Lakefront chalet, home theatre, hot tub

A rustic-chic lakefront chalet in La Minerve, where the lake outside the big windows turns to snow and ice in winter. Spend the day snowshoeing, cross-country skiing or on the snowmobile trails, and catch the last light over the lake on your way back. Evenings mean the hot tub, the fireplace and a movie in the home theatre. Room for up to 14.

Chalet du Lac Alphonse is a rustic yet chic waterfront chalet in La Minerve, made for families and groups of up to 14.

In winter, the lake freezes over beyond the big windows. The hot tub is at its best under falling snow, and the fireplace and the home theatre make for long, cozy evenings.

From the moment you arrive, you`re welcomed into a bright open living space with cathedral ceilings and big windows over the lake. Enjoy cozy evenings by the indoor gas fireplace, movie nights in the home theatre, or a game around the pool table.

The neighbourhood

Good to know
• There`s no cell signal at the chalet, but the wifi is strong: turn on wifi calling and your phone works normally. Being this far out, the wifi can occasionally be affected by bad weather.
• The water comes from the lake and goes through our treatment system, and it`s tested twice a year. It`s perfectly safe to drink. Because it comes from nature, it can sometimes have a slight yellow tint; that`s normal and doesn`t mean it isn`t clean.
• Coffee: a filter coffee maker and a Keurig.
• Pets are welcome.
• Life in nature: depending on the season you may meet a few Asian ladybugs, have a short power cut during a storm, or find a balcony only partly cleared of snow in winter. It`s part of the charm, and someone local is always a call away.
• This is a quiet place: no parties, no music outside. There are security cameras outside only, and a NoiseAware sensor that measures sound levels without recording anything.
