This property was exactly what we needed for our immediate family to stay at, as we attend a Family Reunion in Lac St. Jean.
It was spacious, had the ambiance of a country home and every thing that one could possibly need was provided. We loved it!
If we have the opportunity, we would definitely stay there again.
Thank you Marc and Marie for your warm welcome!
We are really happy with the chance to experience staying at the ancestral house. I really enjoy the fact that we were able to read the story of the house. I recommend to anyone the chance to experience this wonderful house.Eveline, Claude, Celine, Gary, Sophie & Ruby
Idéalement placée entre le lac Saint Jea, notamment le Zoo de Saint Félicien et le fjord de la rivière de Saguenay. Maison très confortable dans un esprit maison ancienne en bois. Tout simplement super
Une maison à recommander, de part sa propreté, l’attention du propriétaire ainsi que le style ancien mais très bien entretenu avec tout le confort nécessaire, et très bien situé pour faire plusieurs activités.
Nous étions huit personnes ayant besoin d’espace pour des activit és diverses. Les différents salons ont beaucoup été appréciés de même que l’immense table dans la salle à dîner.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette maison ancestrale. Malgré son âge, cette belle demeure est super bien équipée que ce soit coté cuisine, service de table, mobilier confortable intérieur et extérieur, literie…. Il ne manque rien. Elle mérite de grandes familles tellement elle regorge de petits salons, cachettes. Bref, des espaces pour tous. Même si nous n’étions que deux nous avons adoré la vieille maison de Xavier. Merci à Marc et Marie d’avoir persévéré dans la préservation de leur patrimoine

Il y avait tout ce qu’il faut.
Marc est un excellent hôte, toujours disponible en cas de questions.
La maison est bien située et très calme.
Nous reviendrons.
Merci pour tout.
Nous avons grandement apprécié notre séjour. Grande maison avec beaucoup d'espace et très propre. Secteur tranquille et quand même près de la ville d'Alma.
