About the host
Hosted by Julie
I am from Renfrew County and this makes me a lucky lady. This region is filled with nature based beauty. I love spending time amongst the trees and on the water. It gives me great pleasure to host folks who want to escape city life and soak up the healing vibes here in the valley.
Why they chose this property
Nothing beats the panoramic view of one of the most beautiful rivers in the world, the Ottawa River.
What makes this property unique
The Jack Pine is a very private and large lot. Its frontage consists of a remarkable example of the Canadian Shield. The paddling and fishing are spectacular.
