I'll be honest with you, after having sold mine 2 months ago in Tremblant and having to live with the commute to and back, the worst thing you want to have to endure when going to your chalet for the weekend is traffic getting there and returning home!
Did it for 4 yrs and got tired of it. Having to cross Mtl is a chore in itself, but now Laval and St-Jérome, sometimes right upto ''Les Portes du Nord''.
During the summer time coming back to Mtl, traffic between St-Sauveur and Mtl? Not relaxing at all, trust me!
Looking into the eastern Townships now, less lakes than the Laurentians so less chalets for sale unfortunately.
Lac Massawipi is a very nice place but expensive. Controlled boating on the lake, not so many outsiders. Not too far from Mtl. Much less Traffic getting to and back. Take the pontoon and leave for supper in North Hatley.....
