This is a modern chalet, Nordic style, which we love! The place is [a] beautiful, high-end product. We have come to know Lac Supérieur for a long time now, and love the whole complex, the restaurants, the grocery store, the lake, the game room, everything about it! This year we didn't get to ice-skate due to the weather sadly, but it is still a magical place.
Shawn and Brad couldn't be sweeter, so much kind attention, a lot of communication during our short stay. 200% recommended! BONUS - I LOVED the cedar and sage toiletries, had to look them up to get some for our home!

Shawn and Brad were great hosts and Spahaus 7 was perfect for a
2-night stop on our girls trip! They were proactive and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed. The place’s beautiful scenery, hot tub, and proximity to Mont Tremblant [20-minutes to the south side] were the highlight for us.

Fantastic. Look forward to visiting again. Our family had a wonderful time skiing, skating at the outdoor rink and playing in the snow. Marche and two local restaurants are very close.

Fantastic! Shawn [and Brad] were great hosts. We felt so welcomed from the beginning. It was our first overnight trip with our infant. Knowing this [the hosts] went out of [their] way to set up the crib and high chair which was really appreciated after a long drive.
The property itself was immaculate and in an absolute beautiful location. The [host’s] guidebook on local eats, trails and shopping was so helpful. We can totally see ourselves coming back here to finish off his guide of the area as we didn’t have time to do everything we wanted.
I would recommend this place to anyone from families looking for adventure to couples looking for a peaceful romantic stay. Thanks so much for helping us make great memories!

This was our second time staying here and it didn’t disappoint again. It is such a cozy beautiful and peaceful place. It’s so nice to come back from the busyness of Tremblant to this little piece of heaven to relax and spend quality time together. The hosts are amazing! Thanks for sharing this with us.

We had an amazing stay - peaceful, relaxing and lots of options for activities and restaurants. The surroundings and the chalet were beautiful. Loved being able to walk to the resort, restaurants and grocery store. Beds and pillows were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you, Shawn and Brad, for the wonderful vacation rental!

Not only is the place stunning and very relaxing (was also great with my infant son as they had a baby crib), but the hosts are extremely nice. Answered questions promptly and were just kind about everything in general.

Brad and Shawn’s house is surprisingly highly equipped and very well thought through with a great attention given to details, and also a lot of taste. It’s nice to feel secluded in a nice area and also have access to a Club at walking distance with a fine lake.
On top Brad [and Shawn] are very easy to talk too and helpful. Definitely a 5 star Airbnb experience.

A truly beautiful experience, highly recommend!
Shawn and Brad were great hosts. Everything in the space was incredibly clean, organized and well thought out. We had everything we needed for a perfect and relaxing week vacation away from the city.
The space was so nicely designed. We especially loved the large windows that made it easy to feel connected to nature from anywhere in the house. The kitchen was awesome - fully equipped.

Amazing retreat just 1.5 hours from Montreal but a world away. Great design to the home and all you could need for a relaxing time in the mountains. The kitchen to living room ,blending into the outside space was where we spent nearly all our time. Don’t miss the Club for access to the lake as it is a gem of a mountain lake.
Also some great hikes in the area. Shawn [and Brad] were regular but efficient communicators including helpful signs throughout the home.
