Chalet L'Etchemin sur le Lac

Very welcoming, relaxing place and many amenities! Perfect for a family holiday! Thank you

Only reason it looses a star is due to some apparent lack of effort regarding cleaning. We're just used to rental properties being better swept/vacummed and the dryer not being full of bed linen. We also had no dishwasher detergent and only one pouch of chemical for the spa was left.
But staff were keen to respond to our email queries and we would rent again. The place is beautiful.

Quiet, lake access, clean

It is a rental that has been organized and taken care of by a relative. I paid a portion but I will testify of MY experience as a guest and not that of the main tenant. Perhaps he would have a different opinion from mine.

POSITIVE POINTS: Lots of facilities and extras (eg: 2 kayaks, 1 canoe, fireplace with fire screen, sturdy garden furniture, jacuzzi, etc.) that make your stay more pleasant.

The premises are clean, close enough to the lake and close to several services to be able to refuel. It's peaceful and the neighborhood discreet. There is almost everything you will need such as bedding, dishes, toilet paper, tissues, etc. in order to stay without making too much additional purchases. In short, apart from the food and a handful of other personal items, it's almost like the hotel business. They even prepared some wood for fires.

NEGATIVE POINTS: Some elements are neglected and clearly deserve to be repaired (ex .: a blind which is missing at least 5-6 slats, problematic door handles including that of the bathroom on the ground floor, etc.). An Xbox One console that children have never been able to operate and whose only game was obviously no longer in its box. Mosquito nets with a little holes. And a few other little irritants like that.

Suggestion if you are renting: MAKE SURE you plan who sleeps where BEFORE you stay and read the layout of the rooms and beds. This chalet can accommodate 10 people to sleep, of course. Except that you will have to resort to folding beds and share 1 room with bunk beds in addition.

There are 2 bedrooms for couples (1 with a King bed and 1 with a Queen bed) as well as another bedroom with a single bed bunk on a large double bed, therefore especially made for children.

No sofa bed for other sleepers, these are really single folding beds.

In summary, I would say it can accommodate 6-7 people more than 10, in my opinion. Maybe 8 people if 1-2 adults agree to room with a child or be satisfied with a folding bed.

A very beautiful place that would however deserve a handyman to come for a walk to fix 2-3 little things here and there.
