Discover Le Skogen!

Welcome to Le Skogen, your stunning Scandinavian retreat nestled in a vast wooded area with no rear neighbors, located in Shannon, just 30 minutes from downtown Quebec City.

Skogen means “forest” in Swedish. This name embodies the quiet strength, resilience, and harmony of Nordic landscapes. This cottage is designed to offer you a sanctuary in the heart of the woods, where every detail is thought out for your comfort and to help you reconnect with what matters most.
It is the promise of a Scandinavian paradise, just a stone’s throw from Quebec City.

Breathe in the fresh air, relax in the spa under the stars, and enjoy an authentic Nordic experience.

Perfect for groups, Le Skogen offers a cozy space with a gas fireplace, private spa, pool table, foosball table, arcade, and fully equipped kitchen.

You have exclusive access to the entire cottage, your private spa on the patio, as well as your private terrace and outdoor space.

You also have access to the shared facilities at Domaine Les Villas Scandinaves, located a 2-minute walk away: heated outdoor pool (seasonal), spa and Finnish sauna in the pavilion, pickleball court, children’s playground (play structures), outdoor fireplace in the pavilion, showers, and bathroom.

The private spa on the patio is reserved exclusively for your use. The other facilities are shared with other guests at the domain.
