These are 8 A-frame cabins in Quebec to consider for your next getaway.
With spring finally making its long-awaited appearance, we are slowly coming out of our hibernation period. Days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising, and we want to experience life again. Spring is a great time to get back in touch with nature, and Canada has a lot of beautiful places to visit.
I thought this spring I would plan a getaway at an A-Frame cabin that doesn’t require crossing the border at the moment. Personally, I think it is a great idea, especially since it seems that cross-boarding rules change on a weekly basis.
Quebec has the Laurentides, an area North of Montreal where in winter you can go skiing. For the rest of the year, you can go walking on their numerous trails, and go chill by their multiple lakes. There are plenty of outdoor activities you can partake in this beautiful province.
Lots of beautiful A-Frame Airbnbs and cabins, or as we call them here, chalets, have popped up in the last couple of years.
What’s great about those A-Farmed cabins is that they offer you some privacy. I picked most of them with a location that is not too remote. So you can enjoy all that nature has to offer, while still being close enough to the city. A great combination, as far as I’m concerned.
Let’s take a look at 8 of the best A-frame cabins in Quebec. Start planning your next getaway at any of these gorgeous cabins, you’ll be grateful you did.

We’re almost in May now, but for future reference, this cabin is great to keep in mind for sugaring off-season in Quebec. For those not familiar with one of Quebec’s proudest traditions, sugaring off has been compared to a rite of passage in Montreal.
From late February till early May of each year, the maple syrup from the trees is collected. The maple farmers welcome visitors to their sugar shacks to enjoy their crops. That consists of eggs, baked beans, and ham, all slathered in maple syrup. A true delight that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime.
