Hébergement les pieds sur terre — Hotel in Saint-Calixte

I like the concept... We love camping and we've had many shelter experiences on a few continents...||BUT...||1- If you offer accommodations with kitchen equipments, dinnerware and utensils, there’s a basic rule all over the world for public sanitary measures: they have to be clean and disinfected. I Can’t blame it on the prior customers whom you menaced a 50-100$ fee if they don’t “clean” the place before leaving. Neither you can't blame the “volunteers” who do very basic hostel services. I blame the owners for poorly operating this business. One of the cutting boards smelled so bad that it was obviously contaminated with salmonella. GROSS!!!||||2- If you offer bedsheet services at an extra cost, there’s a basic rule all over the world: they have to be dry, clean, disinfected, and free of animal/human hair. Again, the business owner cannot blame the “vulonteers” who do the work. We paid 20$ for bedsheets that were King instead of Queen size, we’re still wet, smelled funny and had an unusual number of cat/dog/donkey hair... I understand that the owners are quite Zen since they advertise that they practice some type of meditation everyday until 11am, but I was definitely Zen not for paying for disgusting bedsheets... ||||3- The bubble gives an unbelievable winter camping experience at night time. It is a special piece of equipment that requires to be in constant air pressure to be kept inflated. Unfortunately, by seeing all of the dust and dirt accumulated in the entrance and exits of the air conduits that the system obviously lacks basic air filter maintenance and cleaning. Thank goodness I have no respiratory health issues otherwise this bubble would be a .... special experience...||||4- I love the eco toilet system, but I had to disinfect the seat... again, you cannot blame “volunteers” for missing this one...||||5- A lot of water melting on the roof was dripping indoors around the kitchen wall and windows all the way to the floor. By looking at the water stain patterns, this seems to be ongoing for quite a while and hasn’t been repaired. A few more seasons and probabilities are gonna be quite favorable for a serious mould infestation....||||5- looking at some or the electrical set up in the bubble, there some things that are definitely up to Construction Code and hope nobody gets hurt... |||| Other than that, great concept, but since the management seems to be more busy with their eco-ideologies or religious practice, I’m not sure I will give them business again, neither recommend the place...

Five stars because the important stuff is all spectacular. You get fresh water in jugs replenished each day, heated sheet things on the mattresses in case it’s cold, A/C and a heater and a pellet fire. Bbq outside in a screened in porch. Hot tub was hot and clean and amazing. There’s even a friendly cat that lives on the grounds, named Chewbacca.

The view of the sky is so relaxing and we even loved the night that it rained. We stayed three nights. I think because there is no real plumbing, perhaps a two night stay would be ideal. After a few days we had had enough of sharing a composting toilet with a family of four all inside a bubble together! It is also changed each day and very clean over all, just not something I’d be into for many nights.

The service is amazing. You check yourself in but if you did need anything, they are very kind and receptive and quick to reply.

Some of the cabins are enough of a walk, or over rough enough terrain, that you would benefit from being able to mainly use backpacks and just a cart for sleeping bags etc. It was only a few meters of steep rocky terrain but we struggled. I should have just asked them for help, which is available for larger parties if needed.

They have created a magical place with everything you need to do glamping at its best. We will return! I’d like to go to one of the cabins deeper into the woods in hopes of even more...
