The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our own meals every day, which saved tons of money (restaurants in Montreal are expensive). The best part of the apartment is the gorgeous deck, where we spent every evening enjoying dinner, wine, and relaxing. The apartment is about a 10-15 minute walk to Marche Jean-Talon, which is the first thing we did in Montreal-- stocked up on tons of fresh fruits, veggies, local meats and eggs and bread. The apartment is only 5 minutes walk to the Beaubien Metro (subway), which we used almost every day to explore the sights of Montreal. The subway is clean and extremely efficient, and cost-effective if you buy an Opus card. Alain was a nice host (he and his wife live downstairs), and although we didn't need anything, he made sure we knew we could always knock on his door if we did. The rental process itself was easy, and he immediately refunded to us our security deposit after we checked out. Overall, a wonderful experience, and we can't wait to go back!

Need a weekend away from the city? Want to be surrounded by nothing but peace and nature?…read more Domaine Ste Agathe is absolutely where you need to go. I forget how many times we've stayed there - 8 or 9, I think. We've gone alone and also have brought our friends up. We try to rent a different house every time. Although all of the Swiss style homes are similar, each one has it's own charm (one is right at the top of a mountain, one has a second fireplace at the indoor pool, one has an amazing spa/pool on the deck, etc). They allow you to bring your dogs for a very small fee of $10 per night which is perfect for us, we bring our two Chihuahuas everywhere. Choose between having a hot tub or a pool.....or you can have both. Choose between 1 bedroom all the way up to 6 bedrooms. They have about 30 different fully equipped homes that will absolutely make you happy, whatever you're looking for. The family that runs it is absolutely lovely and so helpful. We'll be back!

This little hotel was perfect. Clean, well decorated, and full stocked with cooking and eating utensils, fridge, dishwasher, stove, microwave, toaster oven, etc. The place is perfect. The bed is comfortable, there are plenty of pillows (a comfortable bed and good pillows are a must for me), and free internet. There aren't many parking spaces around, so if you have a car, let the owner know ahead of time. She let us use her private parking space, which is fine for us, but do call ahead and make sure that there is room. The toilet flushes a little funky, but overall the place is clean and exactly what we need for a slightly longer stay that lets us feel more like living in a home. You will not get daily maid service, but this is fine for us as we usually don't let the maids in when we are in a hotel (it makes us feel pressured to clean up before they come in). However, if you need anything (extra towels for example), the owner is available during business hours. Overall, this is perfect for what we wanted. At a big chain hotel, we would be paying twice the rate to get half the things in terms of size and convenience. Plus, this place is much quieter! No screaming kids running down a hallway outside! I would definitely come back, and it's also nice to know that I'm supporting a small local business.

(SUMMARY AT THE END)…read more The family decided to treat itself to a luxury chalet rental for our summer vacation. We wanted a place with plenty of space, waterfront and, since we'd be travelling with 2 kids under three, not too far from Montreal. Luckily we already heard of Chalets Oasis. (Yes it's part of the Fiddler Lake gated community but it's a long/weird complicated story that seems to punish Chalets Oasis renters) So at 600$+ a night we found our luxury rental. Every aspect related to booking and renting went perfectly. The week leading up to the rental date I found myself taking the initiative to know things such as the access code, which, for the price I found odd but dismissed. Also checkin was at 4:00 (total waste of a day)! Again, a bit surprised considering the price. There was an option for early checkin at noon but I had to inquire. Chalets Oasis should always assume early checkin is preferable. It costs an additional (somewhat insulting) 35$ but I would have paid for it. Upon our arrival we noticed the outside was littered with cigarette butts and shards of glass. Look don't get me wrong, it was a great location, a huge house and plenty of amenities. It's clear however the owners do NOT even visit here otherwise they would have noticed that: - most hinges and door handles need to be replaced - bathtub stoppers don't work (remember kids) - loose/cracked tiles here and there - and other tiny details that most people probably wouldn't care about Again I refer to the price and suggest that Chalets Oasis needs to focus on the final touches and stop continuing to kick the repair can down the road

We got lucky - if it wasn't for the cancellation a week before we wouldn't have had the chance to discover these great Chalets! Parking is easy! Each chalet has its own spot. Our parking spot was plowed and the walkways were shoveled. We had no issue getting our key using the code box by the front door, very cool concept! The chalet itself was warm, inviting, cozy, very clean, and the kitchen is MORE than fully equipped. I loved the towel swans; such a classy touch! The private jacuzzi inside the sheltered gazebo was super clean and simply awesome. The chalets were easy to find and the location was so quiet and tranquil. Beautiful lake view. Cool Thing #1: They have a book exchange! There are random books on a shelf. If you start to read one and enjoy it while you're there, you can take it with you when you leave the chalet; they just ask that you leave another one behind if you do. I also found a Sudoku game book by the front door! Cool Thing #2: There is a comment book that they leave on the kitchen table. Many guests have written great things in the book and it was really nice to read about their experiences at the chalet! So many positive comments. We wrote a little something in the book too, it was too much fun! We left COMPLETELY relaxed and very pleased. My Husband is not easily pleased and he was very, very happy with everything. My only two suggestions would be to provide a few extra garbage bags (especially for guests who are staying longer than one night like we did) and a few extra tea towels for dish drying would be helpful too. 100% Return-Worthy since we are already talking about our next visit. Thank you, emme Chalets! We'll see you next time!

