Intimité violée

Nous avons vécu une expérience TERRIBLE en ces lieux: Nous sommes un couple en général très tolérant et très compréhensif face à plusieurs situations... Mais celle-ci ne passe totalement pas. J'ai réservé à l'aide du service de Hotel.com pour obtenir une nuit romantique au chalet avec ma copine. Lors de notre arrivé, le lave-vaisselle n'était pas fomctionnel et j'ai appelé pour en aviser. La dame (Jeanne) était courtoise et nous a avisé que ces "jeunes" passeraient pour régler le problème le temps nous allions à l'épicerie... Au retour le lave-vaisselle n'était toujours pas fonctionnel mais on s'est dit que ce n'était pas la fin du monde. Par contre à 22:15 du 7 octobre 2024 la porte s'ouvrit subitement, un homme visiblement en colère ouvre la porte agressivement pour réclamer le chalet lorsque nous étions à moitié nu sur place, nous allions nous coucher à se moment. J'ai tenté à deux reprises d'appeler les hôtes pour comprendre la situation, j'ai envoyé un message via l'application et aussi un message texte. Puisque j'avais bu de l'alcool et qu'il était tard c'était mieux pour nous de rester sur place mais ma copine en panique voulait quitter mais sans réponse de la part des hôtes. Ma copine et moi avions eu de la.difficulté à dormir pour le restant de la nuit. Jeanne nous a refusé un dédommagement, nous accusant de mauvaise foi et que c'était seulement la faute du monsieur malgré qu'elle a fait un double booking, elle ne s'est aucunement mit à notre place.

The picture of the lake on the front page of the property listing is deceiving. The property needs lots of improvements. The stairs to my room under the eves were very narrow. I had difficulty hauling my carry-on to the room. The furniture was old. The linen and the towels were white at some point. They were more grayish.

It was a lovely stay! The host, Chris, was a really kind and frendly guy and the breakfast he made for us was amazing. Unfortunately it was rainy when we visited the place, but the (frozen) lake view was beautiful. The room itself was also well decorated with Peruvian stuff. I wish I can come back here in summer :)

The property manager was nice, he speaks various languages. When we arrived, he wasn't there and the house was picked so we had to wait until 7pm. Other than that, it is a beautiful and welcoming place!

Lake-front B&B near Parc National Mauricie

The B&B hosts were very friendly and helpful, providing lots of good tips on what to visit. The room was in excellent condition, with nice furnishings and a view over the lake (we saw a spectacular thunderstorm over the water one night). Breakfast is home made, with lots of fruit, yogurt, crepes, coffee, juice and more. Very nice all round.

Serene little get-away near Mauricie National Park

Note: this is not a corporate hotel, but a bed & breakfast style accomodation. We stayed in the economy room, which had a lovely view of the lake. It is quite small, but two walls are basically all windows, so it feels more spacious. The room itself had a cute South American themed decor, and a very comfortable bed. The hosts, Christian and Jeanne are very welcoming, and speak both French and English. You have the option of renting canoes or other outdoor equipment on site for a very affordable rate. We paid an extra few dollars for the breakfast, which was well worth the money! We enjoyed homemade crepes, and our choice of beverages. Jeanne gave us lots of information about things to do in the area, as well as La Mauricie National Park maps and tips. I recommend Gîte du lac à la tortue for a relaxing and quiet stay.
