Our historic (1919) cottage is an architectural gem. Our guests include famous musicians and great naturalists. 2 1/ 2 hours from Montreal, 1 1/2 from Quebec City
If you love cottage life on a spectacular lake, then you have just found paradise. Connect with your true nature.
Beautiful and spacious, the Eco Chalet at Camp Comfort, is a rustic and luxurious heritage chalet; an oasis for the heart and soul. Located 2 h 20 from Montréal it is ideal for 6 to 12 persons. I consider up to 14 quiet people. Call Tom Axtell the owner, for more details. We don't accept motor boats or party groups.
Winter includes:
- Access to Disney Channel and 100 feature films (hard drive) Taylor Swift Eras Tour, 2160p 8 channels of sound!
- free kindling and firewood
- access to skates and x-cross country skiis
- camp fire
- skating rink (weather permitting), its good today (dec 21)
- hole in the ice with ladder for Polar Bear Challenge (most families have decided this is fun, and memorable)
The 130 feet of private beach front for you on Lac Aylmer is perfect for nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts. Two kayaks, a canoe and a Laser sailboat are available. Outdoor cinema (June-Oct) and Indoor (12 ft) cinema off season
Note: At the Eco Chalet we use boats that minimize the impact on the lake shoreline such as canoe, kayak and sailboats, and electric motors.
Large indoor space.
Inside the 2,400 square feet of Cap Cod style timber-frame architecture you will find 6 closed bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, stainless dishwasher, all bedding and towels, Internet (no password), DVD, outdoor spa all year long, perfect for a gathering of family or friends. A unique 1/4 circle deck over the water.
Set in the forest we could bottle and export the air, it is so good!
Wake up in the master bedroom ("Ah!") with a view of the lake. Everything feels natural and rustic inside, from hardwood floors to the bees-waxed cedar paneling to the maple sapling banister that takes you up the oak spiral staircase. No toxic materials used in the 100 year old building.
Take a bath with a view of the cedars. Serve meals in the great room (24' x 24') or the the large country kitchen with island or on the over the water deck. Relax in the spa before and after diving in the lake after the spa.
We have hosted nearly 30 yoga health retreats and was named by Reader's Digest as one of Canada's Top Ten Adult Summer Camps. Swim, take out the row boat, canoe, or kayak (2), Laser sail boat, or just sunbathe on the wooden deck. Kids will be dazzled to find in the forest a toy, fish pond, giant rock, and tree house with rope walkways.

Connecting with nature makes us happier, healthier and smarter
"You exist by your smile and your presence. You exist for your joys and your relaxations. You exist in nature. You are part of the glittering sea, and part of the luscious, well-nourished plants, you are wedded to the sun, you are immersed in timelessness, only the present counts, and from the present you extract all the essences which can nourish the senses, and so the nerves are still, the mind is quiet, the nights are lullabies, the days are like gentle ovens in which infinitely wise sculptor's hands re-form the lost contours, the lost sensations of the body? As you swim, you are washed of all the excrescences of so-called civilization, which includes the incapacity to be happy under any circumstances."
Anaïs Nin, 1947

NOTES 50% deposit upon booking. Weeks usually begin on Friday or Sunday and include one weekend. If you would like Sat. to Sat., you will pay the weekend rate added to your week. Basic price is for 8 people. You need to calculate for extra people to a maximum of 12 people. I occasionally accept more people (especially with children). More people requires additional costs for cleaning, wear and tear and to ensure that my sewage system complies with the municipal guidelines to protect the quality of lake water. We must pump out the tank after large groups. To date, Ward bay (3 x 5 km.) has good quality of water. The above rates INCLUDE all taxes. 14.9% is included. No taxes charged for long term rentals of 31 days or more. Always ask for "last minute specials", 21 days or less in advance, I am willing to take offers. That never happened before Xmas and other major holidays. You will receive an e-agreement when reserving. You must send me an electronic payment of 50% of the total to secure your reservation. We like Interac E-Mail payment offered by most banks which is very secure and costs .50 at the TD Bank. You can also pay online with VISA using PayPal and STRIPE (I will send you payment requests). You will pay fees with paypal and credit cards. The balance (50%) is required 4 weeks prior to booking start date. That is so that all the payment has been processed before you arrive. Yes, I do expect a deposit if you wish to reserve very early (i.e. January for July). Cancellation: 100% of total cost refunded up to 4 weeks prior to start date, (less 50$ admin. fee) Less than 3 weeks - you get back 60%, Less than 2 weeks - 30%, Less than 1 week - 20%.

| We arrived late Friday afternoon and from the minute we walked in we were in ?wow? mood. Very comfortable, warm ambiance, and you really only need to bring you, your food and cloths.
Lake is beautiful and I recommend this chalet to anyone who want to get away from the hustle and bustle. The only thing I regret?. Is not staying longer .

| Our family of 7 stayed at Camp Comfort to celebrate our "patriarch's" 70th birthday and have a week together after a very difficult 16 months.
Tom's chalet is a great place to relax, renew and re-energize! The deck on the beach over-
looking the water is perfect; we all so enjoyed the view from the hot tub as well. The big kids and little kids alike really had fun on the kayaks; and we all enjoyed sitting around the campfire after a "tough" day!!
The house is equipped with absolutely everything you'll need...just bring yourselves, food and clothes (of course). Movie night next door was spectacular and the weather cooperated!
This was our second stay and we plan on returning next summer for sure!
Thank you, Tom, for sharing your special place with us...

| Looney Bay cinema was great. We liked the lakeside deck the most. Spent lots of time there. We were 9 people and there is lots of room. Fire pit at night along with canoes and kayaks during the day. Tom the owner puts out a lot of stuff for you to use. Great value.

| We were a family of 5 adults for s feral nights. Very comfortable, clean, cozy, great location, accommodating host (fresh organic fruit would greet us on the dock), eclectic touches. Very nice lake and spectacular morning sunrises on dock
He was right, all we needed was ourselves, food and clothes....everything else was there. Fully equipped kitchen, books, games
Thoroughly enjoyed the movie nights outdoors on the big screen
Great hike at Mont Ham, golf at Adstock...
