River, Hot tub & Sauna - Luxurious Shack in Forest

La Mélilot offers a complete and private thermal experience, featuring a wood-fired hot tub, a sauna, and direct access to the Pelletier River.
A nature retreat in the heart of the Saguenay where comfort, privacy, and well-being meet.
The perfect place to slow down, breathe, and unwind — in every season.

A little corner of paradise, ideal for disconnecting. Just minutes from the Monts-Valin, Tadoussac, and the natural wonders of the Saguenay!

A cozy forest retreat to disconnect and recharge.
Tucked away in the wild beauty of the Saguenay forest, La Mélilot is a charming, eco-friendly tiny house — perfect for a romantic couple’s escape or a small family getaway.

The bright mezzanine features two queen beds and opens onto a large catamaran-style net, ideal for lounging, reading, or simply soaking in the view of the river below. A sofa bed also allows for up to 6 guests, though the space is best suited for a family or 2–3 adults.

In the kitchen, everything is set up for simple, enjoyable cooking:
Two propane burners
A compact fridge with freezer
Full set of dishes, utensils, bowls, and a fondue kit
And a propane BBQ available year-round for your outdoor meals

Start your morning with a comforting Keurig coffee (1 capsule per adult per day included).

The full bathroom includes a shower and a premium composting toilet. Bed linens, towels, and washcloths are provided, along with eco-friendly soaps and products by Pure and Oneka— safe for you and gentle on the planet.

This is eco-conscious comfort at its best — forest luxury with a minimal footprint.

Outside, a small cabinet filled with games and books awaits you for memorable family moments. You can also enjoy our complete thermal experience: a private wood-heated Nordic spa, private sauna, and direct access to the river. And when the sun sets, follow the 600 feet of string lights that gently illuminate the path… wonderfully romantic!

There’s no air conditioning, but thanks to the riverside location and surrounding forested valley, the temperature stays naturally comfortable even in summer. Fans are also provided for added comfort.
Please note: the unit is not suitable for young children, babies, or individuals with reduced mobility.

When booking La Mélilot, you will have access to the entire unit. The accommodation is attached to La Baumier in a duplex layout. Rest assured, the unit is well soundproofed, though it is possible to occasionally hear muffled sounds or feel slight vibrations.

You’ll enjoy a beautiful view, private river access, your own hot tub, and a secluded deck — everything you need for a peaceful and intimate stay.

A few important details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable stay at Exode en Nature:

Pets
Dogs under 50 lbs are welcome, as long as they are kept on a leash at all times while on the property. Please bring a crate and their food and water bowls to ensure their comfort. Dogs must not be left alone in the unit when you are away — they must stay with you at all times. Unfortunately, cats are not allowed. Thank you for your understanding.

Access to your unit
You’ll need to walk about 600 feet from the parking area to your accommodation.

General rules
All accommodations are non-smoking.
Each unit includes a maximum of two parking spots.
There is no television, but you’ll have access to Wi-Fi, perfect for staying connected — even for remote work in the forest!

Your private wood-fired spa – a true experience
The Nordic bath is available year-round and heated with wood, right beside the river — a peaceful and authentic way to unwind. The heating process is part of the adventure: you’ll light the fire yourself and enjoy the sounds and smells of nature while the water warms up.

In winter, plan for 5 to 6 hours of heating time on your first day. After that, maintaining the temperature is much quicker. Please note that during very cold weather (below -20°C), you may not be able to reach optimal water temperature despite your efforts. We do not offer a pre-heating service, as the experience is meant to be hands-on and part of the charm.

A full immersion in nature
You are staying in the heart of the forest, which means you may come across insects, small critters, or even wildlife — a completely normal part of the experience and not related to cleanliness, which is a top priority. We kindly ask that you keep doors closed to avoid inviting any little visitors inside.
