OFF GRID - NO ELECTRICITY - NO WATER - COMPOST TOILET A unique glamping experience located in the beautiful town of St-Mathieu-du-Parc. 

 This confortable dome has a queen-size bed (bedding included) that faces a large bay opening with amazing views of the beautiful nature that surrounds it. *We are happy to share our group/family national park pass at the Dome that will give full access to La Mauricie National Park which is located just a 15-minute drive away (St-Mathieu entrance, this entrance is open from Mai until October); Hiking, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and much more are waiting for you!* This space is unique - and off grid. Please read the details below to help determine if its the right fit for you. :)

 This dome has no electricity and no water. Off grid also means a compost toilet -- Yay!

 Bring your bug spray, water, and food for a perfect quiet getaway. The dome has some games, cards, and books for you to enjoy as well.

 We have parking available for 2 cars. It’s in a cleared spot right in front of the dome. You must carry your things from the parking area for about a minute or so leading to the dome. There are no facilities to store food so please bring along your cooler and ice. Also there is wildlife so please, keep your food in the dome and in closed containers. We don't supply any firewood, we invite you to go at Canac, Canadian Tire or Rona to purchase everything you need ( don't forget the kindling) There is wood on site available for emergency only. 


There is some cell service up in this part of the woods. Though the strength seems to vary depending on your device and your carrier. * No WIFI.* 
 MASSAGE THERAPY: We are pleased to offer you the opportunity to receive a relaxing massage or a therapeutic massage in the comfort of your Dome. These are provided by certified massage therapists. No need to break your relaxing state after your massage, you are already home, an unforgettable experience! Receipts for your insurance will be available on site.

 Who needs WIFI when there are tons of activities available close to the Dome; Only 15 minutes car ride from La Mauricie National Park ( St-Mathieu entrance). 

You have a 4x4 vehicle? Great, you are 20 minutes away from Lac à la Coureuse and Lac Larose with stunning views and amazing swimming spots :) Bring your paddle board!

 You will be only 10 minutes away from the very well known Duché de Bicolline if you are a fan of live action role-playing.
 ‘’Bicolline has become a reference in the world of medieval-fantasy immersion and has grown into a community of players that come from all around the world.’’

 Lots of restaurants options are available to you in St-Mathieu-du-Parc downtown and the neighbor village, St-Élie-de-Caxton. We also have a liquor store and convenience store in St-Mathieu-du-Parc. Town of

Très joli comme endroit, la propriétaire est d’une gentillesse incroyable! Notre séjour était à la hauteur de nos attentes et le fait que le réseau ne soit pas accessible nous a permis de réellement décrocher! Merci Alexandra :)

Tout était parfait dans ce dôme! Nous avons profité de la belle pluie et du feu de foyer pour relaxer. Nous le conseillons à tout le monde!

Une nuit sous le Dôme
Nous avons adoré dormir sous le dôme dans la forêt. C’était d’une tranquillité incroyable, extrêmement propre et d’un confort très douillet. Alexandra nous a fait un très bel accueil et elle nous a donné de belles directives pour visiter le parc national de la Mauricie. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir pour une autre belle aventure.

Our stay at Alexandra's dome was absolutely fantastic! The dome itself was so cozy and beautiful. Alexandra was an awesome host, she showed us around and even made sure the wood stove was burning when we arrived. We totally recommend staying here!
