A traditional cottage now costs $400,000 or more in most regions of Quebec. A 4-season yurt, ranging from 20 to 28 feet and installed turnkey on your land, offers the complete cottage experience—wood stove, immersion in nature, family weekends year-round—for a fraction of that price, all-inclusive. And it can be rented out when you’re not using it.
The cottage dream, without the mortgage
For the price of a cottage down payment, you own the entire yurt. No 25-year mortgage, reduced taxes, minimal maintenance—and the same wood fire on a Saturday night.
What size for a family?
20 ft (~315 sq. ft.): couple + 2 young children for weekends.
24 ft (~450 sq. ft.): the ultimate family yurt, with a kitchen area and separate beds.
28 ft (~615 sq. ft.): the true cottage, mezzanine possible, guests welcome.
What about the Quebec winter?
Our yurts are made in the Saguenay and designed for our snow loads. With tailored insulation, a ventilated roof dome, and a properly sized wood stove, you’ll be in a t-shirt inside at -30°C. Cross-country skiing starts right at your door.
A cottage that can pay for itself
When you aren’t using it, your yurt can be rented out for $175–$250/night (with tourist accommodation registration). Renting it out for a few weekends a month covers the annual costs—a traditional cottage can’t say the same.
