Commentary:
We spent 2 weeks in Sylvie's beautiful chalet and enjoyed every day. Swimming in the lake, hiking on Mont Ham and Mont Mégantic or just relaxing. The house is very nice and fully equipped. One big plus: There are tons of good books for every age. We had three rainy days and spent most of the time reading. The kids loved it, and so did we. Besides, Sylvie is a fantastic host. We will come back. » Sebastian, Montreal

| Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour! C'est une maison qui a une âme. Elle est accueillante et très confortable pour les trois générations de notre famille. Nous avons circulé dans la région à l'aide de vos indications: randonnées pédestre et ski de fond au Mont-Ham, randonnée et glissade à la Forest Habitée et même une visite à l'Astrolab. En fin de journée, nous avons visionné plusieurs films au grand bonheur de nos petits-enfants. Nous pensons déjà à la prochaine occasion que nous aurions de retourner.

| Bonjour Sylvie-Anne
Notre séjour dans votre merveilleuse maison de campagne a contribué à faire de notre 20ème week-end de filles une autre rencontre mémorable remplie de nouveaux et joyeux souvenirs. Nous avons apprécié la tranquillité des lieux, la douceur des draps et le confort des matelas, nous avons aussi apprécié l'ambiance, la luminosité et toute l'espace à notre disposition pour danser à notre guise !! Même avec la modernité de toutes les commodités, vous avez conservé ce petit air de chalet nécessaire à une certaine déconnexion de la vie urbaine?
Je voulais prendre le temps de vous dire combien nous avons apprécié notre séjour à la Salamandre. Si les murs ont des oreilles, j'espère qu'ils répéteront nos fous rires, nos chansons, et tous nos échanges de pur bonheur...
Depuis toutes ces années, nous nous faisons un devoir, par respect pour vous, les locateurs, de remettre cela le plus propre possible à notre départ, c'est notre marque de commerce. J'espère que le tout était à la hauteur de la confiance que vous nous avez accordée.
C'est vers 14h45 que nous avons quitté à regret, votre oasis de paix.
Alors un merci des plus sincère de la part des 6 copines.
Linda, Sara, Chantal, Jocelyne,Sylvie et Johanne.

| La maison était parfaite pour un rassemblement familial pendant les fêtes. Notre famille a loué un chalet au lieu de faire des échanges de cadeaux. Nous étions 6 adultes et 5 enfants.
Nous avons passé quelques jours merveilleux ! Il a neigé les deux jours où on y était. Quelques-uns de la famille ont monté le Mont Ham, d'autres ont pris des marches et ont fait de la raquette. Les enfants ont eu du plaisir à glisser, à lire, à regarder Le petit Nicolas et Les choristes et ont joué au ping-pong. La cuisine et la table étaient parfaites pour les repas en commun. Et bien sûr, le feu de foyer était agréable.
Merci Sylvie!

| Quel bonheur nous avons vécu à la Salamandre!!!
Nous étions un groupe d'amis avec des bébés et avons passé une fin de semaine de rêve dans ce magnifique chalet entouré d'arbres majestueux, au bord d'un grand lac tranquille, ou il fait bon de marcher dans la neige. Avec les enfants nous avons beaucoup apprécié que les chambres soient aux étages permettant aux couche-tards de finir leur soirée et aux enfants de se reposer. Le chalet est calme, vaste et chaleureux, on a pris plaisir à fouiller dans la chouette bibliothèque de la maison (avec entre autre une belle collection de livres pour enfants de tous âges, n'Amenez rien!). Nous avons eu la chance d'y vivre la plus grosse tempête de l'hiver qui a rendu les lieux féériques. Incapable de prendre la route, la plupart d'entre nous sommes restés une nuit de plus, attendant que la tempête se calme, nuit pour laquelle sylvie nous a répondu rapidement et nous a chaleureusement accomodés vu la situation, avec grande générosité. Même le voisin est sympa! Et que dire de ces fenêtres! Vraiment, que du bonheur. Assurez-vous peut-être que la plupart d'Entre puissent dormir sur des matelas parfois un peu désuets mais somme toute, les chambres étaient bien confortables. Tout le monde y a trouvé son compte et veut renouveler l'expérience. Merci belle Salamndre, merci encore Sylvie.
