Unwind at Cabin Spahaus – A Luxury Retreat
Planning a getaway to Mont Tremblant in Quebec? Look no further than Cabin Spahaus, a Scandinavian inspired Airbnb. We all crave the need to escape – a chance to unwind and reconnect. For Canadians there’s no better place than a retreat in the woods. But those traditional rustic cabins and cottages of yesterday don’t exactly measure up to our standards today. Instead, we seek out those modern architectural gems made up of glass and wood in a woodland setting.
Escape to Cabin Spahaus, a relaxing retreat in Quebec, where you’ll find exactly that! Let’s take a tour of this perfect cabin rental near Mont Tremblant.
The Exterior
Montréal architects, Marie-Claude Hamelin and Loukas Yiacouvakis of YH2, have designed a series of cabin-inspired homes between the shores of Lac Supérieur and Mont-Tremblant. Using simplicity and minimalism elements, the façade of Cabin Spahaus features exposed concrete, pale wood and a large expanse of glass. To optimize the views, each cabin is positioned a little differently with the aim to keep other properties out of sight.
The European-inspired design elements can be seen in the triangular profile, sloping roof and simplistic construction. The minimalist design compliments the natural surroundings.
Cabin Spahaus is positioned perfectly on the side of a sloping hill where the entrance is hidden from the road and the back of the property is nestled under a canopy of trees.
The Interior
Step inside and the same simplicity and minimalism elements of the exterior façade are carried through to the interior. Polished concrete flooring, pale wood and large windows look onto the wooded lot. Warm neutral shades of gray, cream and white are pulled through every room having such a calming effect.
Cabin Spahaus is reminiscent of chalet-style house in Europe. The open-concept creates a cozy communal feel one might find in a ski lodge.
Kitchen and dining space
The wall to wall windows on the lower level fill the space with natural light. Also, they provide stellar views of the cabin’s wooded lot.
Living space
2-Bedrooms
Cabin Spahaus is a small footprint, yet with the high vaulted ceilings it makes the space feel expansive and roomy.
The layout of the upper level features a bedroom at each end with full bathroom in the middle.
The Spahaus Experience
Cabin Spahaus definitely lives up to its name! An entire wing of the cabin offers your very own spa experience. Sauna, soaker tub, open shower and step outside to the sunken hot tub too. Pocket doors close off this entire space from the rest of the cabin making it a quiet space without any distractions. It’s the perfect spot to relax and de-stress.
Airbnb Amenities
Included in your stay is access to Club de la Pointe, an exclusive resort offering a wide range of sport and leisure activities. Everything from tennis to beach volleyball to swimming and boating in the summer. Or, skating, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. As well, there is clubhouse, restaurant and general store with a SAQ (beer, liquor and wine shop). The resort sits on a peninsula that projects into Lac-Superieur. And, the views are simply magical.
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed. ~Indra Devi

The cabin retreat looks delightful, the dining area especially seems so cosy. I like the fact that it’s a good spot for hiking trails as well, perfect for a work out and then rest & relax !

This cabin offers a lot of options for everyone.
Melissa Butler
This place looks and sounds like such a nice place, I love the private hot tube outside. I also like that you have access to the resort’s sport and leisure activities. I could easily see myself there working and just taking in my surrounding.
The.Holidaymaker
Agreed, it’s pretty unique to have that offering isn’t it.

