Equipment included in our chalets

Our chalets are “fully equipped”: beddings, dishes, pots, utensils, toaster, coffee maker (filters included), microwave, paper towels, dishwashing soap, salt, pepper, sugar, tissues, hand + body and hair soap, towels (changed on request), hair dryer, three-season outdoor furniture, high-speed Wi-Fi, mini-stereo, cable TV and DVD player.

All chalets are equipped with a wood stove. The 1816 is an apartment (not a chalet) and does not have one. The Maison aux Lucarnes in St-Irénée has a gas fireplace. A box with wood is included in the price of your stay from mid-September to the end of May. Outside of this period, there is a fee of $10 to use the wood or have the box filled with wood.

The chalets and the 1816 have an outdoor fireplace nearby (except the chalets Astral, Champêtre, Maritime and chalet  #10, where the outdoor fire pit is shared and located in the center of the property).

Seven of our chalets are equipped with a large double bath: Astral, Champêtre, Maritime, chalets #8-9-10-11. The 1816 is equipped with a large italian shower and a deep clawfoot tub.
