Welcome to a place where harmony between humans and nature comes to life. ESCAPA was born from a bold vision: to create minimalist and luxurious retreats that offer total immersion in the heart of the boreal forest. The name itself—an acronym for “Escapade dans une Cabane Perchée à travers les Arbres” (An Escape in a Cabin Perched through the Trees)—embodies our promise of pure wandering.
Located on the mountainside in the picturesque village of Sainte-Rose-du-Nord, our retreats are functional works of art designed to blur the line between indoors and outdoors. Each unit, with its unique architectural design and transparent glass walls, invites you to contemplate the majestic spectacle of the Saguenay Fjord.
Led by a team of five passionate founders—architects, forestry experts, and entrepreneurs—ESCAPA blends modern comfort with rigorous environmental respect. More than just a place to stay, we offer a sanctuary to reconnect with what matters most—a pause in time dedicated to renewal and wonder.
