The cabin and forest was very pretty but unfortunately there was a big lack of communication, even though the staff was nice.

There was a problem with our breakfast and there was no solution offered that day. Similarly we found a dead mouse on a trap in the cabin but they only came to remove it 3 hours after they received our message, which is uncomfortable given that it was 2 meters next to the stove and eating area.
There is no internet or phone reception in the cabins and the reception desk is 8 minutes walking through the forest and up the road, but even if you go to the reception yourself, there is no one there until 3pm.

Most of the issues would have been avoided if they were more transparent about the lack of vegan options (even though we asked twice), the mouse, the lack of means of communication with the staff, and other things we found out too late (like the restaurant not opening the second day we were there). Because we could have better prepared for it beforehand, since there are not many food options around the area itself.
We usually love staying in cabins in nature but we can’t say we would recommend this one unless you adjust your expectations and come well prepared for any eventuality.

Great experience !! Only thing I would say is to have a curtain for the front door and the window above hamock otherwise at 4:30 am the chalet is bright
The breakfast was light and tasty, and the view was beautiful

Arriving at the parking lot (excellent map provided us with directions was e-mailed prior to our holiday), we found wagons for taking our luggage to our cabin which were most appreciated as it is bit of a hike into the forest. The cabin was clean and for the most part well equipped. We were unfamiliar with how to use a French press for our morning coffee and with no instructions we were not particularly impressed. Perhaps a kettle or camp-style coffee perk could be added to the otherwise well-equipped kitchen. (We would also appreciate English instructions/warnings/etc since we do not speak French. We loved the deck and the view over the treetops and felt very comfortable in the small, rustic treehouse.

We were quite impressed by the amount of work put into creating these small cabins on stilts. There was a shower, sink, fridge, an upstairs with a queen sized bed. Pretty well furnished for a wooden cabin in the woods. I just didn't really like the \"toilet\". It's basically a bucket with sawdust that you do your business in. Unfortunately we weren't provided enough lime, which supposedly neutralizes the smell, so the bathroom got kinda stinky. There was also a 10 min hike from our car. Not bad but if you forget something in the car, be prepared for a hike.

The receptionist was very welcoming and gave us a map to get to the tree house. Be prepared to walk a little with your bags as cars do not go into the accommodation area. The Dome was lovely and we looked for to using the balcony to watch the wildlife. Unfortunately we went when the mosquito's were at their peak and although we were provided with various repellents they were very difficult to avoid. The experience though is terrific and we would certainly recommend but do go prepared. The local area really centres around the whale excursions / sightseeing. We did see whales both on the tourist boats and from the beach so another tick in the box

Wonderfully Calm and relaxing

An amazing place to go and forget about the rush of everyday life.
Beautiful location with stunning views from the treehouse (we stayed in a 4season one,number 1 Le Petit Plateau) short drive to breath taking sunsets.
Juliette is an absolute star and a credit to Canopee Lit, gave great advice on where to go/what to see and the personal touches were much appreciated.
Loved the breakfast
The treehouse was so warm even when it was -20 outside.
Only disappointment was we didn't stay longer 2nights wasn't enough!

Sleep under the stars

Staying in the dome felt like a mini adventure. It was lovely to be amongst the trees and watch the stars at night. The breakfast, delivered to the door, was very good. it was also possible to go to the reception area to use the Wi-Fi or cooking facilities there. We were a little surprised at first that the shower and sawdust toilet are in a separate building but soon got used to it. It was a fair distance to walk through the trees to the accommodation so I would take them up on the offer of taking your luggage for you. The paths are uneven and not very wide so it's difficult to carry your own. Also you will need insect repellant as they are quite a nuisance, particularly if you want to sit on the terrace.

