Auberge du changement d'ère

Coaticook, Québec

Auberge du changement d'ère in Coaticook, Quebec, offers eco-lodge accommodations — including an Ultra-Yurt and the suspended Gouttes d'Air units — on a valley slope in the Eastern Townships, open year-round. Cabins, a large tipi, campfire areas, a pavilion, and walking trails make this a design-led retreat rather than a conventional campground. Accommodations are the point here. The eco-lodges are purpose-built structures rather than standard cabins, and bedding arrangements vary by unit: full bedding, including sheets, duvets, pillows, and bath towels, is provided for the Ultra-Yurt, while Gouttes d'Air stays include the main bedding but require guests to bring their own for children sleeping on the net mezzanine. Restrooms, showers, and WiFi are available, and firewood is provided for the campfire areas. Note there is no reception before 4:00pm, so early arrivals should plan accordingly. The property is built around hospitality and setting rather than programmed activity. A pavilion and large tipi serve gatherings, campfire areas anchor the evenings, and walking trails run the valley slope through forest and mountain terrain. A river and stream run nearby. The host family's presence is central to how the place operates. Coaticook sits in the heart of the Coaticook Valley's attractions, in Quebec's Eastern Townships. The surrounding mountain and river landscape is the primary draw, with the valley's main sites within easy reach. The auberge is open all year, which makes it a genuine four-season option in a region where many properties close for winter. Given the small number of distinctive units, book well ahead for any peak-season or holiday stay.
