The Property — Chaumière Fleur Soleil
Chaumière Fleur Soleil is a cosy three-star in Val-David, with a country-casual feel. The lobby smells faintly of pine and good coffee, and the owners usually greet you by name. It suits walkers, skiers, or anyone who wants a quiet base between the Laurentian trails and the village shops. There’s no pool or gym, but there’s a small spa, a firepit, and a breakfast that uses local maple syrup.
Chronicles of Val-David
Val-David began as a logging village in the 1860s, its first sawmill built on the Rivière du Diable. By the 1930s artists and writers had discovered the scenery, and the town became a summer refuge for Montreal’s cultural set. The streets are lined with century-old stone houses, now galleries and craft workshops. Today Val-David is known for its sunny, walkable village centre, stained-glass studios, and the Parc linéaire ski-snowmobile trail that runs through town.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chaumière Fleur Soleil, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second floor facing the back garden or forest. The hotel is a two-storey walk-up (no lift given the 3-star rating and rural setting), so first-floor rooms avoid stair noise from guests coming and going. The address on Montée du 2e Rang is a quiet secondary road, but rooms at the rear face the wooded lot and get morning sun with less chance of car headlights.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms directly above or beside the reception/lounge area — if there's a bar or breakfast room, that'll be the main gathering spot. Also skip any room at the front ground level facing Montée du 2e Rang; the road is quiet but early arrivals and departing cars can filter in from the small car park.
Best views
Ask for a room with a view of the forest to the north or east. The address sits at the edge of Val-David's wooded zone, so the back side looks into treeline — likely sugar maples and birch, given the Laurentian setting. No mountain views here, but decent greenery.
Quietest floors
Second floor, rear-facing rooms are quietest. The top floor (likely just the second) avoids foot traffic from above, and the back orientation blocks the modest road noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Montée du 2e Rang is a local road with occasional logging trucks and weekend traffic from the many hiking trails nearby. Morning noise from breakfast setup (around 7-8am) if your room is near the dining area. No major nightlife or bar noise given the area.
Insider tips
1. Park at the back of the lot if possible — spaces near the front get headlights sweeping across ground-floor rooms at night. 2. Request a second-floor room during booking; there's no lift, so you'll carry bags up, but it's worth the quiet — especially on weekends when families with kids are checking in.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
