The Story of Chalet Renne

The Chalet Renne, which translates to Reindeer Chalet, was built in 2011 by a French family who made a beautiful home with many modern comforts. Features like soaring ceilings, large windows and a bright, open-plan great room. A unique furniture set was selected to match the house and to make comfort a top priority.

With artistic design details woven throughout the house in reclaimed wood and overlooking a scintillating, mineral rich lake, Chalet Renne is the ideal place to deepen a connection with the unceded Anishinabewaki and Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin) lands north of Montreal.

Laid out over three levels, this four-bedroom luxury chalet has space for up to eight guests sharing bedrooms + three more sharing the basement relax room. This location is for people who love to swim in a quiet lake, go on a hike in a neighbouring provincial park, ski, snowshoe, bike, and soak up the four Canadian seasons.

Guests of Chalet Renne can immerse themselves in a health retreat with access to a private yoga room equipped with hot yoga warmers, and a completely private, outdoor hot tub, and dry sauna.
