Room 1 : Peruvian economy room
Our most economical room will allow you to spend excellent moments near Lac-à-la-Tortue! A glazed bedroom with a Queen bed overlooking the water of the lake will charm you. With the bedroom decor coming straight from Peru decor, you will feel like you are on a trip.
The room is located on the ground floor, which allows everyone to access it regardless of age or physical mobility!
The rental of the room also comes with a private bathroom which is however separated from the room as such. This bathroom is therefore in the common area of the gîte, but only you will have access to it.
This room remains an economy room. It has less privacy than the others due to its proximity to common areas. No private terrace.
Capacity: 2
Bedrooms: 1
Bathrooms: 1
beds: 1
$70 to $95 for 2 people depending on the season

A leather lounge chair in front of the view to better rest or enjoy the autumn leaves. SmartTV. Air conditioner. Mini fridge, tea and coffee. Large private terrace with outdoor fireplace and view of the water (16 x 18 feet)
Possibility of additional cot.
NB: 82 inch (7 foot) roof, so a bit lower than average: if you’re an NHL player, you’ll probably like our cathedral room better! Room upstairs, if you have mobility limitations, we recommend a room on the ground floor.

$ 139 to $ 180 / night for 2, depending on the season

It is a family room where you can comfortably fit 4 people (5 if with kids or teenagers). Room with a lake view and private covered terrace.

Room 5: Luxury room with whirlpool bath and hamac and hanging king bed
Unusual experiential room: to access this luxury room, take the staircase in the tree, and discover this panoramic room with its large bay windows on the lake and the autumn leaves. Rock in the hammock or in the hanging King bed and watch a movie on Netflix (smart screen).
Take a whirlpool bath enjoying the view or a drink in hand, chatting with your boyfriend in the hammock or in the Adirondack chair! Mini-fridge, air conditioning, tea and coffee, jacuzzi. Private wooden bathroom.
Very comfortable in winter with its heated ceramic floor. The Suspended King Bed is a sleeping experience, like waterbeds: You float! You can lower it to the floor if you want to, but it doesn’t make you nauseous! There is a bench to put your suitcases, or to serve as a sofa in the bedroom. It can also be used as an extra bed for a small person (child or young girl or young thin boy)
NB: The room has a sloping roof, so in the bathroom it’s a bit lower than average, and near the view it’s quite a bit higher than average. The staircase is not wide, so again, if you have small mobility problems, perhaps you should not choose this room.
Huge terrace with outdoor fireplace, low space and summer kitchen (available only after the thaw).
Capacity: 2 people
$ 169 to $ 250 \ night for 2, depending on the season.
Additional traveler: $ 10 CAD
Room 6 : Glamping room
Unusual room.
Come and try our Glamping room.
Glamping = Camping + GLAMOR
It is, in fact, luxury camping. Increasingly popular in sites with beautiful landscapes in Europe, this concept will allow you to stay warm in winter, while being surrounded by a fantastic landscape. The room is glazed on 3 sides: it looks like a solarium, with an unusual decoration of overturned Thai parasols and Indian lights.
Magnificent wooden terrace with a fireplace, two lounge chairs for sunbathing, and a jacuzzi next door. The jacuzzi is private for you.
The room is heated and insulated, with electricity, wifi access, a Bluetooth speaker, a mini-fridge, and an extremely comfortable sofa bed.
NB: A private bathroom is available 40 meters away, accessible from the outside in the main house. You have to exit the glamping room and go down some stairs to access it. If you have never been camping but would like to try, this is a good compromise for you. If you hate camping, or have mobility problems or need to go to the bathroom all the time, we have normal rooms available, this concept is probably not for you.
Price per night in double occupancy: $ 150 to 180$ including access to the jacuzzi
(direct reservations only)
