MÉCHANTE CABANE
A Placeto Disappear
At the heart of 1,570 hectares of private forest. The residence at the lake's edge, the fireplace inside, the trails outside. Days here move at the pace you set.
Slow Mornings
No schedule, no rush. Just the creak of the porch, the warmth of a blanket, and a morning that belongs entirely to you.
Bold Afternoons
Dust, adrenaline, and wide-open trails. The wilderness isn't just for watching. It's for tearing through.
Quiet Corners
A bench, a lake, and nothing to say. Some places don't need a reason. They just need you to sit still long enough to feel them.
A Place to Gather
The grill going, glasses clinking, everyone you brought barefoot on the dock. Some evenings aren't meant to end.
The whole estate, and no one else.
One booking takes the whole estate. The residence, the three private lakes, the trails: no other guests, no neighbours, nothing shared. The land empties for your group alone.
1,570 hectares of private forest wrapped around the lake. Trails, water, and silence that shift with the seasons.
Four seasons. One wild domain
The land shifts through four distinct seasons, each with its own rhythm.
Méchante Cabane is a private estate in the Laurentides, Québec, Canada. The property is 1,570 hectares of forest, three private lakes, twenty-six kilometres of trails, and a lakefront residence built for the gathering. The estate is rented to one group at a time. When you are here, no one else is.
Méchante Cabane sits in the Laurentides region of Québec, Canada, at coordinates 46.3276° N, 74.4874° W. The closest town is Mont-Laurier, twenty minutes from the estate. By car, the property is roughly two hours and forty-five minutes north of Montréal. By helicopter from a Montréal heliport, the flight is forty-five to sixty minutes and lands at a designated landing area on the property.
Méchante Cabane is built for the people you want to bring. All of them. The grandfather assembling three generations for a fiftieth anniversary. The wedding week before the wedding day. The family that has not all been together since the photo on the mantelpiece. The founder who wants the team somewhere they will remember. The residence accommodates 20 guests comfortably across five master suites and two bunk rooms in the basement for the children, the cousins, and the close friends.
Méchante Cabane comfortably accommodates 20 guests. Five master suites, each with a private ensuite bathroom, hold ten adults in large beds (one is on the ground floor and does not require stairs). Two bunk rooms in the basement extend the count, one with four double beds and the other with six, so the children, the cousins, and the close friends sleep at ease alongside the family. Seven bathrooms in total.
A stay at Méchante Cabane is the whole estate, yours for the duration. The 1,570 hectares of forest, the three private lakes (the largest, Lake Denis, at 116 hectares), the twenty-six kilometres of trails, and the residence at the lake's edge with a sauna, a wood-burning fireplace, a professional kitchen, and a furnished terrace facing the water. The kayaks, the paddleboards, the dock, the floating platform: ready when you arrive. The trails, the electric bikes, the snowshoes in winter: the same.
The Cabane concierge orchestrates the stay end to end. Whatever the group asks for, the Cabane concierge arranges. On-site and ready when you arrive: the sauna, the kayaks at the dock, the trails, snowshoeing with Benoit, fishing from the dock. Through the Cabane concierge: a chef from Mont-Tremblant cooking at the residence, a masseuse or yoga at the house, ATV and snowmobile rentals through a long-standing equipment partner, a guided morning on the lake, a seaplane scenic flight, husky dog sledding in winter. Partners arrive discreetly, sleep at La Maison du Ranch less than three minutes away, and leave the residence unchanged. All of it is one offer. The estate stays yours.
