A Dream Rooted in Family
For Mario, Les Chalets du Lac Croche is more than just a retreat—it is the realization of a lifelong dream. Having traveled across the world in search of a peaceful sanctuary, he always imagined owning a chalet in the heart of the Canadian forest. But this dream was not only his; it was also his mother’s. Her vision of a home surrounded by nature, where family could come together and find serenity, became the guiding force behind this journey.
Today, Mario shares this dream with his loved ones, ensuring that every guest feels the warmth and authenticity of this special place.
Two Unique Chalets, One Incredible Destination
Nestled along the shores of Lac Croche, in the breathtaking region of Nominingue, our two chalets offer two distinct yet complementary experiences. One embraces rustic charm, immersing you in an authentic wood cabin atmosphere, while the other showcases modern elegance with contemporary comfort. No matter which you choose, both chalets are designed to provide a peaceful escape, blending seamlessly into the surrounding natural beauty.
At Les Chalets du Lac Croche, we believe in creating an experience that goes beyond just accommodation. Here, you will find not only tranquility and breathtaking landscapes but also everything you need to make your stay truly memorable.
A Place to Reconnect
More than just a getaway, this place is a sanctuary for connection—with nature, with oneself, and with loved ones. From the first rays of the morning sun shimmering on the lake to evenings spent under a sky filled with stars, every moment here is designed to bring peace and wonder. Whether you’re paddling across the crystal-clear waters, exploring nearby hiking trails, or simply enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, our chalets provide the perfect backdrop for your own unforgettable story.

After spending time at one of the chalets du Lac Croche, we want to express how much we appreciated this wonderful retreat. Upon our arrival, we were amazed by the silence, the tranquility, the birds chirping—an enchanting setting far from the noise and crowded roads, where peace and serenity reign. The chalets are magnificent, thoughtfully designed on the outside, and just by looking at them, you know comfort awaits inside.
I adored the view of the lake, the forest, and the stunning outdoor firepit area—it is truly splendid. Thank you for allowing people to rent this dreamlike location, this enchanting haven, where they can create and cherish wonderful moments. Everything about this place is truly fantastic.
