What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Much more than an updated farmhouse, it’s essentially a small village, its 145 rooms spread between five farm-inspired modern buildings.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in Baie-Saint-Paul, the grounds connect directly to walking paths along the Saint Lawrence riverbanks and nearby Flavour Trail purveyors.
The rooms
Accommodations span five distinct pavilions, ranging from loft-style bunks in the former rail building to serene rooms framing monastic courtyards.
Spa, pool, and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor pool sits beside the fields, and the spa hosts massage treatments alongside a 24-hour gym.
The Nordic baths
Wooden boardwalks connect hot pools and cold plunge baths looking out across the estate's open pastures.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Bercail
A glowing fireplace warms the ground-floor lounge, where guests share artisan pizzas and local cheeses on the covered terrace.
At the table
Les Labours cooks Charlevoix terroir dishes in an open kitchen, drawing fresh ingredients straight from the on-site market gardens.
How it began
Built on the grounds of Canada's largest wooden farm, which burned down in 1997, the estate was reimagined as a modernist agrarian hamlet.
