Open living area on the ground floor to facilitate dialogue between the interior and exterior. The Space: Featuring a first bedroom on the mezzanine and two attached pods, each with a bedroom and an independent bathroom. Terrace space set back, fire pit with cooking accessories. Designed for six but can accommodate up to nine people who get along well. Guest Access: What better way to start your vacation than at your own pace? Thanks to our digital locks, you can enjoy an autonomous and secure arrival. The Neighborhood: Located in the beautiful - and still unknown - region of Lanaudière, BESIDE Habitat is a protected territory of 1,254 acres, equivalent to 960 football fields or 1.5 Central Park! Come and explore it freely and enjoy its forest of mature trees. The lakes are only accessible by foot, as a legacy to future generations who will also be able to swim surrounded by tall pines and cliffs, far from any visible construction. N.B. Wandering thoughts are strongly encouraged on this vast territory. On-site: \- Access to two lakes for swimming \- Free use of canoes (with life jackets and paddles) \- Paddleboard \- Fishing on Lake Charlevoix (bring your own rods) \- Hiking (10 km of groomed trails) Nearby: \- Road biking \- Mountain biking (Ski Montcalm, La Tournée des Cantons de Rawdon, Mont Pontbriand or Austin Acres) \- Waterfalls (Cascades Park, Regional Park of Dorwin Falls, Regional Park of Monte-à-Peine-et-des-Dalles in Sainte-Béatrix) \- Ouareau Forest Regional Park (hiking, ropes courses, climbing, biking, canoeing, kayaking) \- Arbraska Rawdon \- La Source Spa \- Terre des Bisons (our neighbors) \- Pick-your-own strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries (Ferme Guy Rivest and Ferme Marc Leblanc) Other must-try: \- Casse-croûte 125 for all-dressed hotdogs \- Les Délices du Palais for ice cream cones dipped in chocolate. Getting Around: BESIDE Habitat is easily accessible by car. A little bonus for electric vehicles: we have charging stations available at each chalet.
