The Accommodation:



Built over 300 years ago, "La maison de l'île" is one of the oldest homes in the Americas. It exudes historic charm, featuring stone walls, a majestic fireplace, a traditional miller's staircase, a pantry (laiterie), and glimpses of history scattered throughout the rooms.



We have done our utmost to make the house comfortable while respecting the architectural constraints of the era. Consequently, the ceilings are 7 feet high; while this adds to the home's heritage value, it may be a drawback for some guests. The traditional staircase does not have a handrail or guardrail, which may pose safety challenges for young children or individuals with limited mobility. Please contact us regarding this if necessary.



Otherwise, the house is fully equipped to welcome families or groups of friends, offering a very comfortable—and, we hope, unforgettable—country-style getaway.



The 65,000-square-foot property is set well back from the road, creating a true haven of peace. A 9-person hot tub allows you to enjoy the tranquility and the Nordic lifestyle in any season.



Other things to note:

In winter, the slope leading up to the residence can be difficult to navigate during icy conditions or storms. For this reason, all-wheel drive is required. We do not provide roadside assistance for vehicles.