Glamping in the tree canopy

We (5 in family with \"children\" aged 26, 24, 21) came to this 3 night visit at Canopee Lit from a succession of 5 star hotels on our tour of Quebec region. Once we understood that Glamping is a step up from camping albeit a step down from 5 star hotel we really enjoyed our stay in the region. OK, it was early Summer, so plenty of mosquito's but appropriate skin protection and room screening kept bites to a minimum.
Waking in the night to utter silence, listening to early morning birdsong, watching shooting stars through the canopy of the treehouse were great memories.
There was a simple but friendly restaurant just down the road overlooking Saguenay Fjord. Breakfast was tasty and great fun to be hoisted above each morning from the forest floor.
An easy drive into Tadoussac. Very much recommend Chez Mathilde. One of the best restaurants in Quebec!! Live jazz duo too. The Chez Mathilde and Canopee Lit staff have a passion for their region and the lifestyle product they have created.
Well done to all and thanks

A lovely woodland setting

Myself, my husband and my 12 year old daughter stayed for 2 nights in a fjord view cabin in August 2013. It was so different from the hotels we had been staying in - it was great to feel so close to the forest. The cabin was clean and had a homely feel. We did not cook our evening meal there as we went off exploring and ate down at the fjord instead. The breakfasts were lovely - sitting on our balcony overlooking the treetops and the view to the fjord. The staff were helpful and had booked a couple of excursions for us in advance - whale watching and black bear watching. All in all a lovely find!

Muddy paths comfy bed, instant coffee?

Interesting experience, but a bit disappointing for the price. Reception gave vague directions to our cabin, saying there is a map in the cabin! No shower at the cabin. No lye in the outhouse, screen door hanging broken. No corkscrew. Maxwell house instant coffee and cold bread with granola at breakfast, but french press on shelf. Only fish soup available for takeout. Loved the restaurant at the end of the road at the pier.

Treehouse Charm, not enough comfort

We arrived at 9h00pm. The front desk manager took our luggage in a golf cart, but did not offer us a ride nor did he drive next to us. The path to our cabin traversed a forest. It was unlit & confusing. We lost our way. We heard the growl of an animal which frightened us.
There was no shower facility in or near our cabin, which was very inconvenient. The reception area, which was a 10 min. walk from our cabin was the only location for a shower! we were told by the front desk manager that the shower at/near our cabin was under construction. A fact that was not mentioned in any of the online literature prior to booking.
Additionally, there was not a single towel to be had in the cabin, which was only big enough for a queen sized bed & two side shelves, and nothing else. On the outdoor adjacent balcony, there was a nice wooden table with two chairs for meals and a cozy kitchen with sink & running water.
Not withstanding all the above hick-ups, the experience of staying at Canopee Lit was novel and exciting. Our tree house like cabin was charming. Gazing through the glass dome above the bed was delightful.

Everthing was excellent. The staff was friendy, totally helpful and attentive. The concept of the treehouse was extremely well executed. The view of the fjord was gorgeous and the location secluded and peacefull.
On top of the amazing staff and location, the breakfast was delivered to the treehouse warm in a picnic basket. I have nothing but great things to say! And they were bilingual!

Expérience originale de loger dans une cabane dans les bois en plein hiver. Elle était bien chauffée et confortable. Bien pour une nuit à 4, mais un peu étroit pour 4 adultes en hiver, avec impossibilité d'utiliser la terrasse enneigée. Coin cuisine, mais pas de table pour manger à 4 à l'intérieur. Les petits déjeuners faits maison étaient très bons. Ne pas craindre l'usage des toilettes sèches. Cadre reposant. Fidèle à la description et aux photos du site internet.

Le concept est genial. Le confort est excellent. U excellent travail a ete fait par les propietaires. Le lieu doit etre magique l'hiver sous la neige ou l'ete quand il fait beau. Nous y etions, une nuit, a l'epoque de l'automne et malheureusement nous avons eu de la pluie sans arret de notre arrivee a notre depart. Il faut savoir que sous la pluie, il y a un chemin a parcourir (5-8mn) a travers la foret entre le parking et les cabanes et le sejour en cabane n'y devient pas tres agrebale. Il n'y a rien a faire et one ne peut pas profiter de la foret ce qui est la seul interet du lieu. Je reviendrais mais seulement en cas de beau temps.

