Gatineau Park Cabins and Yurts
Have you ever dreamed of an experience of nature so profound that the silence of the forest penetrates to the very depths of your being? Cross country skiers and snowshoers can extend their stay by spending the night in one of the Park’s cabin located in the heart of the forest.
Gatineau Park Cabins and Yurts
Gatineau Park offers the perfect winter getaways at a handful of cabins and yurts scattered throughout the Park.
The 4 cabins and 3 yurts accomodate between 6 and 17 people and are very reasonably priced. Most involve a ski or snowshoe trail for access, which only adds to the natural seclusion of these rustic overnight spots.

Gatineau Park offers five cabins park users can rent for overnight winter camping adventures. Below is a description of each cabin, with indication of the maximum occupancy, amenities and the nightly cost for the cabin.

Gatineau Park Yurts
