Chalet Maikan

The Maïkan chalet, a round-log cabin, is built right on Lac des Castors in Sainte-Christine-d'Auvergne, in Portneuf, 45 minutes from Quebec City. Its name means "wolf of the woods" in the Innu language, and its decor draws inspiration from Indigenous origins. A private outdoor hot tub is installed at the chalet, as at all those in the tourist village it is part of. The village is set in nature, at the water's edge, and outdoor life there changes with the seasons. In summer, you can swim, fish, go out by boat, or head off hiking or fat biking. In winter, the lake and its surroundings lend themselves to skating on the pond, the ice ring, snowshoeing, ice fishing and snowmobiling. The chalet welcomes families just as well as couples seeking a getaway or groups of friends.
