Description
After more than fifteen years of imagining our project, it was in 2020, in the midst of a global pandemic, that we said to ourselves: "Go! let's do it! Originally from the Laurentians, our choice fell on the Charlevoix region. The river, the mountains, the wide-open spaces as far as the eye can see...
We decided to settle in one of Quebec's most beautiful villages, Les Éboulements, in 2022, to make our dream of starting our own business a reality. It's a place that's very much like us, a welcoming village with a close-knit community.
We're a young family with 3 children, and we all share a passion for the great outdoors and nature.
Our wish has always been to create a place where people can come together to enjoy the moment, have fun and reconnect with nature. In the spring of 2022, we began construction of our first huts. In just a few months, La Luciole, La Forestine and La Canopée finally rise in the middle of the forest, on our new playground! We've designed our huts to be practical, comfortable and welcoming. Adapted to the needs of families who want to travel without complicating their lives too much.
We welcome visitors 365 days a year, even in winter.