I’m hesitant to call this cabin a cabin – looks rather like a rustic yet very charming mansion. But nothing beats the sceneries. I would spend all day on that verandah overlooking the lake. What a beautiful spot!
The.Holidaymaker
This place indeed is a little bit of luxury, perfect spot to unwind.
Melissa
This resort would be a dream for me! I love the style of the interior of the home and the simplicity it displays. The surrounding area is just gorgeous, I would love to just sit outside in the hot tub and take in those views. I used to go back and forth between whether I liked the wilderness better or the city, but the wilderness has won time and time again!
The.Holidaymaker
Being in nature, even if just a weekend, helps to rejuvenate us and then back to the city we go!
Gus Feliciano
This cabin looks amazing! Would love to stay here and relax…one day!
The.Holidaymaker
Hopefully one day you will get the chance.
Kerry Heaney
This looks like a wonderful place to unwind. The decor is just perfect, and I would have a hard time removing myself from the swing chair unless it is to relax in the gorgeous bed. Take me there now!
The.Holidaymaker
Here are so many cozy spots to relax in this cabin. But agree, both are incredibly comfortable.
Umiko
What I like most of this place is its light, bright, and airy interior. Also how they put the bedrooms at tree level, so it feels like staying in a tree house. So clever!
The.Holidaymaker
Both bedrooms have incredible walk outs to take in a great view.
Clarice
Wow! This place looks so modern yet homey. We would love to spend the weekend here. It’s definitely a perfect way to relax especially with your own spa experience. Thank you for sharing this.
The.Holidaymaker
It’s got that extra special something that most Airbnb do not have.
Agnes
Cabin Spahaus seems a perfect place for escape and chill as I love cabins. The scenery is so beautiful, and it seems to be so quiet there. I love such sites. It’s great that there are outdoor activities as well as and spa. The interior is also nicely arranged and at the same time very comfortable that I could close myself there for a week with a book and forget about the whole world.
The.Holidaymaker
This is definitely the place to do that. A great little reading nook is there too.
Subhashish Roy
Absolutely fantastic. What a beautiful property. Luxury couldn’t be better. Wish I could head off there. Would have loved to see a bit of food on offer as well.
The.Holidaymaker
There is a close by restaurant wishin walking distance, or best part to cooking and staying in.
Saurabh

It’s a pretty incredible place.
Candy
What a fantastic retreat. I just love the minimal design and all the black accents. I am a huge fan of these colors and would thoroughly enjoy both the indoor and outdoor space here.
The.Holidaymaker
The simple and minimalist interior is perfect, as it doesn’t take away from the natural surroundings.
Jamie Italiane-DeCubellis
This looks like such a relaxing place to be- from the inside decor and the way in brings the outdoors into it, to the superb surroundings. I can imagine myself enjoying a soak in that tub!
The.Holidaymaker
It is indeed incredibly relaxing, and you’re right the surroundings are superb.
Emma
The outside is so understated compared to how pretty it is inside. I love the look of the black and white throughout the property, and that hot tub would be awesome just outside. What pretty views and surrounding area.
The.Holidaymaker
The hot tub is pretty incredible, nothing beats those nature views.
Barry
The cabin looks a delight – in fact very Scandinavian in style which is a design I love. The outdoor pics look great, as always and the colours of the turning leaves so creative. An outdoor spa in Autumn would ve quite invigorating.
Access to the club would be a big plus point for me.
The.Holidaymaker
Yes, this cabin would be great to visit in any season, but agree that the autumn is a special time of year to visit this area of Québec, and this cabin is the place to stay.
Linda (LD Holland)
We are always looking for a different type of place to visit. Cabin Spahaus looks like a spot we might want to try. I like the very modern inside decoration. And so cool that a whole wing is set up as a spa experience. The sunken hot tub sounds great!
The.Holidaymaker
It’s a great place Linda, lots of nearby activities and scenery or simply relaxing at the space. You had to tear me away from the sauna.
Natascha
Cabin Spahaus looks wonderfully relaxing. I really like the interior design und would love to sit and read in this hanging chair. The big bathtub is also great, as I do not have a bathtub at all in my flat!
The.Holidaymaker
Indeed it is so relaxing. I had the best sleep, it might have been the sauna, or maybe the hot tub, or maybe the super comfortable beds.
Ambica Gulati
I really like the look of these cabins. They have all the amenities that we need on a relaxing holiday. And the main attraction–the landscapes and the views. Would love to savour the environs and have a slow holiday.
The.Holidaymaker
The amenities are endless, something for everyone.
Francesca
Love a good retreat! This sounds so relaxing! Would love to do it!
The.Holidaymaker
It’s definitely relaxing with so many choices of things to do to keep you busy for several days, or simply slow down a bit.
Carrie
Wow I love the design style! This looks like a super cozy place to hang out for a few days.
The.Holidaymaker

That cabin looks so impressive on the inside compared to the outside! It’s definitely a beautiful place to stay if you’re looking for a luxury retreat.

The exterior is a simple design reminiscent of what you mind find in Scandinavian countries. The inside carries in the simple design but warmed up with its great interior.
