To be honest, Nature: awesome, service: awful! Never waste ur money comparing other camp sites of Quebec. We planned to go somewhere in the middle of the nature to chill and rest our mind. We saw the pictures of tree-houses and said let’s try it. First of all we found it odd to forced to book the place for two nights at minimum! Then we find out the reason😂! We arrived at Friday evening and the reception explained everything thing and gave us a package which included battery and a gas capsule for oven or barbecue! They told that the toilet is dry! After 20 minutes of walk we arrived the tree-houses! We needed toilet! What we saw was a dry toilet (as it was mentioned) with a disgusting 🤢 smell! No hygiene gel for hands no toilet paper nothing! So every time we needed a bathroom we walked 20 minutes to reach the reception building😂! I explained the case to the receptionist the day after she told I put lime in the dry toilets!😂😂😂 That is just the start of the story. The battery they gave us worked only 4 hours! And we left with no electricity the whole night and a day after! I told that to the manager and she said probably because your phone was on off-line mode when it was on the charge and then you switch the mode! She didn't know that being in the park we already had no sugnals so there was no need for beeing off-line since we were offline naturally! I did not catch the cause and effect relationship she described by the way😂 The gas capsule was damaged as well so we had hard time doing the barbecue. Most of the trails were closed in the national park so the experience with park was not also pleasent! It was great if we knew that in advance before reservation but no one let us know about that and when we asked from reception about this situation there was just got one answer: it’s non of our business! 😕 It is impossible to sleep on the treehouses beds and do not have backache in the morning. So you if you want to explore the treehouses bring your standards very low as the owner told us and be ready to pay .... for a nightmare which its second night is mandatory upon the decesion of the owner! Which is equal the price of a nice and convenient chalet in the area!

This place is remarkable if you want to get away from it all and relax. It is NOT comparative to a hotel experience, so set your expectations accordingly and you will have a wonderful time. 25 min backroad drive from the main highway near Mont Tremblant you will arrive at Parc Eco /Refuges Perches - a protected wilderness environment. Check in was easy, super nice staff. Quite a few instructions to learn on arrival but they explain very well. You'll walk from the check in center to your treehouse by foot or canoe (optional in summer). The walk can be from 5 - 20mins depending on your treehouse. The trails in the forests are well marked and the walk sets the tone for the back to nature experience. You are provided with pull carts or pull sleds (when snow) to transport your bags and a welcome kit of essentials like a battery power pack, ice, firewood, water and other supplies which are collected from check in) Tip DON'T take too much luggage, you have to pull the carts yourselves which will get your heart beating. We took our own sleeping bags and pillows and some easy to cook food, books and music on our phones. We also had our small dog with us (dogs are allowed on leash) and she was enjoying every minute. The treehouses themselves are located into 2 distinct areas, east and west side of the lake. We stayed in the west side area which was about a 20 min hike in. Our treehouse # 11, was wonderful, tucked away in the woods with neighbouring units nearby but not too close. It had a single open plan main room 2 double bunk beds and 2 bench beds that could sleep 6. We were just 2 this time, if we were 6 adults together sharing that space it would be tight, but a family with kids would be fine. Ours had a rooftop terrace and exterior eating section under the main structure. The treehouses are well made simple wood structures, all freestanding and individually styled. Some even have rope bridges. All very clean. Inside there was a propane stove, large Coleman for food storage, slow burning stove and electric lights that use the supplied power pack, fold up table and chairs.Other basic essentials, cutlery and cleaning supplies were also included. Outside was a small gas BBQ. After getting the slow burning stove fired up, the sun was setting and we started to relax with a glass of wine. There's no wifi at the treehouses (there is at the check in center) so it was nice to be off the grid for once and just enjoy some peace and quiet. As night fell it was very cozy and warm in the treehouse with the slow burning stove and candles - one thing we learned was not to load the stove too much before bed as it can get very very warm. There are lots of hiking, country and snowshoe trails in the park and the main lake was a 7 minute walk away (some treehouses are lakefront). We stayed just after the first snowfall, it was beautiful. I imagine in the summer it would be even more magical with the lake to explore. The whole experience is very back to nature and eco orientated and they really practice a leave no trace policy, be prepared to use outhouses for toilets, cook simply and entertain yourselves. Showers, amenities and wifi are available back at the check in center if needed. Overall this was a perfect getaway to relax and reconnect to nature, the extra effort to carry in our stuff and the 'simple camp' feel just added to the experience. I imagine kids would truly enjoy it as it's like an adventure and the parents would probably appreciate the time out from smartphones. A strong recommendation.

We went to one of the refuge during early November, when the temperature was around -2 to -4 degrees. The atmosphere of this place is awesome! It's super quiet, you almost feel like you are alone. The cabin was spacious and well kept. The slow burning wood stove was really cool, and they provide enough wood to be very warm inside. The staff is super friendly and they really make sure that you have everything you need. Most things, like wood, kindling, water, etc., they have 24/7 in case you run into an issue. The lake is beautiful, during winter and in the summer as well. All in all, I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Definitely for those adventurous types, wanting a rustic forest getaway, yet with all the important amenities and details provided, within the much welcome "Leave No Trace", neatly minimalist, nature-first, approach. The phenomenally conceived/constructed treetop cabins, each with its own uniqueness and aesthetic of whimsy are just mind blowing. And in this gorgeous location, within the ECO-Laurentides Park, with its environmental education foundations and infrastructure, pristine wilderness and kms of trails, it's an exemplary gem of how we can conserve pristine ecosystems while still enjoying them.

This place is truly magical! It is like an Airbnb in the woods. These treehouses come fully equipped and the customer service received was next to none! It was phenomenal! Easy check in and check out and they have an honor system so you never have to run out of wood or ice, day or night. All you have to do is grab your wood and ice and record the # of your tree house on a piece of paper. Great hiking trail with a breathtaking view and the water is clean and clear. The lake is non motorized boats. But pets are allowed as long as they remain on a leash at all times. Each treehouse had its own unique look and feel with a porch underneath.

What a beautiful area! A must for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice walk around the lake or climb the side of the hill to have a crazy view!!!

Highly recommend! An adventure to remember. The houses have a unique and dreamy vibe and the setting is just incredible. Love to swim and fish in the lake. Would come back in a heartbeat.

Great outdoor experience. Treehouses were well equipped and clean. The trails are well kept and easy to walk - just remember what you bring has to be pulled in by tobaggan so pack accordingly. The pavilion showers and bathrooms are immaculate.This is a cross country skiers paradise and a great spot to disconnect.
