It opened up in 2000 as the first Indigenous-owned ecolodge in the northern hemisphere, and seems to have gone from strength to strength. It's still run by the MoCreebec people and they help visitors explore the James Bay sub-arctic region and the Tidewater Provincial Park.</p><p>The lodge has twenty guest rooms in total with some pretty environmental-sound features: for example, four of the rooms have Clivus Multrum composting toilets, which means they have no water but a lot of <b>redwiggler worms</b> that create organic fertilizer! So only request these rooms if you can really handle it.<p>There is also no air-conditioning, just carefully designed door, amandak 2007-08-01T11:51:35-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
