Maison très chaleureuse et bien située, mais propreté qui laissait à désirer à certains endroits (planchers, tapis, douches, salle de bain).

Merci pour votre appréciation et votre commentaire sur la propreté: vous avez réservé lors d'une transition d'équipes de ménage qui a été difficile. La situation a été corrigée depuis. Au plaisir de vous revoir.

Great home for large family of all ages!

We rented this property for my family due to a wedding at the venue next door. The house had everything we needed and was truly a treat to give everyone their own room. It was a great family experience that made my son’s wedding truly memorable. Thank you!

Très beau séjour

La maison est spacieuse et a tout ce dont nous avons besoin. Très propre. La cuisine est très bien équipée pour se faire d'excellents repas. Les lits sont hyper confortables. Très bon emplacement et lieu tranquille. Près de plusieurs montagnes de ski. C'était notre 2e séjour et nous y reviendrons assurément!

Séjour hivernal de Noël

Séjour en famille dans cette belle maison ancestrale pendant le congé des Fêtes. Cuisine bien équipée pour cuisiner, les chambres sont confortables et bien aménagées, le salon, seul espace commun pour asseoir six personnes, bien que la pièce soit chaleureuse, n'offre pas au niveau du divan tout-a-fait le confort souhaité. Plusieurs attentions appréciées en lien avec une touche de Noël un peu partout dans la maison. Cependant, nous pensions y trouver un foyer tel qu'inscrit dans le descriptif général et il aurait fallu voir dans le descriptif plus détaillé qu'il s'agissait d'un foyer extérieur seulement. Malgré tout, nous avons apprécié notre séjour dans cette maison qui a sû garder son âme et possède un cachet distinct.

agréable séjour au calme en famille

Nous avons vécu six jours très agréables dans la charmante maison de Claude et Louise Rainville. Nous étions 11 et avons trouvé pleins de coins tranquilles et confortables où se retrouver ou s'isoler. Ce chalet très lumineux, bien équipé et facile à vivre, offre un magnifique jardin fleuri, ensoleillé, plein d'oiseaux à observer. Balade à pied sympa sur route de campagne vers l'abbaye de St Benoit du lac toute proche. Bref un très bon moment à renouveler.
