The Space:
Le Rivat is spacious and welcoming. You will find all the amenities you need for cooking, as well as bed linens and bath towels.

The home was comfortable, pleasant, with room for our group. It was a hot week and we did not have AC. We washed clothes and towels daily. So we were thankful for the main floor laudry. I will take fans if I go again in summer.Also, ground floor bathroom has no shower, so plan for that with elderly or disabled guests We loved the house. Couches and dining were comfortable and we liked the deck overlooking the river.
The space was great for our party of 11 - bigger then it looked on the photos. We really enjoyed the location and the common areas. Some complaints are that the pillows were awful - lumpy and uncomfortable.This house does NOT sleep 14 people. Our smallest person, a12 year old child, could not fit on the futon beds. And there was no extra bedding even if that had been possible. Other then that, it was well appointed, the bathrooms were great and the laundry area was good. We especially loved that the house had been decorated for Christmas.
Tout était parfait L’accueil et la disponibilité de l’hôte étaient vraiment excellent À chacune de mes demandes, j’ai eu une réponse rapide et positive Merci J’espère que nous avons laissé le chalet à votre goût ?Aussi, ma fille a oublié deux gros ice packs dans le congélateur La personne qui s’est occupée de la nourriture au départ pensait que c’était à vous Y a t’il un endroit où elle pourrait les récupérer? Ce sont des trucs qui vont dans un sac à dos et en racheter couterait 50 Donc si elle peut aller les chercher à un endroit elle apprécierait beaucoup merci.
Le chalet était parfait mais les enfants auraient aimé avoir une télévision pour écouter leurs émissions et nous les adultes c était un radio à part ça c était correct bye-bye
Belle propriété, accueillante par contre plusieurs points négatifs : manque de produits pour la lessive et lave-vaisselle, pas de couteaux aiguisés pour la coupe, pas de savon pour les mains dans les salles de bain. La propreté des lieux laisse à désirer : balayeuse non passée, des mousses se promènent au sous-sol et à l'étage. Les planchers ne sont pas très propres. Les appareils électroménagers et hotte de poêle sont mal entretenus et graisseux, grille-pain non lavé et grains de rôties sur le dessus. C'est dommage. Ce qui est aussi désolant, aucun produit de toilette à disposition pour dépanner (shampoing, savons pour le corps).
Loved the house. Much nicer than pictures revealed. Furnishing in pictures looked sparse. Much nicer more furnishing than revealed in pictures. Very secluded and quiet setting.

Assez grand pour 14
Grand pour 14! Par contre dans la cuisine il manquait des chaudrons, poêlons, tôles et articles pour cuisiner pour 14. De plus la salle de jeux qui faisait tellement envie aux ados n’était pas comme l’annonce. Table de Mississippi sans articles pour y jouer. Table de ping pong sur chaises et table de pool avec tapis brisé, très décevant pour les jeunes. Des serviettes pour tous et des draps propres dans les nombreux lits. Des personnes sont venues déneiger, très apprécié!
Lovely spot with lots to do in winter time. A few small things such a broken chair and air hockey pusher, but minor and lots of chairs and other things to do . Owner was very helpful if needed as well .

Chalet correct
La propreté des lieux, surtout les toilettes, était ordinaire.
Il y avait une trentaine de mouches noires, voir plus, à notre arrivée et le nombre n'a pas beaucoup diminué durant le séjour.
Le chalet est endommagé à plusieurs endroits. Je me serait attendue à un peu plus de «luxe» au prix que le chalet est loué.
Séjour malgré tout agréable, mais la qualité était un peu décevante.
