Amazing Lodgings in the Heart of Our Dark Sky Reserves

Updated on Jul 28, 2025

Did you know that the Eastern Townships region is home to two Dark Sky Reserves? In fact, both Mount Mégantic and Mount Sutton will have you discover a celestial dome of a rare quality where you can observe the stars and many other astronomical phenomena... among these, the solar eclipse we’ll witness next April 8! Whether you have a passion for studying the sky or you’re just a bit of a dreamer, we’ve collected a list of some of the most beautiful lodgings for stargazing in the Townships.

Domaine la Forêt enchantée

A panoramic view

Both secluded on a 12-acre property and yet close to Mont-Mégantic National Park, this is the perfect place to forget about time for a while. Newly opened in May 2025, the estate invites you to unwind and soak in the beauty of nature. When it comes to accommodations, you’re free to choose: cozy cottages, elegant rooms, glamping tents, or even RV sites — every option is there for a magical stay! Complete the experience with a relaxing day at the wellness area (also accessible without an overnight stay!) or indulge in a delicious fondue, available à la carte at the resto-bar, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Bora Boréal

A Lake Mirroring the Stars

By day, Bora Borealis’s floating cabins, on small Batley Lake near the town of Bury, are already amazing treasures on their own! Imagine them after the sun sets, as the sky opens up to offer you an amazing show inside this peaceful environment! Indeed, here you’ll find yourself in the heart of the very first Dark Sky Reserve, established on Mount Mégantic. All over the calm waters of the lake, thousands of bright reflections are watching you. Stretch out on a cozy bed in your MiniBora or Boravilla and contemplate the stars through the skylight windows installed just above. We promise you some truly magical moments!

Cinq Sens Lodgings

Tales of the Night Sky

More than just a lodging offer, Aux Cinq Sens is a complete and immersive experience waiting for you in the heart of our first International Dark Sky Reserve. Located in Piopolis near Mount Mégantic, the Cinq Sens accommodations are established on the Waban-Aki and Huron-Wendat First Nations’ ancestral lands. Once you’ve comfortably settled in your eco-friendly lodging (you can choose a yurt, a studio, an off-the-grid tiny house or cottage, or yet again a rustic campsite), head out to explore this 8-hectare site and all its rare natural beauty. Then, during an evening led by your host, learn all about the sky, the science of the cosmos and the lessons taught by the wisdom of the indigenous people. A must-do activity that will change your perceptions about the night sky.

The Murmuring Stars

Under the starry sky of Mount Mégantic, discover the rustic accommodations of Aux Tipis de la Rivière Sauvage.

In this silence, interrupted only by the rustling leaves and rippling water, drift off into your dreams for a few more moments... Then, before returning to the comfort of your lodging for a peaceful night’s sleep, stop off at the riverside fire pit.
