The Singing Salmon of Bonaventure - A wild escape

Ready for an out-of-the-ordinary experience? Welcome to the Singing Salmon, where wilderness meets modern, self-contained comfort. This 4-season cottage, perched on the banks of the majestic Bonaventure River - famous for its almost operatic salmon - invites you to experience an unforgettable adventure. Whether you're an avid angler or simply looking for some peace and quiet, you'll find what you're looking for here!

The Singing Salmon of Bonaventure is much more than just a cottage: it's a return to simplicity, but with all the comforts you need for a memorable stay. Built for small groups, this retreat is perfect for disconnecting (literally, no cell phone network and no TV screen here!), while enjoying the gentle sounds of the river, as harmonious as a serenading salmon.

*** 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫? ***
The Bonaventure River is world-renowned for its crystal-clear waters and majestic salmon. Whether you're here to hit the jackpot or simply admire these aquatic stars, you're in for a treat. After a day of trying to catch one of these finned singers, come inside to warm up by the wood-burning stove and enjoy the peace and quiet. In fact, one has already been captured for you and sits proudly on a wall - ready to sing you a song ;-)

*** 𝐀 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭 ***
Here, you're totally off the grid - but don't worry, you'll never be far from comfort. Singing Salmon runs on solar power, a generator, and propane appliances. You'll also have powerful Wi-Fi to stay connected (if you really want to). Add to that a large rooftop terrace to admire the surrounding forest and the stars at night - what more could you ask for?

*** 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦, 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐨𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐧 ***
The Singing Salmon accommodates up to 11 guests in its three bedrooms, two of which are upstairs accessible via a ladder-staircase inside (for the more adventurous!) or a standard staircase outside. Ideal for resourceful groups, this chalet also offers a large dining table, a fully equipped kitchen and two full bathrooms. And don't forget the washer-dryer, for those who prefer to stay longer.

*** 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 ***
What would a stay in the great outdoors be without a good campfire? Gather around the outdoor fireplace, toast some marshmallows or, why not, the salmon caught during the day. Without a cell phone network to distract you, you'll be able to fully savor these moments of sharing under a starry sky (and maybe hear a salmon singing in the distance... LOL).

*** 𝐀 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 ***
Located at the mouth of the Bonaventure and Duval rivers, this cottage is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Whether you want to kayak, hike or simply enjoy the view, this place won't disappoint.

*** 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 ***
The Singing Salmon is a haven for adventurers and free souls who aren't afraid to fend for themselves. But don't panic, we'll provide you with a detailed guide and videos to easily master this self-sufficient cottage. And with a name like Singing Salmon, expect an out-of-the-ordinary experience, halfway between an outdoor symphony and a moment of pure serenity.
