Chalet sur Des campeurs

Celebrate the winter as you help yourself to our hot chocolate bar with all the fixings (just bring your milk). Cozy up by the fire stove and unwind.

Here, you can truly embrace the season: cold plunge in the lake, paddle along quiet shores, or just slow down.

Savor the view from the deck, fire up the BBQ, stargaze from the dock, or enjoy the fully equipped kitchen, books, and games for quiet nights in.

Just 40 minutes from Ottawa/Gatineau with easy, flat parking.



Welcome to this charming vertical log cottage, beautifully renovated to blend rustic charm with modern comfort.

The functional kitchen provides all the dishes, pots and pans you'll need to cook up a meal among friends. Tea and coffee is on us!

A dedicated office corner with high-speed internet and a TV with Chromecast ensures you stay connected during your visit.

We hope you’ll unwind in the open living space or catch up on sleep in one of the three bedrooms (two doubles and one king). You can also use the pull-out couch for extra guests.

The property also offers ample outdoor space to enjoy the sun in the summer. Step onto the floating dock for a swim or paddle, and make the most of warm evenings with the BBQ and fire table on the spacious deck. The master den’s private access to the side yard gives you another option for gatherings around the firepit under the stars.

Conveniently located, you’ll find grocery stores, spas, hiking trails, beaches, and local shops—all within a 20-minute drive.

Experience the perfect blend of adventure and tranquility!

Getting here by car is easy

You may park up to two vehicles under the deck and another one on the driveway, but you must leave the laneway clear at all times. You may also park on the road in the cul-de-sac.

Affordable, limited "on demand" public transportation service connects from Gatineau (it's a 25 minute walk from the highway to the cottage). See the Transcollines (.ca) website.

Taxi Loyal serves the area, but having your own car is the best way to arrive.


Important

There are a few steep and short steps inside the cottage between the living room, washroom and dining room.

Please use caution when using the outdoor stairs to the main door, especially when they are wet.

The path to your water access is rugged.
