Spot Caché - Private Waterfront Cottage

The location was great, it is truly a hidden spot along the river. It is located next to a National Park (SEPAQ) so we saw lots of wildlife. Our kids really liked it.

We couldn’t really swim on the beach. The owner explained that it’s due to the water levels being lower in August and seaweed blooms around this time of year apparently… all that to say, nice boating beach for paddle boarding and canoeing though but no swimming off the dock.

Every room was well thought out and stocked everything that we needed. The kitchen has ample cupboard space to store a few things and has all the utensils and items needed to feed everyone.

Nothing comes to mind.

The chalet was very well designed and thoughtfully furnished, Everything was very clean and very comfortable - the beds, sofa and swivel chairs in the living room. Loved the Adirondack chairs on the water front.

There was nothing missing. Everything we needed was there.

The property was absolutely stunning, with thoughtfully curated touches in each room that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. From welcome snacks on the dinner table to chocolates on the bed and the mirrors in every bedroom, every detail was carefully planned. Amenities like spare toothbrushes and toothpaste added to the thoughtful touches that made the stay memorable. The basement, with its entertainment unit and games setup, offers plenty of fun! This place would be a perfect getaway when it's not snowing.

We visited the property in January during the worst weather weekend with temperatures dropping to -35°C. The walk to the cottage, which is described as a short 0.5 km nature walk, is quite misleading. With no paved walkway from the parking area to the cottage, traveling there—despite using snowshoes—proved to be a challenging hike through sinking snow up to 4 feet deep and blowing wind. Pulling luggage and food on sleds added to the difficulty. This journey is definitely not suited for the faint of heart. We also recognized that in case of a medical emergency, timely access would be impossible.
