Le Repère welcomes you to the heart of the Mauricie region, in Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac, in an exceptional natural setting. Built right on the banks of the majestic Saint-Maurice River, this property offers a breathtaking view of the water and surrounding panorama. On the other side of the river lies La Mauricie National Park, with its sandy beach ideal for swimming. The deep blue of the river, the sunrises and sunsets and the moon reflected on the water create a unique and memorable atmosphere.
The large private dock allows you to take full advantage of the nautical pleasures with 4 single kayaks and a rowboat with oars (life jackets not supplied). The private, calm, current-free bay at the foot of the chalet is perfect for paddling in peace and quiet, for children and adults alike. Lovers of relaxation will enjoy reading or contemplating on an Adirondack chair, while fishing enthusiasts can tease bass, muskellunge, pike or lake sturgeon, which are very present in the area.
Popular with families, Le Repère offers over 3,500 square feet of living space and can accommodate up to 14 people. It's the ideal place to discover the Mauricie region, with its generous nature and changing colors with the seasons.
Perfect for telecommuting or shoulder-lake retreats, the chalet features unlimited high-speed Internet access. Working overlooking the Saint-Maurice River, in a calm and inspiring environment, allows you to combine productivity and well-being in an extraordinary setting.
