Truly a slice of heaven. The cottage is well stocked, was clean, had games and toys for the kids, heated floors throughout the ground floor kept us toasty (was -30C the weekend we stayed), all streaming services on tv…. We couldn’t find something to complain about if we tried!
Beautiful cottage and property with all the amenities you could need and more. We had a nice, relaxing stay with paddle boarding, bbqs, campfires and cozy movie nights. Jay was very responsive to the few questions we had while staying and check-in/check-out was easy.
The cottage was one of the most luxurious, cleanest and most beautiful cottages I have ever been to. In addition, Mr. Jay was very respectful and always there to help.. I recommend it because it is worth it.
Absolutely beautiful house and scenery. However the kitchen stuffs are a bit less clean and handy. We realized the quilts were without covers until the last day.

Thank you for leaving a comment.
Quick note, all of our “quilts” are washed and dried after each and every stay.
Our kitchen is fully equipped with all essential utensil that have been put through the dishwasher and thoroughly checked.
Thanks again for choosing us for your accommodations in Val Des Monts.
Lovely place - it had everything we wanted. Lots of parking space, all the amenities, even a generator that kicked in automatically when a tree fell in the road and took the power out. Only flaw was some geese that dirtied the beach area but we were not there to swim. Thanks for everything!

Thank you for your response.
This year we newly installed sod which the geese must be fond of, however we have remedied the situation with fencing and a proper cleaning.
More importantly I’m happy to that you enjoyed your stay.
The automatic generator is a key factor in keeping guests comfortable for reason of A/C, heat, lighting, internet and running water.
Hope to see you again in the future for your accommodation needs in Val Des Monts.

Beautiful chalet, lake, hot tub, fire pit - what more do you need?
Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our family summer vacation. Perfectly designed chalet with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The lake is amazing and kayaks and a paddle board are available as well as floats for relaxing or enjoying water sports and exploring the lake. Cooler nights were spent grilling on the patio followed by a fire and s'more's around the spacious fire pit.
The house was great. Loved the Canadiana decor, and the bathrooms were fabulous. Loved the heated floors! Hot tub was really nice. Too bad there was so much snow, that the outdoor area was inaccessible.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay at Chalet Paradise.
Mother nature is unpredictable especially considering the 80 cm of snowfall in the region.
We look forward to hosting you this September!
Jay:)
This is our second summer staying at this property and, once again, it did not disappoint. We were thrilled to find the extra kayak this year so now 2 family members can go paddling together. The lake is beautiful, the proximity to Wakefield is fantastic, and the property has everything you need for a wonderful stay.

The cottage was perfect for our group of 5. The kids fished and played on the lake every day and the cottage had all the amenities for a very comfortable stay. The owner was incredibly responsive the the cottage was spotless when we got there.

Thank you Denise for your kind words. I am happy to hear you and your party enjoyed staying at the Chalet.
We aim to enhance an experience in nature with a cottage feel while providing all amenities for comfort.
Much appreciation!

We had a wonderful time at this property! I have absolutely nothing negative to say. The property was well equipped with everything you could need. We have two children and the shallow entry into the water was perfect for them. We swam, kayaked, and paddle boarded every day. The host was excellent and very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had. Highly recommend.
We stayed for a week at Chalet Paradise in Val-des-Monts, Quebec, in the summer of 2023. The property was absolutely fabulous, and the setting on the lake was perfect. We really enjoyed the paddleboard and kayak provided.
The ameneties were excellent, including a fully equipped kitchen, bluetooth speaker and really luxurious bath and showers. The wifi worked really well too, especially considering the rather remote locale.
The entire property was immaculate and well maintained. This was truly a luxury chalet!
The host has been very thoughtful and thorough, including almost everything you need for a vacation home, such as ample firewood, lots of kitchen utensils and even those little things like cling wrap and condiments that are such a pain to have to pack in yourselves!
The host was very responsive to queries, and did check in with us to ensure we had everything we needed.
We had a thoroughly excellent stay and will definitely return when we are next in the Gatineau area!

Mr. Doyle
Your kind words are truly flattering.
We strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere in a private environment where one may relax amidst a natural setting. Our goal is the satisfaction of our guests.
We hope to have you and your family stay with us again in the future.

