About Property

Discover the unique character of The Pioneer, a one-of-a-kind prototype retreat nestled in the serene landscape of Chertsey, Quebec. As the very first build of the BESIDE project, this chalet blends architectural innovation with cozy intimacy, serving as the favorite escape for the Director of Hospitality. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a small chalet full of character that feels both perched and grounded.

The layout is designed for a seamless flow and an unexpected sense of space. The home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 5 guests. The sleeping arrangements include a mezzanine featuring a queen bed, a single floor mattress, and a work desk positioned by a large window. For a truly distinctive experience, the second bedroom is a pod on stilts, which includes its own in-suite full bathroom and sits on the same level as the living area. A second full bathroom is conveniently located to serve the main living space.

The heart of the home is the perched, split-level living room, featuring a conversation pit situated right in front of the wood stove—a design that creates a grounded feeling even while you are up in the air. This living area extends naturally into a covered terrace equipped with a retractable mosquito screen, ideal for enjoying cool evenings. Signature style elements, such as the black roof and windows, define the property's modern aesthetic.
