"Well off the beaten path in the scenic Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans, Instants d’Absolu Ecolodge & Spa is a stylish retreat in the middle of nowhere. This restored farmhouse is the only hotel — indeed, the only building of any kind, save for a bird observatory across the water — on the wooded shores of the deep blue Lac du Pêcher. There are no screens or phones here, just quiet, sun-filled suites, a lakefront restaurant, a state-of-the-art spa, and refreshing views of natural landscapes all around. Covered in snow in winter, these landscapes are a playground for hiking and horseback riding the rest of the year." - Tablet Hotels
