Welcome to our peaceful retreat in the heart of the Gatineau Hills, the perfect home base for outdoor enthusiasts and families alike!

• The space: Our comfortable two-bedroom home features an open-concept living and dining area and a fully functional kitchen.
• Accommodations: One bedroom features a queen bed, while the second is equipped with a crib, making this an ideal setup for those traveling with an infant or toddler.
• Outdoor living: Enjoy our large front porch, perfect for a quiet morning of reading, or relax on the furnished back patio overlooking a private backyard bordered by forest.
• The location: You’ll be living just minutes from Gatineau Park, with hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing trails right at your doorstep.
Guest Access
Bungalow featuring one main floor with two bedrooms.
While there is a fully furnished basement with an available queen-bed, there is not washroom in the basement. We therefore recommend our place for 3 people (couple with a small child).
