*Glamping experience: high quality comfort in the middle of the forest!
The space
HELIOS is a cozy, two-story micro-chalet, yet each floor covers more than 20m2 (215p2). The chalet was specially designed so that the living room, located on the 2nd floor, offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding woodlands and mountains as far as the eye can see; from the first glint of sunrise between Ste-Brigitte de Laval and Ile d'Orléans, to the radiant sunset view between Quebec City and the Le Relais ski center. A panoramic 180 degrees that changes with every day. A real immersion in the heart of nature awaits you!
The micro-chalet runs on a 100% solar and propane system that is safe, high-performance, high-tech and environmentally-friendly! The water is drinkable and comes from an artesian well.
HELIOS has a fully equipped kitchen with all the amenities including fridge / freezer (regular size), gas stove / oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, French press and mobile island for 4 people, one bedroom (double bed), a sofa bed in the living room, a private bath with shower, an independent gas fireplace on each floor, air-conditioning on the 2nd floor and a large terrace with a barbecue grill available summer and winter.

We absolutely loved this place perched on top of a mountain overlooking the St Lawrence river. We thoroughly enjoyed the view, firepit and outside balcony, plus the peace and quiet of this special location. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment items and the BBQ grill worked as needed. There was ample heat and AC available depending on the season. Despite the rustic remoteness, all the needed creature comforts were there. We would definitely stay here again!

We spent the first part of our honeymoon here. It is a beautiful property and the area is gorgeous and tranquil. No complaints!

This property was amazing. Everything worked great and was very luxurious given the location. Directions to the property were clear and easy to follow. It snowed during our stay and I was very impressed by the effort to keep the roads plowed and accessible. Could not have asked for a better place to watch the snow fall!

Really cool home with an amazing view and good proximity to town and Quebec City. The home has a good layout and plenty of room for two people, along with a really nice deck and porch. While it’s off the grid, it’s not noticeable- it has pretty much all of the modern conveniences. Private setting with a long gravel road to access, follow the owners directions in the listing (for us GPS didn’t bring us to the exact location).

Super séjour !
Nous avons eu un superbe séjour dans le chalet Hélios. Super bike-in/bike-out. Nous avons eu le meilleur des deux monde, la tranquillité de la montagne Maelstrom et l'adrénaline des sentiers du Moulin pour le vélo de montagne. Sans oublier la vue qui est magnifique ! Nous avons adoré !

Vue magnifique!
Petit coin de paradis à seulement 25 minutes de notre résidence et malgré cela, déconnexion totale! Tout est parfait! Sentiers de raquette autour. Glissade très apprécié par les enfants. Merci pour ce beau séjour!

Very special place that was incredibly cozy and accommodating. Set on a stunning piece of property with complete privacy and beautiful mountains all around yet close to great shops and restaurants. Could not have asked for a better place for my wife and I to spend our anniversary getaway.

Helios is a very special place to stay. Daniel and Marie-France were incredibly helpful. The chalet was cozy and so clean. 360 breath taking views with trails leading right from the property. We biked/ hiked and snowshoed every day we were there. It had snowed quite heavily over night and the driveway/road was plowed by 7am. We would recommend staying at Helios a million times over.

Tout était parfait
C'est un endroit tellement magnifique. La vue est splendide, c'est tranquille. j'y ai fait du télétravail en vidéoconférence et je n'ai eu aucun problème pour y travailler. La réception cellulaire était très bonne aussi. Tout est confortable et j'ai été surpris par la quantité de choses qui étaient à ma disposition. Je n'ai manqué absolument de rien. Je vous le recommande sans aucune hésitation.
