Très bonne expérience autour du lac. Lieux paisible et très agréable. Logement très bien équipé et impeccable ! Et un hôte très réactif et aux petits soins !

Upon arrival, the check-in directions were clear and easy! The hot tub was ready to go when we arrived and they also had people come and service it during our stay to keep it clean and up and running! The house was great for our big family and absolutely amazing for our 7 children! The kids loved the play area and bedrooms! Definitely will look into staying with them again!

I can't say enough good things about our stay. As soon as you walk in, you feel right at home! Very warm and welcoming. The basement was filled with a large play house and multiple toys that both of our children just loved. This was an extra bonus. We forgot our pack in play and almost went to the store to buy one. Luckily, we found one in the closet which we were very grateful for! I would definitely stay here again!
