"This charming cabin offers a fantastic stay similar experience of a SEPAQ EXP cabin. Outside or the cabin, the property is spacious, complete with friendly staff, an outdoor campfire area, and a convenient on-site restaurant that served as the perfect bookend to our daily adventures. Its location right at the gateway to La Mauricie National Park made it ideal for our main objective, cycling the roughly 100 km route through the park. I would definitly book again. It would be even better if basic amenities like body soap, shampoo, coffee, and tea were provided in the cabin."
