Our large house is located slightly on the outskirts of Rimouski, in the quiet neighborhood of Pointe-au-Père.
Rimouski offers many interesting tourist activities locally, including museums, festivals, restaurants, performance halls. The outdoors is undoubtedly one of its main assets with hikes at Bic National Park (30 km) or at Chutes Neigette, Wednesday regattas at the Marina, skiing at Mont-Comi or Mont-St-Mathieu, cycling on its bucolic country roads, kayaking on St-Barnabé Island and the Bic Islands, etc.
The space
Plenty of space for everyone!
In total, possibility of 9 places to sleep in 1 Queen bed, 1 king sofa bed, 1 double bed, 1 single bed, 1 single bunk bed and 1 single futon bed.
Magnificent kitchen and dining room completely redone in country style,
Only 1 shower and a hot tub.
Large yard, many recently planted trees, perennial and wild flowers, vegetable garden, children's playhouses and large 14' gazebo equipped with mosquito nets.
We have 2 cats who spend their day outside and a robot vacuum cleaner who regularly cleans the ground floor, so not too much hair everywhere.
Guest access
All access to the house is via a staircase, except for the garage. However, there is a staircase to climb from the garage to get to the ground floor.
Notes
A cycle path along the coast goes from the village of Bic in the west (35 km) to Sainte-Luce-sur-Mer in the east (12 km) passing through downtown Rimouski to the west (10 km). Otherwise, for more experienced cyclists, the surrounding area is filled with beautiful bucolic country roads for all tastes, with or without hills, with or without asphalt.

Getting to my home
The best way to get to or move around the Bas-Saint-Laurent region remains thecar.
From Montreal or Quebec, there are also intercity buses (Keolis) which make the trip twice a day and drop off near the shopping center 8 km from our house. From there, you have to take either public transport (taxibus) or a taxi.
Thetrain is unfortunately no longer a recommended option since it makes the journey (8-9 hours) once a week at night.
There are certain flights that go to Mont-Joli.
There is a car rental center in the commercial district 4 km from the bus station and the city center or Mont-Joli airport.
Nearest airport
