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!
Sabrina and David
After a long, hot, sticky Montreal summer it was so good to breathe clean, fresh air again, without having to spend countless hours on the road.I have to say, Sabrina seems to have been born for the role of hostess. From the moment we arrived we felt warmly welcomed. Every detail was guest-centered, right down to the jar of flowers her little boy had picked and placed on the dining room table, and the bucket full of logs beside the fireplace.The cabin Sous-Bois (Woodland) we stayed in could easily accommodate six people, but was also cosy enough for the two of us. It was really well equipped without feeling cluttered. Imagine waking up and having your morning coffee on the back stoop, watching the sun rise over a calm, pristine lake, as smooth as glass…– Jennifer
