Neighborhood

Macondo Ouareau is nestled in a peaceful forested area near Saint-Donat, next to the Forêt Ouareau Regional Park, one of the most beautiful outdoor destinations in the Lanaudière region.

In winter, the area is especially attractive, with four ski resorts located between 15 and 25 minutes away, making it an ideal base for ski days followed by cozy evenings by the fire or in the hot tub. Throughout the year, guests can enjoy easy access to nature while remaining a short drive from the shops, cafés, and restaurants of Saint-Donat.

La maison est spectaculaire : très propre, parfaitement rangée et pensée dans les moindres détails pour rendre le séjour vraiment agréable. Les environs sont magnifiques, la vue est superbe et le calme du lieu est incomparable. La communication avec l’hôte a également été excellente, toujours disponible et très attentionné. La maison se trouve aussi à quelques minutes d’un parc où l’on peut faire de nombreuses activités, et tout cela à un coût très abordable. En résumé, une expérience exceptionnelle. Nous reviendrions sans hésiter.

The place was amazing and it was very neat and clean. Everything was well organized and everything was in a workable condition. We haven't used the jacuzzi but it was all on and heated throughout our stay. Everything was well maintained. Maria was very friendly and genuine host. She replied on time everytime. She was sending the instructions before time so it was easy for us to navigate. Thank you very much Maria we will definitely come back and will suggest your place to our friends.
