As summer's hot and humid days reluctantly give way to cooler evenings, the inevitable summer scaries might start creeping in (OK, we know we've still got a month of summer left but it will be crunchy leaf season in no time).
Now, what better way to kick off the end of the summer season than a weekend away with the crew, that special someone, or heck, even yourself if a solo trip is what you're looking for? Luckily, loads of stunning chalets for rent near Montreal will accomplish that summer farewell without breaking the bank.
Whether you are looking for a tranquil lakeside retreat in the Laurentians, a cozy mountain hideaway in the Eastern Townships or a cute shack to escape the hustle and bustle of city life in the middle of nowhere Quebec, there is a little bit of everything out there for everyone.
To keep things as affordable and convenient as possible, we kept the cost per night between $130 to $200 with no properties more than a three hour drive away. With that being said, here are eight chalets for rent across the province that can make saying goodbye to summer just as exhilarating as welcoming it.
