Nous avons passé nos vacances de Noël dans ce superbe chalet. L'endroit est très calme et parfait pour se reposer. Nous avons profité de la température froide pour faire du patin sur le lac. Et du foyer pour se réchauffer. Le propriétaire est vraiment sympathique et toujours présent pour répondre à nos questions.
Nous avons tellement aimé notre expérience qu'on reviendra pour la semaine de relâche.

Owner response:
Un immense merci, Maryse et Jocelyn pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un si beau Noël au chalet. C'était impressionnant de voir la patinoire que vous avez aménagée sur le lac; savoir que vos enfants ont pu y patiner toute la journée est exactement l'expérience magique que nous souhaitons offrir à nos invités. Ce fut un réel plaisir d'être là pour répondre à vos questions, et nous avons déjà très hâte de vous accueillir de nouveau pour la semaine de relâche au Cachette Sérendipité !

Nous avons passé une belle semaine sereine au chalet. Très bel endroit propre et accueillant. Le grand balcon arrière est un must pour les amoureux des oiseaux (pas peureux!) et pour prendre son café tranquillement le matin. À côté du quai, la terrasse a été mon endroit préféré pour relaxer et lire. Merci Tony!

Location, location, location! We stayed at Tony's chalet during the summer and found it magical! With the crystal clear waters of Lac David, the sunsets on the dock, the tranquil surroundings and the lush forest, it was a perfect spot for a family holiday. The chalet, the grounds, and the amenities, are exceptionally well maintained, and we really enjoyed using the paddleboards and kayaks (Tony even provides life jackets). Moreover, Tony was available to answer all our questions. Thank you!

We had a lovely time at the Serendipity Hideaway! We spent a peaceful week at the well appointed lakefront chalet. It was nice to go out in the kayaks and paddle boards on the calm lake. We also did a couple nice day trips to les chutes Dorwin and the suspension bridge and trails on the rivière Ouareau, which were fairly close. The owner was easy to contact and very helpful with any questions we had. Highly recommend.

Owner response:
Thank you so much DOnalda for your wonderful 5 star review! We're delighted that your family had a peaceful and enjoyable stay at Serendipity Hideaway ! It's great to hear that you made the most of the kayaks and paddleboards on the calm lake and explored the beautiful nearby attractions like Les Chutes Dorwin and the suspension bridge at Rivière Ouareau. We truly appreciate your kind words about our hospitality, and it would be our absolute pleasure to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway. Thank you and hope to see you again soon!

Nous avons passé un superbe sejour de 4 jours entre amies et nous comptons bien y revenir. Le chalet est vraiment chaleureux et la vue sur le lac est magnifique. Nous avons profité des embarcations pour aller sur l'eau et ensuite relaxer sur la terrasse. Tout était impeccable et hyper propre. Le proprio prend vraiment soin de son chalet ainsi que de ses locataires. Que du positif à dire pour ce superbe chalet. Merci Tony

Merci beaucoup Sylvie pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un superbe séjour entre amies et que vous ayez pu profiter pleinement du chalet, de la vue sur le lac, ainsi que des kayaks et des "Stand-up Paddleboards". Votre appréciation de la propreté et du soin que nous apportons à l'expérience de nos invités nous fait vraiment plaisir. Ce serait notre plaisir de vous accueillir une troisième fois pour un autre séjour mémorable ! À très bientôt !
