APPALOOSA *** (3 ÉTOILES)

The Appaloosa property includes two log cottages. We are situated in Lanaudière, at the junction of two rivers – a very private site in a clearing in the Ouareau forest.

Appaloosa lies just 1 1/2 hours from Montreal, right in the heart of the country, in an outstanding environment that greets you as soon as you cross the small bridge over the Dufresne River.

Here you’ll find yourself in another world where dreams, adventure and comfort live in harmony with the forest.

Appaloosa, where we also have our own residence, is open year-round and offers two log cabins for rent:

La Maison des Visiteurs, a large cottage with a layout that lends itself to many different types of accommodation: family occasions and vacations, celebrations, business meetings, weekends, etc.

Le Chalet de la Rivière, a family-style cottage in a glade beside the Dufresne River.
