River/ Wooden hottub Luxurious Shack in the forest
Near the Saguenay, Exode en Nature includes 2 tiny houses back to back: La Mélilot and La Baumier. Facing a majestic river, you will be surrounded by lush vegetation! Come relax and take advantage of all the amenities offered by La Mélilot with its private wood-heated Nordic bath, for an exceptional experience! Around the accommodations: Snowshoeing, snowmobiling, ice fishing, dog sledding and more!
By reserving The Mélilot, you will have access to the whole house. In the house, there is a connecting door to The Baumier, another tiny house giving you the opportunity to book both accommodations in order to be able to sleep up to 12 people. The two houses are back to back. You will have your view, your corner of the river, your private spa and your private outdoor patio.
Dogs are accepted on a leash. (Less than 50 lbs) You must provide a cage and the bowls necessary for their well-being. You cannot leave your dog alone in the tiny house while you are away.
You will have to walk 600 feet from the parking lot to your home. 2 free parking spaces are offered with the rental of your accommodation.
The wood-heated spa is open during the winter season for an exceptional experience! However, we do not guarantee you an optimal temperature during very cold weather and so you may not be able to enjoy it if the temperature is not mild. Please count around 5 to 6 hours of heating the first day. Thereafter, the temperature will be reached more quickly the rest of your stay!
Arrival time at your accommodation is between 4:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Tiny house The Mélilot:
The Mélilot includes a beautiful large bedroom on a mezzanine accessible by a staircase. The mezzanine ends with a catamaran net where you can rest with a good book watching the river. There is also the possibility of sleeping on the net or next to it by adding a second memory foam queen mattress. Perfect for a couple of lovers or a small family since there are 2 open concept queen beds, there is the possibility of sleeping up to 6 guests since there is a sofa bed but the tiny house is not suitable for 4 adults.
This luxurious shack has a well-equipped kitchen including 2 propane burners as well as a small refrigerator including a freezer. You will have access to all the utensils, cutlery, plates, fondue kit, kitchen bowls to concoct a meal of choice. A barbecue is also available for your grills.

The owners wanted to offer you luxury in the forest while being ecological! Solar panels will provide you with your daily energy! There are fans in the Mélilot but no air conditioning. On the other hand, since it is located near a river in a valley surrounded by trees, a mild temperature is present all year round.

Un séjour charmant
Ce fut un séjour romantique et paisible! Nos hôtes étaient fantastiques en nous aidant à faire fonctionner le spa et en nous offrant des oeufs frais. Nous avons été charmés par ce petit chalet intime, le bruit du ruisseau et le poulailler. Nous recommandons fortement!

Winter wonderland
I was greeted by Patrick at the entrance, and right off the bat I felt so welcome! We grabbed a sled for the bags because there was mountains of snow, and he showed me down to the cabin. The path was beautiful, all covered in snow, pine trees everywhere, it was like we were on our way to Santa's workshop. The cabin was incredibly warm and cozy, lots of good vibes with heaters and the fireplace. I really love the net/hammock in the second floor, it was my nap space every day. Soaking in the hot tub with all the snow coming down was a very special and relaxing, especially with the stream rushing by right there. I enjoyed the location, not hard to find, but far enough away from any populated areas, so you get the feeling of being away from it all. There is a nice bakery about a 15 minute drive, and some grocery stores to stock up cause you won't want to leave once you get there. Patrick and Vicky are very responsive and incredibly friendly. I even got a snow mobile ride back up the hill on my last day, and they gave me fresh eggs from the chickens on property. I would summarize the experience as cozy, rustic, and peaceful. Thank you guys for the memorable stay, it was the highlight of my travels across Qubeck!

Quiet & Serene
Amazing experience tucked away from everything. Patrick and Vicky were more than willing to help with everything we needed during our stay. Super cute and a great place to unplug for a couple days!

Lieu magique et fantastique
A fantastic, peaceful place to reconnect - a small stream flowing out the main window, the quiet of winter, wood crackling in the stove, natural beauty all around - Mont Valin’s snowshoe just down the road…. Vicky et Patrick sont un couple genereux, compatissant, avec une joie de vivre contagieuse, on se sent chanceux de les connaitre! À la prochaine on espère!

Relaxation en nature
Chalet très paisible sur le bord d’une rivière. Le spa nordique et le bruit de la rivière est très relaxant et nous à permis de décroché complètement.
