House Rules

PLEASE,

- If the number of travelers during your stay exceeds the number indicated on your reservation, a fee of $100 per undeclared traveler and per day of stay will be applied. Please keep us informed of any changes in the number of travelers to ensure everyone's comfort.
- Our cleaning crew, a rare commodity these days, does not allow early check-in. Therefore, under any circumstances, no arrival before 3pm can be authorized.
- A late check-out (after 11:00 am) will incur an additional charge of $50 (plus taxes and service charges). If this departure is later than 12:00 (noon), the additional charge will be equal to the average price per night that you paid at the time of booking. The purpose of this rule is to ensure that the cleaning crew has all the time they need to do their job properly.
- To ensure the comfort of all our guests, a $250 charge will be applied if the presence of an unauthorized animal is detected. In addition, the same amount will be charged if smoke odors (cigarette, vape, cannabis, etc.) are detected after your stay.
- Simply to ensure that our cottage meets your expectations, please take the time to read the entire ad and the house manual that we will send you before your arrival.
- We reserve the right to require a security deposit of $500 in special circumstances, such as when we feel your reservation may present a high risk to our property and its rules, for example prohibited parties. If we deem it necessary to request such a deposit at the time of your booking, and you are unwilling to pay it, we will fully understand if you choose to cancel your booking. In this case, a full refund will be given. We would like to stress that such requests are extremely rare and are made for the sole purpose of protecting our property and ensuring a pleasant experience for all our guests.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation :)

Congratulations!

Your payment was successful and the reservation is confirmed!

The space
*** Your stay, your experience ***
The Pilgrim has been designed to offer you a real return to basics, while respecting the environment. Electricity is deliberately limited, but you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay: electric space heater, mini-fridge, espresso machine, and two cooking rings. In summer, enjoy (June to September) an outdoor shower with a view of nature, and in winter (October to May), let yourself be tempted by an old-fashioned experience: cooling off with melted snow on the wood-burning stove after a day in the great outdoors.

*** Facilities at your disposal ***
- Bedroom on 2nd floor with 2 double beds and mattresses covered with hygienic covers (bring your own bedding).
- For cooking: wood-burning stove, cooktop and outdoor fireplace
- Everything for the fire (wood, paper, matches)
- Rechargeable lanterns and candles for a cosy atmosphere (no lighting fixtures)
- Soap, dishcloths, sponges and toilet paper
- Board games, books and first-aid kit
- 3 pre-filled 20-liter cans of drinking water (no running water in the cottage)
- Electric car charging station

*** A true return to nature ***
This retreat offers total immersion in the simplicity of yesteryear, with an outdoor dry toilet and an environment disconnected from the modern world. Although there is no Wi-Fi, a good cellular network is available. However, we encourage you to take full advantage of the disconnect by storing your phone in the cell box 😉

This is the ideal place for outdoor lovers, hikers, and families looking for calm and simplicity. Imagine yourself, breathing in the fresh air after a day in the forest, with no TV, no screens, just you and nature.

*** Nights under the stars ***
Located in the heart of the Mont-Mégantic International Dark Sky Reserve, The Pilgrim promises unforgettable evenings around the fire, under a sky illuminated by thousands of stars.

*** Nearby activities ***
- Parc national du Mont-Mégantic for hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing
- Mont-Mégantic Observatory for stargazing
- Frontalier trails 3 km away for scenic hiking and backcountry skiing
- Cheese dairies, microbreweries and farmers' markets to explore
- Less than 3 km away, access to the mountains: Montagne de Marbre, Mont Saddle and Mont d'Urban. Not to mention Mont Mégantic (Sépaq) and Mont Gosford a little further away.

You're also just 35 minutes from Lac-Mégantic and 50 minutes from Sherbrooke.

The Pilgrim is much more than a simple stay in nature, it's a true adventure where every moment counts. For larger groups, Chalet L'Ermite, just 100 m away, can also accommodate you: https://airbnb.ca/h/refuge-rustique-a-louer-lermite-estrie-flex-immobilier

Immerse yourself in this unique experience, where simplicity becomes luxury.

***** PLEASE NOTE *****
There is no bathroom inside the cottage. There is a dry toilet outside, near the cottage. In addition, there is no indoor shower, however you will have access to an outdoor shower from June to September (no heating element for the water - heated by solar action). You'll need to wash with a washcloth from October to May. There's a mini-fridge, but no cooking stove. So you'll have to use the wood-burning stove, the electric griddle (2 rounds) or the outdoor fireplace for your cooking. There are no lighting fixtures, but rechargeable lanterns and candles are provided. The cottage has only 1 bedroom on the mezzanine, with 2 double beds and mattresses covered with hygienic covers: you'll need to bring your own bedding. All in all, a true old-time rustic experience!
Guest access
The cottage will be entirely exclusive to you, while the outdoor shower and electric car charging station are shared with The Hermit (neighboring cottage 100 meters away).
Additional notes
The house guide as well as instructional messages will be sent to you after booking to simplify the arrival process as much as possible and allow you to properly plan the activities of your stay.
Guest interaction
I remain available to answer your questions by text, email or phone, before, during and after your stay :)