This cottage is beautiful and so comfortable. Went there with a group of girlfriends (5 people), and it was large enough to comfortably give everyone their own bed and no line up for bathrooms. Jay was incredibly helpful and really quick to reply to any questions, and the cottage was so clean. Was perfect for a weekend of lounging around and catching up with friends.
I will definitely go back again, and definitely recommend it for anyone else.
One thing to keep in mind for May travel is that it is mosquito season and they are insane. I am just mentioning it in case a family with kids want to go to a cottage in that sector with the expectation of being able to enjoy the lake or hot tub, or have their kids play outside. You will 100% end up staying inside due to high volume of aggressive mosquitoes coming after you the second you step outside.
This is not a constant problem, its just the current season. This cottage is still wonderful, and one of the best properties i have come accross.

Thank you so much for the review. More importantly I’d like to thank you for your cleanliness and adherence to the house rules.
You are absolutely correct, this time of year can be bothersome to the great outdoor enthusiasts due to mosquitoes. For the comfort and enjoyment of our guests we have built a 3 season screened room.
Although some years are better than others, I’d like to recommend using insect repellent to anyone travelling in the 2 week period when the mosquitoes are aggressive to avoid getting mosquito bitten.
Thanks again for staying at chalet paradise and hope to see you in the near future.

Do NOT stay here. The place may appear nice but the house us not ready for people and the owner is not interested in your experience.
We arrived and noticed there were NO blinds in any part of the house - including the bedrooms. The water was not drinkable (we were never told this), there was no furniture in 2 bedrooms other than beds (no closet or dresser or tables, etc), the sheets were dirty and needed to be clean. The towels has never been washed and when we tried to get help from the owner he pointed to blinds on back order and had no solution. Mattresses were stained and the pillows looked like the dog slept on it. It was disturbing.
Further conversations with the owner shower his disdain for customer service - he blamed us for not being prepared for the water situation, he wouldnt refund the money and continued to blame us for the house being in the state it is in.
He also looked in our car and used any excuse to hold on to cash versus help us. We were doing laundry for hours the first night and I'm hold with VRBO looking for a solution. We left the next morning and the owner continues to ignore his responsibility. Never again.
If even this house gets fixed, dealing with the owner is a nightmare. I would never recommend this place or any other he owns.

We are sorry that the property did not meet your expectations.
The property and everything in it is brand new. Including all furniture, linens, utensils and appliances.
As a reminder we do not allow pets as some of our guests are highly allergic. We also have stringent cleaning standards in place and hold this service to a high degree.
As we strive for a seamless memorable experience we understand that honest communication is an integral part of your stay. We do not misrepresent the property in any way, shape or form.
For your convenience we had 24 bottles of water in the pantry of which we hope you enjoyed.
As a final note, no one including the owner was on the property during your entire stay, we use an electronic keypad to gain entry to the chalet for the convenience of our guests.
We hope you have a sincere and genuine day!
Nos 5 jours dans le chalet ont été un enchantement. Le site est magnifique, le chalet superbe. Nous avons profité du lac (kayak et paddle). Sans parler du jacuzzi et des grillades de guimauve le soir au coin du feu ! Nous garderons longtemps le souvenir de ce séjour
Ce chalet était absolument parfait pour des vacances en famille. La propriété est bien entretenue et l'hôte est très réactif et rapides pour répondre à nos questions.
La cuisine était bien équipée et il avait plusieurs jeux sur place. Nous avons passé du très bon temps en famille, je recommande.

Magnifique chalet bien entretenu avec toutes les commodités nécessaires. Tout semble neuf! Très belle expérience de chalet.
Le chalet est en réalité sur le Lac McArthur donc beaucoup plus loin que ce qui est affiché sur l’annonce.

Thank you for leaving a review. More importantly, I would like to thank you for adhering to all the house rules.
Patrick and his family left the chalet in immaculate condition.
As for location, if you read the description it clearly states that the chalet is 45 min from downtown Ottawa which is accurate. It also mentions to message for exact address.
Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Chalet Paradise and hope to see you in the future.
