1h from Montreal, gather your loved ones in cottages designed for slowing down and creating summer memories.

Cottages for groups

Getting everyone together is already a small victory

Finding the dates, coordinating schedules, choosing a place that works for everyone: a group getaway often begins long before you arrive at the cottage.

BESIDE Habitat Lanaudière makes that part easier, with spacious, comfortable and thoughtfully designed cottages where you can cook together, let the kids play outside, take the time to talk, walk in the forest and get back to something that often gets lost in daily life: real time shared.

Cottages for groups

Some stays need more space: for long meals, kids moving in and out, quiet morning coffees in smaller groups, time spent together and moments that feel a little more private. Our larger cottages offer different ways to experience nature as a group, on the ground or among the trees, without compromising comfort or everyone’s sense of space.

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, visit 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.
