Everything was terrific!The hosts were available, congenial and really nice people. It was a pleasure to get their acquaintance. The house was a real hit with my whole family, which I welcomed for Christmas dinner. Thank you François and Rose!
It was a beautiful home with an amazing view of the water. It was a perfect stay for what our group needed. Lovely and very easy. Thank you for making it a wonderful experience
The house was gorgeous, and generally very clean. Everything is as advertised! We had our wedding here and it was the perfect space for everyone to get together! We had just over 30 in attendance, and the living spaces and seating on the first floor worked great! The second kitchen upstairs came in super handy as well!
The yard is absolutely gorgeous and there's a beautiful walking path right out the front door. Will definitely be back!

Thanks for your positive feedback and most importantly thanks for taking such good care of my home you and your family. Very happy you had a great time all together
You’re welcome again anytime 😊
The property is very beautiful and is at a great location. We reached there around midnight after a long drive (12-13hrs long) and were too tired to take any pictures of the previously damaged items. With that being said, I would not book this property again mainly due to the owner making false accusations regarding furniture being moved around a bit and leaving the trash bag behind during check out. The owner also tried to pin previously damaged furniture (one window blind headrail and stained sofa) on me. I denied all the false accusations and eventually stopped replying to the owner when they kept on messaging/harassing me regarding the previously damaged items.

I’m very sorry that you felt that way. As I said the check out rules were very clear and stated many times especially when I authorized a late check out with pleasure usually that gives extra time to double check nothing is left behind. The house rules were very clear and you agreed with them before your arrival. It’s normal when there’s too many people partying that some things can get broken and you don’t see it. we just have to be honest and find a solution. As written no accusations were made since they were pictures from before and after showing all the evidence, without any proof of anything, I would never blame a guest at my house and that never happened before.
L’hébergement acceptait les animaux de compagnie et cela est très apprécié. Immense propriété, très belle et très propre avec superbe vue. Grand stationnement, grand vestibule très pratique en hiver. Splendide verrière. La porte d’un réfrigérateur est très difficile à ouvrir mais sinon il y a 2 belles grandes cuisines très efficaces. La maison est tellement grande et il y. a tellement de pièces que certains peuvent se retirer pour lire ou se reposer alors que d’autres préfèrent échanger et s’amuser ensemble. Merveilleux séjour!
