20 Treehouses for Lakeside Camping in the Laurentians
Our Mont-Tremblant treehouses at the Refuges Perchés eco-resort are 20 unique, completely off-grid treehouses in two distinct sectors on either side of Lac Cordon: Lakeside East (treehouses 1 to 10) and Lakeside West (treehouses 11 to 20). They are all built to blend into their natural environment, with southern orientations to maximize sunlight and plenty of windows so you stay close to the forest even from inside.
Dogs are welcome in the treehouses. We ask you to keep them on a leash on the trails.
All treehouses are insulated, heated with wood, furnished with comfortable beds, and equipped for cooking. They all have a sunny terrace, an outdoor fire pit, and a picnic table. Outhouses are located a short distance from each treehouse.
We’ve tried not to take the adventure out of sleeping in the woods, so expect an amazing hands-on experience. All treehouses are reached on foot only, and all gear and baggage is transported by cart, toboggan, or canoe.
You start your own fire, cook on a camp stove, and manage your own water and waste. In the tradition of back-country refuges, you leave no trace by leaving the treehouse and the surroundings as you found them for the next guests. In a nutshell, you discover the thrill of being off-grid by living simply and leaving a small footprint.
