MAO, a contemporary forest retreat where modern architecture meets the tranquility of nature.

Nestled in the forests of Lac-Beauport, just 30 minutes from the historic streets of Old Quebec (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), MAO offers the perfect balance of privacy, luxury, and outdoor adventure. Whether you're planning a family holiday, a getaway with friends, or a relaxing wellness retreat, this secluded chalet was designed to create unforgettable memories.

Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests, MAO is thoughtfully arranged across three levels, each designed to maximise comfort while offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

Ground Floor:

The lower level features a spacious bedroom with two double bunk beds, comfortably accommodating up to four guests. Ideal for families with children or groups of friends, this room offers plenty of space without sacrificing comfort.

This level also includes a full bathroom, washing machine, and dryer, making longer stays convenient and allowing guests to travel light.

Main Living Area:

The middle level forms the heart of the home. Surrounded by oversized windows overlooking the trees, the open-concept living space is bright, warm, and inviting in every season.

The fully equipped kitchen includes everything you need to prepare meals during your stay: cookware, dishes, and essential appliances. Basic ingredients such as salt, pepper, olive oil, and other grocery essentials are also provided.

The dining area flows seamlessly into the comfortable living room, where a cosy seating area, Smart TV, and gas fireplace create the perfect setting to unwind after a day outdoors.

Just outside, the living space extends onto a large covered terrace overlooking the surrounding landscape. Equipped with a dining table for six and a barbecue, it is ideal for enjoying breakfast to the sound of birds, long summer dinners, or an evening meal surrounded by nature. Its covered structure allows you to comfortably enjoy outdoor dining in almost any weather while remaining immersed in the peaceful atmosphere of the surroundings.

Private Master Suite:

The third floor is entirely dedicated to the master suite, a peaceful haven nestled among the trees. A comfortable queen-size bed faces a large picture window offering stunning views, allowing you to wake up each morning to a breathtaking panorama. The suite also features a private bathroom for optimal comfort and privacy.

Your Private Nordic Spa:

One of MAO's most unique features is its complete Nordic thermal experience, available exclusively to guests year-round.

Relax in the year-round spa pool, warm up in the authentic traditional wood-fired sauna, and finish with an invigorating plunge into the cold water, which can easily be filled using the outdoor water reserve. Firewood is provided for the sauna, allowing you to enjoy an authentic wood-fired experience in every season.
