What they said …
« The Yahra mini-house is magnificent, peaceful, and everything is well thought out, arranged, and decorated. With the snow in the surrounding forest, it was magical. Peace and quiet were truly present. The trails and various amenities invite you to take your time, pause, recharge, and appreciate what surrounds you. And for those who need to move more, there are plenty of activities nearby! The story and musical gift from Benoit are a lovely bonus. The explanations about the choices the owners made regarding water and wood use are interesting and encourage personal reflection on our own consumption.
I recommend Hébergement aux Cinq Sens to everyone! And as for me, see you next time! »

« Michaël and I loved our (too short) stay at Hébergement aux Cinq Sens. We hope to return in other seasons to enjoy the place differently and stay for a longer visit. The evening under the stars and the time in the tipi were beautiful, enriching, and magical moments of sharing! We would be delighted to relive other moments of exchange and learning with Paule and Benoit.
Thank you for keeping alive a place as inspiring as it is rejuvenating. »

« I wanted you to know that I loved my stay at the deer mini-chalet. I found exactly what I was looking for: a rejuvenating stay in nature, with a certain level of comfort. The site is admirably well laid out, in addition to being in the dark sky reserve. I was very spoiled during my stay; the clear sky allowed me to observe the beauty of the celestial vault and multiple shooting stars! What struck me most about my stay was your warm welcome, the sharing of your knowledge through the activities offered (the sky narrated by Benoit, Indigenous tales), but also through our exchanges. ».
I really hope I get the chance to come visit you again soon. Thank you for everything! »
