fully automated self check in, however we are always available over the phone or message.
The cabin feels remote and peaceful, though is only a 15-minute drive from Mont-Tremblant, and near many other nature parks and trails. in the summer, enjoy the water by taking a 10 minute hike down to Lac Long, or a 5-minute drive to Riviere Rouge, where you can rent kayaks and canoes and paddle down the river, stopping at small beaches along the way.
A private carport for one car and a driveway for an additional car. Carport has a Tesla level 2 charger.
we intentionally chose not to put curtains or blinds in any of the rooms, to truly submerse oneself in the landscape. however, from the outside of the house, you can play with the large wooden shutters to adjust the lighting and privacy to your liking. the house can be closed completely.
