Cottages for two, one hour from Montreal, in the heart of nature.

Cottage Escape for Two in Nature

When time together is rare, the setting matters even more

Between busy schedules, weekends that go by too quickly and vacations that always seem to get pushed back, real moments together can become few and far between.

BESIDE Habitat Lanaudière was designed for those pauses: the ones where you truly slow down, reconnect without having to plan everything, and turn a few days in nature into a memory you’ll keep talking about long after.

Things to do around the cottage

Ideas to punctuate the day

Eat and drink local
Stop by Marcel café caviste for a bottle to bring back to the cottage, pick up something from Fromagerie Roy or Au Jardin des Noix, or discover local beers from Microbrasserie Albion and L’Alchimiste. To stretch out aperitif hour, add Vignoble Têtes au vent or Distillerie Grand Dérangement to your itinerary.

Explore by bike
Set out on the roads of Lanaudière at your own pace, between forests, country roads, villages and rolling landscapes. A beautiful way to discover the region without overplanning the day.

Cool off
Several swimming spots and refreshing stops are less than 30 minutes from the cottages, including Rawdon’s municipal beach, Forêt Ô Cascades, Parc des Chutes Dorwin and Parc des Cascades.

Slow down
Walk the BESIDE trails, read at La Cache, our reading space by the ponds, visit La Source Bains Nordiques or Abbaye Val-Notre-Dame, or simply spend an afternoon with no plan at all.
