Cabines Niksen is a lakeside rental cabin in the Laurentians, just one hour from Montreal, nestled in the beautiful Saint‑Sauveur Valley. Niksen, a Dutch concept, refers to the art of doing nothing—guilt‑free. This fully equipped modern mini‑chalet with a private spa offers a unique nature‑immersive getaway. Perfect for a romantic stay, a relaxing escape, or a short retreat. Enjoy the pedal boat, kayaks, and paddleboard directly on the lake (private dock). Hiking, snowshoeing, and skiing are all nearby. Comfortably accommodates 2 guests and your dog is welcome (up to 2 dogs, $50 per stay). An intimate alternative to a hotel in the Laurentians. Cabines Niksen aims to reduce its environmental impact one stay at a time. Composting and recycling are easily accessible to guests to help minimize the footprint of their visit. The chalet is fully equipped for the comfort of its guests. We rely on guests to treat the premises with utmost care.

The chalet is designed for the comfort of 2 people maximum and 2 dogs ($50 extra charge per stay) at all times (indoor and outdoor).

Fishing is not allowed on the lake in order to preserve its ecosystem, protect local wildlife, and maintain the peacefulness of the area. Besides, the lake is shallow and doesn’t contain any fish species of interest.
