Unusual places to stay in Quebec: cabins, domes, yurts and tiny houses

Our suggestions

Sleeping in a treehouse, a transparent dome under the stars, a wood-stove-heated yurt or a tiny house by a river: unusual accommodation has become Quebecers’ favourite way to get away for two nights without going far. This guide gathers Quebec’s cabins, tiny houses and out-of-the-ordinary places to stay, with each one’s listing, amenities and prices.

Knowing what you are getting into

Unusual sometimes means no running water, with a dry toilet and showers at the service building: the listing says so. Check winter heating, the walking distance from the parking lot and what to bring (sheets, towels, food). A dome or cabin without electricity is best enjoyed with a headlamp and a good sleeping bag.

Booking

The most photographed places are fully booked months ahead for weekends; weeknights and shoulder seasons (May, October) offer the same scenery at half price, without July’s mosquitoes.
