The person who build these small Charlet borrow a lot of ideals from RV make it every eco-friendly, e.g. gravity toilet, I actually thinking about replacing my toilet with the gravity toilet, you have full control how much water to use, second one is the baby water tank supporting the show, it really made me think the huge 60 gallon tank is too much. 5 minutes shower is actually what we need in most of time. The the material used to build the chalet looks sturdy with granite floor and wood ceiling and walls. The website instructions really underrepresented the property. The owner should have represented it much better. Much better than a lot of 2 star hotels. Highly recommended for everyone. BTW, a brand new Chef BBQ and possibly to have fire make mashmellows. I played soccer with my son on the huge backyard. Great view right in the second level of bunk bed was a surprise!

Séjour fantastique ! Un emplacement au top. Super belle vue, très calme (par ici sur la 132, les camions ne circulent pas). Chambre très bien équipée avec frigo, micro-ondes, table, cafetière, TV. Certaines chambres ont une kitchenette. Lit confortable. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Tout proche du parc Forillon. Un petit snack à côté du phare qui dépanne bien. Les propriétaires sont adorables et très accueillants. J'y ai passé 2 nuits et je regrettais de devoir quitter. Une de mes meilleures adresses de mon road trip gaspésien. Je recommande ++

The best thing about this motel is the fabulous view of Forillon National Park and the cliffs facing the Gulf of St. Lawrence. We stayed in the older part, which had wonderful view from our window and door. The older part has small rooms, but they have been updated and are comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. This is a great base for exploring Forillon. A special note: nearest restaurant is 9 km. Nearest supermarket is 20 km. Not all rooms have kitchens, so plan ahead.

La vue de la chambre sur la mer était fantastique. Il serait bon de dire dans la description des chambres que toutes ont vue sur la mer. Dommage en revanche d'avoir du parlementer pour obtenir une couverture supplémentaire. La réponse du propriétaire : si vous avez froid, vous n'avez qu'a mettre le chauffage (en plein mois d'aout) était bien peu éco-responsable. Pas de réel petit-déjeuner sur place. Juste une boite petit déjeuner que l'on peu commander la veille.

It was my first trip to tour around Gaspesie and I booked this place since it is located literally next to the Cap Des Rosiers lighthouse. It was arguably the best place I have ever stayed. The view of the Gulf of St Lawrence and the sound of waves hitting the ricks made this a memorable place to say. I also wanted to thank and appreciate the owner/ operator, a lovely day who made my stay a sweet experience. It was a highlight of my long road trip. I will definitely stay at this place when I tour Gaspesie again. Thank you! 😍

A great little motel right across the street from a beach and lighthouse. If you love a good sun rise you can leave the curtains open and see it from the comfy bed. And on a clear night there are tons of stars. On your last day we saw a few seals playing around very close to the beach. This motel is close to all the hiking trails of Forillion park.
