The micro chalet was an amazing escape from city life. Fully surrounded and immersed in nature with gorgeous views of the mountains and city far below. Nice touches such as coffee, wash cloths, and cooking oil.

One our best stays ever!
We absolutely loved this place perched on top of a mountain overlooking the St Lawrence river. We thoroughly enjoyed the view, firepit and outside balcony, plus the peace and quiet of this special location. The kitchen had all the necessary equipment items and the BBQ grill worked as needed. There was ample heat and AC available depending on the season. Despite the rustic remoteness, all the needed creature comforts were there. We would definitely stay here again!

Cute escape in the woods
This property was amazing. Everything worked great and was very luxurious given the location. Directions to the property were clear and easy to follow. It snowed during our stay and I was very impressed by the effort to keep the roads plowed and accessible. Could not have asked for a better place to watch the snow fall!

Amazing location!
Really cool home with an amazing view and good proximity to town and Quebec City. The home has a good layout and plenty of room for two people, along with a really nice deck and porch. While it’s off the grid, it’s not noticeable- it has pretty much all of the modern conveniences. Private setting with a long gravel road to access, follow the owners directions in the listing (for us GPS didn’t bring us to the exact location).

Very special place that was incredibly cozy and accommodating. Set on a stunning piece of property with complete privacy and beautiful mountains all around yet close to great shops and restaurants. Could not have asked for a better place for my wife and I to spend our anniversary getaway.

Stunning views
Helios is a very special place to stay. Daniel and Marie-France were incredibly helpful. The chalet was cozy and so clean. 360 breath taking views with trails leading right from the property. We biked/ hiked and snowshoed every day we were there. It had snowed quite heavily over night and the driveway/road was plowed by 7am. We would recommend staying at Helios a million times over.

Super séjour !
Nous avons eu un superbe séjour dans le chalet Hélios. Super bike-in/bike-out. Nous avons eu le meilleur des deux monde, la tranquillité de la montagne Maelstrom et l'adrénaline des sentiers du Moulin pour le vélo de montagne. Sans oublier la vue qui est magnifique ! Nous avons adoré !

Tout était parfait
C'est un endroit tellement magnifique. La vue est splendide, c'est tranquille. j'y ai fait du télétravail en vidéoconférence et je n'ai eu aucun problème pour y travailler. La réception cellulaire était très bonne aussi. Tout est confortable et j'ai été surpris par la quantité de choses qui étaient à ma disposition. Je n'ai manqué absolument de rien. Je vous le recommande sans aucune hésitation.
