Chalet Algonquin

Cottage was perfect for our group. There’s enough space to be comfortable and we all had a nice little getaway.

Superbe chalet pour un gros groupe!

An amazing chalet. Right on the water, clean, every single amenity you could think of right down to a milk jug lol. Super fast response time from the host and always very gelpful. The bottle of bubbly upon our arrival was such a nice welcoming touch. We loved the place and would def go back anytime.

Lovely cottage, perfect for a little escape from the city. Sleeps 10 people very comfortably in beautiful bedrooms. Really nice personal touches with a bottle of sparkling wine awaiting us and fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooking for many people. The only small thing that was a little disappointing was the description of the “lake front” property and the water not being very suitable for swimming. The overall experience was still excellent and we would definitely return! Gabrielle was lovely, very helpful and the place was impeccably clean and welcoming!

Great place for a getaway with friends and family. Gabrielle was a great host and was helpful. Just be warned that it is an area in the forest so no cell service and wifi is really slow but Gabrielle will warn you about that. We had a great 3 night stay and will definitely look to come back again!

We had an excellent stay at Gabrielle's place, the cottage and Lake are beautiful. The walk to the lake is a short jaunt downhill, could be hard for people with disability to access. The Wi-Fi is slow but this wasn't a big deal for us.

Gabrielle is an excellent host!! Answers fast and is always there if you have questions. Place was sparkling clean and well located as well. Kitchen full equipped for breakfast and supper! Stay was simply amazing! Would recommend and go back!!

Pros: -well stocked kitchen (lots of kitchen tools, pots, pans, etc.) -great space, good size rooms and bathrooms -very clean-lots of communal space -30 seconds to the pond-ample hot water -comfortable beds -kayaks available -Gabrielle was very responsive Cons: -I wanted to work remotely for a couple of days and mentioned this to Gabrielle she said "I would just like to let you know that the internet is fully functional but can experience some difficulties if there are multiple users on it at the same time. Cell service is best on the main floor." Unfortunately, wi-fi was basically unusable - one person at a time could check their email, but no more. Extremely slow even with one person trying to use it. But, the real problem was that there was very, very poor cell reception (we had people on bell, rogers, telus and videotron and were planning on using data to work), none of us could get more than one bar the whole time. Even communicating to Gabrielle when the air conditioning broke down was difficult because reception was so bad. Would have liked more clarity beforehand because we would have downloaded a lot more playlists and planned for no internet access. My boyfriend even ended up driving up the road to get better reception in order to get some work done. -Air conditioning stopped working on the second day. We got it working again but there's a lack of refrigerant in the AC unit (one of our group was an HVAC tech and spent an hour chipping ice off the unit) so it only worked at about 50% efficiency for the remainder of our visit (they did send a tech the next day but he couldn't help). -There's a lot of confusion about who can use the 'docks' on the privately-owned pond or not. There are a lot of cottages around the pond that don't have direct pond access but people walk down and use whatever docks they please. This cottage, fortunately has its own dock, but we had a lot of people using our dock. It wasn't a problem, but there was a lot of chaos and I guess some lawsuits and fights between owners. Other info: -The pond is quite small; good for floating around in boats, floaties but not for swimming. -It's a private community of a ton of similar cottages, there were a lot of parties around the area. -We would stay again, but I would have preferred more details on wi-fi, cell reception and the pond/dock situation.
