Respecting nature and our guest’s privacy

Chalets des Pins: Our History

It was around a magnificent mountain lake, Pine Lake (Lac des Pins), that in the early 1940s, Walter Halbig created and developed his authentic little corner of paradise in the heart of some 300 acres of ancient and lush forest.

Seduced by the beauty of this exceptional site, he began the development of the estate, known today as Chalets des Pins, and built and fitted out his country residence which soon became his main residence, for him and his family.

Over the years, Walter passionately built and developed his magnificent property. Attracted by the landscape, visitors and vacationers discover its well-kept secret.

He then decides to share it with vacationers on a more regular basis. It therefore offers the rental of chalets and houses for short stays.

For more than 30 years, Mr. Halbig’s daughter, Carole and her partner Philippe, have, in this same spirit, continued to pamper the estate. Chalets des Pins combines this tradition of honoring these guests with its unique combination of warm hospitality and a promise of happiness and comfort.

An inventive way of offering comfortable accommodation to its visitors and the opportunity to enjoy this wild and wonderful place where man and nature can coexist in mutual respect.

In the summer of 2024, Carole and Philippe have agreed to entrust us with Chalets des Pins. Our vision is to perpetuate the deep-rooted tradition of Chalets des pins, welcoming vacationers who love nature and life, and who want to connect with it to create memorable moments, alone, with family or friends. We fell in love with the Lanaudière region when we purchased a rental cottage in St-Côme in 2020.

We want you to discover the beautiful region of Lanaudière, an authentic place with its attractions and its unique terroir. Parents of two young children, Arthur 6 years old and Rose 3 years old, we want to implement sustainable development initiatives that will help preserve this corner of paradise that is the Chalets des Pins for future generations.

Two generations have devoted time, energy and passion to developing and preserving this magnificent heritage, and we are honored to be the third.

We look forward to welcoming you!

As Warm as Endearing

We quickly felt at home as the place is full of warmth. We savored happily the magical and peaceful moments sitting near the lake. Time has stopped the moment of a getaway and some shared confidences.

The quality of the infrastructures as well as the access to several leisures (hiking, kayak, pedalo, fishing, etc.) greatly facilitated the practice of our favorite sports. All the elements were gathered to make our weekend unforgettable.

Chalet des Pins is the perfect place to indulge in four-season outdoor activities, or to write, read and relax in nature.
