La Maison de l’Échouerie on Chaleur Bay Seaside

Welcome to La Maison de l’Échouerie, your haven of peace in the beautiful Bonaventure region, inspired by the tranquility of the Gaspésie. Our exclusive chalet is an invitation to return to your roots, an experience enveloped by the wilderness and authenticity of this picturesque region. Nestled on a peninsula between the majestic Baie des Chaleurs and the serene Ruisseau Cullen, our chalet reveals a fascinating history.

La Maison de l’Échouerie offers you an experience where each element of our chalet tells a unique story.

As soon as you walk through the door, you are greeted by a warm atmosphere and a breathtaking view of the Baie des Chaleurs, a view that defies words and creates a perfect backdrop for your getaway.

“The original owner is passionate about Quebec’s industrial history. Until recently, he was the general manager of the Paspébiac National Historic Site. The architecture enthusiast drew inspiration from the region’s built heritage to design the house. He was inspired by the collective warehouses once used by fishermen. They were built by the sea in the 1930s. They are very simple.

Inside the house, the clean look is inspired by the German Bauhaus philosophy. Born in Germany, the original owner knows the rules well. He used them to create a functional home with a minimalist and refined design.” *

Our home therefore offers a unique architecture with its many windows overlooking the sea and its cathedral ceiling, creating an open space that blends harmoniously with the surrounding nature. The four bedrooms and three bathrooms evoke modern comfort while honoring the rustic charm of the Gaspé.

The fully equipped kitchen becomes the heart of your shared moments, allowing you to prepare delicious meals with local ingredients. The wood stove adds a touch of authenticity, creating a warm atmosphere to relax after a day of exploring.

The experience does not stop inside. Discover the pleasure of spending memorable evenings around the outdoor fireplace or floating comfortably in the SPA, listening to the gentle murmurs of the sea and admiring the exceptional sunset, followed by a sky dotted with billions of stars. La Maison de l’Échouerie offers access to two private beaches, one saltwater and the other freshwater, inviting you to fully connect with the surrounding nature.

Our chalet is ideally located to allow you to discover local history, such as that of Pointe de l’Échouerie, and to explore the charms of Bonaventure, while establishing connections with the local culture.

The path of the Échouerie leads to a point that people locally refer to as “Pointe de l’Échouerie”, the precise location of our cottage. The name evokes the local history linked to the dangerous shallows for boats, as well as a haul-out for seals that sometimes bask there :0

We are more than just a place to stay, we are a destination where every moment becomes a part of Your Story.
