Mini cottage # 1 by the river banks

This newly-built mini-cottage is located on the banks of the Jacques-Cartier River. With a capacity of 6 travelers, you'll be comfortable here. The calm surroundings are ideal for sharing, gathering and unforgettable moments. Every visitor will have the feeling that time has stopped right there, for the duration of their stay.

Just 30 minutes from the city, and just minutes from many resort attractions, you can easily discover the city and enjoy the great outdoors, all in the same day! Whether it's a visit to Village Vacances Valcartier, a rafting trip or a stroll through Old Quebec, your days will be filled!

There's everything you need for a comfortable stay on a site surrounded by nature:

- 🛏️ Sleeping accommodation: sleeps 6; there are 2 queen beds and 2 single beds. Bedding is provided.

- 🍴Kitchenette: to prepare a small meal, you can use a hotplate as well as a microwave. You have access to cooking equipment; utensils, plates, cauldrons, etc. A small refrigerator is also at your disposal.

- 🚰 Running water, toilets and showers: in the sanitary block which is located opposite to the cottage and only a few steps away, you have access to running and drinking water; sinks, toilets and payable shower cabinets. To use the latter, it costs $1 for 3 minutes of use (make sure you have only $1 coins). Please bring your own towels.

We also recommend a flashlight for evening strolls.

✉️ If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us via the booking platform between 9:00 am EDT and 10:00 pm EDT every day. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Accessible by car, you can easily drive to Old Quebec in less than 40 minutes. In addition, you'll be just a few minutes away from the legendary Village Vacances Valcartier, a tourist attraction offering indoor (Bora Parc) and outdoor waterslides in summer, and snow tubing in winter. Also, within a few minutes' drive, you can take advantage of numerous resort experiences, such as a day at Le Castor golf course, a visit to the Hôtel de Glace, a rafting experience, or a day at the magnificent Aroma Spa. The Valcartier military base is also accessible to visitors, via the Le Castor center.

🤝 The mini-cottage is located on the Vallée Jeunesse site; a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people with academic and/or social adjustment difficulties. When you rent a dome, a cottage or a house, you help this organization finance its mission: to give hope to young people in difficulty, confidence in their skills, in their future!
Like a resort, the La Vallée site features several other houses and cottages, gathering places and access to the Jacques-Cartier River.

Perfect place to sleep. Don’t be afraid of the washroom sanitary block. It was very clean and women’s / men’s separated by a wash sink between them each with a door code and lock. Grill section outside was clean. River was walking distance by trail, very accessible.

Surprise!

L’annonce indique 1 salle de bain… il n’y en a pas à l’intérieur du chalet, ni d’eau courante!! C’est au bloc sanitaire qu’on doit aller faire notre toilette et laver la vaisselle. Sinon, le chalet est neuf et propre.
