je suggère d’avoir plus de produits ménagers. À noter, il y a une patte du divan au sous-sol était brisée lors de notre arrivée.
Très beau chalet sur un site boisé , confortable,vue superbe. De la place pour une grande famille, bien aménagé, bien équipé. Le quai et son accès à besoin d’amélioration, escalier plus sécuritaire et échelle pour la baignade serait nécessaire. Le foyer extérieur est super avec beaucoup de chaises Nous avons bien aimé notre séjour
