LES REFUGES PERCHÉS MONT-TREMBLANT

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.

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.

If you like nature and like to be calm, this is the place.

C'est bien mais c'est pas capoté. Chers pour les accomodations du site. Faut par exemple charrier notre stock dans un brouette pendant 15 minutes pour se rendre au chalet. Très belle vue rendu là mais encore ben du charriage d'eau du lac au chalet. Les toilettes sèches sentent pas trop la selle.

Superbe lieux, une belle journée à admirer la vue.
