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.

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 ;-)

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?

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).