Expérience médiocre dopée au marketing !

D’abord quelques détails pour les voyageurs souhaitant louer ce type d'hébergement, indépendamment de toute critique :
l'eau est puisée dans la rivière, donc non courante / potable,
les toilettes sont sèches,
le gel douche et liquide vaisselle à utiliser sont uniquement ceux fournis, car biodégradable.

Concernant l'expérience en tant que telle :
Nous étions à 2 en couple et avions réservée la cabane \"l'Eau Frette\" (donnée pour 4 personnes sur le site). N'ayant plus que cette cabane à disposition, nous avons payé le prix fort pour 4 personnes afin de réserver (240€).
Première surprise, la taille de la cabane : c'est très exigu, on a vraiment du mal à imaginer comment 4 personnes peuvent tenir dedans sans se marcher dessus. L'ensemble n'est que très peu chaleureux.
La conception de la cabane et son aménagement sont à revoir, et parfois même dangereux :
Clous dépassant de certaines boiseries,
Prise électriques non accessibles / décrochées du mur,
Choix de bois fragiles, mauvaise fixation des barrières sur la mezzanine,
Portes battantes de la salle de bain inutilisables,
Moisissures sous une bes banquettes,
Aménagement : on arrive les pieds mouillés sur le paillasson de l'entrée en sortant de la salle de bain, porte-manteaux disposés de telle façon, que les veste tombent dans la poubelle, etc.
L'accueil à la française est peu chaleureux et avenant, loin de l'esprit québécois, .
Une expérience décevante, considérant le prix et le battage médiatique fait derrière.

Unforgettable experience for nature lovers

We had a wonderful stay in Canopée Lit. A great experience, sleeping in between the trees and looking to the stars through a glass window in the roof. Amazing and very beautiful. Unfortunately, there was no warm water and the roof leaked on the bed, but I am assured by the super friendly staff this will be repaired next year (we were the last guests in the season). No electricity, WiFi or other network in the hut. And breakfast was super romantic on the balcony.

Ein \"Baumhaus-Abenteuer\"!

In diesem Baumhaus fühlten wir uns nicht so richtig wohl. Mein Partner benötigt ein Schlafapparat und dafür auch Strom. Leider war dies nicht in der Homepage eingetragen. Wir buchten 2 Nächte aber blieben deshalb nur eine Nacht. Wir bekamen aber das Geld für die 2. Nacht nicht zurück. Die Sauberkeit im \"Schlafzimmer\" lässt zu wünschen übrig. In der durchsichtigen Decke hatte es am Rand viele tote Insekten. Originell und gut war das Frühstück, das mit einem Korb hinaufgeseilt wurde. Dieses \"Hotel\" ist eigentlich für Rucksacktouristen gedacht und nicht für solche wie uns, die Koffern bei sich hatten. Wir marschierten ca. 10 Minuten durch den Wald bis zu unserem \"Baum-Zimmer\". Die Preisleistung stimmt für uns nicht. Trotzdem war es ein kleines Abenteuer, das wir nicht vergessen werden.

Emplacement original et sympathique.

On ne peut pas tout camoufler derrière une volonté écologique... Si on nous explique que le confort est restreint parce-que l'on est dans l'esprit débrouille, j'adhère à 100% et je dis Bravo! Mais la douche dans un demi tonneau en bois, ce n'est pas sain, pas d'eau chaude au lavabo de la salle d'eau, c'est idiot, et les toilettes sèches, j'ai toujours trouver ça ridicule parce que le jour où 7 Milliards d'individus enterreront leurs besoins quotidien, on tombera tous sur un sac au 1er coup de pioche! Ceci étant, l'endroit est super plaisant, la terrasse super agréable mais pas couverte(???) C'est peut-être la aussi un concept BIO!...
