Who said that minimalism and comfort didn’t go together? Repère Boréal proves the opposite with its micro-chalets and mini-houses that would make some luxury lodges jealous! Located in the heart of Charlevoix, this is the winter refuge you dreamed of to pause on your grueling daily life. Put your phone in airplane mode to fully enjoy the abundance of this enchanting woodland and Scandinavian charm of the magnificent facilities of Repère Boréal.

MAIKAN, a real cocooning paradise

For our stay, we experienced the MAIKAN, a real little paradise! Accommodating 3 people or less, but ideally for adventurous couples, this cozy nest includes a space for eating and cooking including all kitchen items as well as a soft bed for a relaxing night’s sleep.

The pièce de résistance is definitely the panoramic window that will allow you to have a unique view of the sky before falling asleep peacefully under the stars after a comforting good fire. The pleasure continues the next morning with a gentle awakening in the heart of nature. Even the late risers will appreciate this most soothing alarm clock! Whether it’s snowing, raining or sunshine, any temperature is pleasant in this little woodcabin. If you have the chance to go there on the Perseides next year, it’s definitely a dream spot to watch a shower of shooting stars.
