4. LeTerrain

64km from Pembroke · 1 site · Lodging
Stargate Cabin at LeTerrain Canada’s Newest Official Dark Sky Preserve The Stargate Cabin is set deep within LeTerrain, a 400-acre private wilderness in western Québec — and proudly Canada’s newest officially designated Dark Sky Preserve. This is a place to experience true ecosystems and true wilderness. Old forests, exposed stone ridges, living wetlands, and uninterrupted habitat surround you in every direction. With over 15 kilometers of private trails, guests are invited — and encouraged — to get outside, explore, wander, and reconnect with the land by foot. When night falls, the land becomes a stage for the sky. With no surrounding light pollution, the stars return in extraordinary detail: the Milky Way overhead, planets bright enough to cast shadows, and a depth of darkness now rare in the modern world. The Stargate Cabin itself is rustic, off-grid, and intentionally simple, yet always warm and cozy, even in winter. This is not a serviced luxury stay — it is a true wilderness cabin. Water is provided in 20-liter jugs, electricity is limited, and the rhythms of the land and sky set the pace. In return, you gain something far more valuable: silence, clarity, and presence. LeTerrain is shared with care, guided by the belief that what we love, we protect. This is a place for those who value wild spaces, dark skies, and meaningful quiet. If you are a true wilderness lover — someone who finds comfort in simplicity, joy in long walks, and wonder in looking up — the Stargate Cabin may feel like coming home.