Only downside I had was that I consider them slightly expensive but as a touristy area you can't hate on them for that. Reductions for multiple nights stay on their part is a benefit however. We ended up having private use of the hot tub (with christmas lights around) and greatly enjoyed our studio room. We were offered to upgrade at no cost however were happier with the layout of the smaller room. Fireplace and wood included which was a beautiful addition. Updated kitchen and bathroom with all the kitchenware you would need (fondu kit included). Was very impressed with the overall maintenance, hard to find a trustworthy hot tub! Boyfriend forgot his computer charger there and they even brought it with them on their next visit into Montreal. Would love to come back here in the summer and take advantage of their lakeside amenities.

We made this home for a week on our family vacation in Mont Tremblant. We had been to this…read morewonderful resort a decade earlier, staying in the heart of the resort village. This time, we wanted a bit more quiet and stayed at the old village, which was the best choice to appreciate the local culture and enjoy relaxation and quiet nights. Club Privilege Mont Tremblant Voliere resembles the original layouts of old Residence Inns, with separate buildings housing five or six units of different sizes. It has a separate driveway off Chemin de Village and has two small parking areas which on high season, could likely become overcrowded. There is a pool which is un heated, and unserviceable in the Winter. Apparently the management used to have coffee in the morning or breakfast, but if so, it must be in non-winter season as the room was always empty. The units are small and cozy with newer propane fireplaces. We stayed in a two-bedroom, two-bath condo. Although small and perhaps tired, the units are quite efficient and were enough for our family of five people. The en-suite bathroom on the master bedroom was small, and with a shower so small that a large person wouldn't even be able to bend. The one thing that stood out was that the units were very clean. Kitchens are well equipped with refrigerators, range and oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. As well as a large storage space. The location of the complex is superb. Six minute walk to the Old Village center with its iconic Hotel Mont Tremblant. Three minute walk to the bus stop to the resort. Two minutes to the grocery store. Two minutes to the ice skating center. Enviable. Overall it was exactly what we needed.

We recently had a very disappointing experience at the Privilege Mont-Tremblant-Voliere #2272…read moreSitelle 4. Throughout the week, we had to deal with persistant flies in the bathroom, despite our best offert to keep the window closed. Moreover, there was a consistant foul smell that permeated the room creating an uncomfortable environment all week. As it turns out, those flies are drain flies and they are attracted to sewage and filth because where they lay eggs and breed. There are commonly found around leaking pipes or faulty bathroom drains. This explains the foul smell we put up with all week. At the beginning of our stay we asked for another condo and they say no that they were fully booked. To compound our disappointment, the presence of ongoing construction drilling noise in the foundation of our condo was significant nuisance. The disturbance began at around 9:00-9:30am with workers engaging activities such as talking, digging, and moving equipment. Later in the day, the sound of drilling into the foundation became particularly disruptive. This constant noise made it impossible to relax, read, watch tv or concentrate on work--one of us needed to complete remote work during our stay. I made an effort to address these issues with the hotel staff, but I was met with indifference. Their response, suggesting that there was nothing they could as the construction had to continue, left me feeling unheard and frustrated. It would have been appreciated if we had been informed in advance of the plan of the construction, allowing us to make an informed decision about our stay. As a result, we spent an entire day with windows closed to minimize noise, and we had to keep the blinds shut to maintain privacy, as our room was situated on the ground floor. Upon our return I contacted RCI Timeshare and their response was "RCI does not own or manage affiliated resorts; therefore, we have no control over refurbishment schedules" and then they did a copy and paste of : "In the future, if a concern arises during your RCI vacation exchange, it is imperative that you work directly with resort staff to resolve the matter.  It is ultimately each resort's responsibility to ensure its facility is well maintained and offers guests an enjoyable vacation experience.  Should you be dissatisfied with the outcome, please contact RCI during your stay.  By contacting us, you allow us the opportunity to respond to your concerns immediately." Had I known earlier what those flies were I would have never stayed in that condo! I really never expected that kind of condo rental. I really think this was a health concern for my family to breath that foul smell all week and have those flies in the bathroom constantly. Overall, this experience was far from the peaceful stay we anticipated, and I cannot in good conscience recommend this establishment to others. And I would have a hard time recommending anyone to purchase a RCI Timeshare! It wasn't worth the extra $420 and my RCI points I had to pay for the week.

Even if you're only here for the day Le 2800 is the perfect base of operations as you can grab a coffee at their café in the morning or stop for a bite to eat at their restaurant for lunch or dinner. They offer a variety of accommodation options to suite groups of different sizes, all the way up to a six bedroom house that can accommodate as many as 16 guests. We've stayed here a couple of times and the staff is very friendly and the accommodations have been perfect. Clean practical and in such a good location. Additionally at Le 2800 they are right on the river so you can enjoy some downtime on the dock after a full day of activities in the Parc. I highly recommend Le 2800 du Parc and will certainly stay here again in the future.
