YOUR "AU MÉLÉZIN" RETREAT
Built by my own hands with passion, this chalet marries authentic Laurentian charm with Asian artworks from my travels. We call it "Au Mélézin" – larch forest – as these majestic trees surround the property and their precious wood was even used in the construction!
Nestled in a natural sanctuary on a quiet street, the cottage sits equidistant from the village hearts of Val-David and Val-Morin (20-minute walk, 5-minute drive). A perfect island of serenity between dense woodlands and peaceful marshes, where spotting deer and other wildlife is a delightful common occurrence.
Main floor:
The open-concept main space welcomes you with its soaring cathedral ceiling and exposed beams that give the place all its character. The semi-professional kitchen (36" gas range, farmhouse sink, quality cookware) invites culinary adventures, while the gas fireplace creates a cozy ambiance. The master bedroom features the same exposed beams, and the bathroom offers a multi-jet shower, heated floors, and washer-dryer combo.
Upper floor:
A romantic under-the-eaves bedroom awaits with its freestanding soaking tub positioned to admire the treetops. The office space equipped for two with dedicated workstations lets you stay connected in complete tranquility.
Lower level:
The relaxation lounge proudly displays my Thai artworks, a large sectional sofa, and flat-screen TV with Apple TV 4K, all on oak hardwood floors. The third bedroom, with its unique canopy bed, completes the space with a full bathroom.
Outdoor:
The expansive deck features a 5-burner BBQ and spacious dining area with lounge chairs for relaxing moments. The backyard, surrounded by mature trees, provides a beautiful woodland setting. The fire area with outdoor fireplace and authentic Adirondack chairs creates the perfect ambiance for starlit evenings.
YOUR PRIVATE DOMAIN
You'll enjoy exclusive access to the entire chalet, including all outdoor spaces: expansive deck with BBQ, wooded backyard, and fire area with outdoor fireplace.
Parking included:
Three spots are reserved for you in front of the property – two uncovered spaces plus one covered space in the carport equipped with an electric vehicle charger (Level 2).
Private areas:
For your complete peace of mind, only two small storage rooms in the basement remain reserved for hosts (clearly marked). Everything else is yours during your stay: all three levels of the chalet, including the lounge, bedroom, and bathroom on the lower level.
Enjoy your temporary home with complete freedom!
A SPECIAL NATURE SANCTUARY
Between two villages:
Equidistant from the charming villages of Val-David and Val-Morin, the chalet nestles in a peaceful cul-de-sac on a large wooded lot. Neighboring homes respect your privacy, while the backyard offers a true forest clearing experience.
Nature immersion:
Large bay windows facing east open onto an entirely natural panorama: dense forest, tranquil marshlands, and rolling hills. Wake to birdsong in the morning, drift to sleep with the evening chorus of frogs. Visiting deer in your yard add that magical touch!
Prime location:
Perfectly centered in the Val-David–Val-Morin region, you're minutes from Lake Raymond and Val-Morin golf course on one side, the regional park and Val-David's artisan shops on the other. The P'tit Train du Nord trail and Rivière du Nord frame this privileged position.
EXPLORE THE AREA
By car, at the heart of it all:
Reach the picturesque villages and Val-David–Val-Morin Regional Park in just 5 minutes. Family-friendly ski hills Vallée Bleue and Belle Neige also await you within 5-10 minutes. For major destinations: Mont Saint-Sauveur (20 min), Morin-Heights (25 min), Mont Blanc (25 min), Mont-Tremblant village (30 min), and the majestic Mont-Tremblant National Park (45 min).
On foot, authentic discovery:
Val-David beckons just 20-25 minutes away through a charming walk. This artists' village brims with cozy cafés, artisan boutiques, and delicious restaurants. On the Val-Morin side (same distance), discover Ayawan microbrewery and Théâtre du Marais, a vibrant venue for shows and concerts.
By bike, adventure awaits:
The legendary P'tit Train du Nord, a 234-kilometer cycling trail, runs just a few hundred meters from the cottage! Within a few pedal strokes, you're off on your adventure. First suggested destination: Lake Raymond and its inviting beach, just 8 minutes by bike.

SEASONAL COMFORT OPTIMIZED
Winter period (December 1st to April 30th):

Summer period (May 1st to August 31st):
The indoor gas fireplace is out of service (pilot light off) during the warm season. Instead, enjoy the outdoor fireplace and all the deck equipment for your evenings under the stars!
These seasonal adjustments allow us to optimize your comfort and equipment safety according to the weather.
