Beautiful Cottage and Lovely Property, Escape to Nature

The cottage was absolutely comfortable and beautiful, one of a kind! Very clean, well stocked, amazing sheets and blankets (high end hotel feel); we enjoyed our stay here very much. The property is gorgeous and teeming with wildlife. We saw deer, fox, bunnies, and so many different types of birds right from the cottage and during our walks on the trails. We would definitely stay again, and would highly recommend it to others!

Hidden Gem

I booked this beautiful chalet for my wife and I to celebrate our 20 year marriage anniversary. The booking went well and our host Sarah was a real pleasure to communicate with. She even went so far as to leave us a gift bag and card for our celebration. I definitely recommend this chalet for anyone who wants to get away and enjoy the area. Hats off to Sarah for a great time ! Shawn D

Idyllic Winter Weekend Away

Our adult family of four celebrated my sister-in-law's milestone birthday over 3 nights at this property. We had an amazing time. The property was as described, owner was easy to talk to and responsive and the surroundings were beautiful. We were able to take advantage of proximity to Ottawa, local Ski Hills and Nordik Spa. Extra touches were made by the owner to be sure we were comfortable (including extra instructions book, coffee pods, some snacks). I enjoyed the extra care taken to add privacy to the loft and living room if needed through the addition of curtains. This addition also helped with minimizing light in the morning so we weren't woken up too early. We had a considerable amount of snow over the weekend and someone came and plowed the driveway before we were even awake. Note that the water pressure is quite low, but this is normal for a property of this type and we were able to manage just fine. We would love to come back again in the winter, but could see how it would be a great property in the summer as well.

Neglect

At first glance this property look lovely. Then you realize that the grasses are so tall My 110 lbs dog disappeared in it, so did huge standing rocks and tree stumps, that he encountered (hard) as he romped. The “driveway” portrayed in the pictures, leading to the trail, is an overgrown swamp. After numerous attempts to get to the trail in the woods, we had to give up- and this trail was the main reason we rented this property. Around the buildings are piles and piles of garbage , some material sharp and dangerous. And in the cottage itself, nearly everything you go to use, is broken. There are two showers, the upstairs shower head is not useable just hanging down, the handheld Works. In the downstairs shower, there is no mixing battery so it’s with freezing cold or boiling hot. And so on and on and on. We made the best of it, because that’s how we are. But we would never return.

La maison de campagne est simplement magnifique. Très spacieux et lumineux. Super tranquille, pas de voisins, en retrait d'une route secondaire peu fréquentée. À peine 5-10 minutes du village de Perkins, où on trouve notamment un super marché avec SAQ. L'hôte répondait dans les minutes suivant notre message. Nous n'avons manqué de rien. Nous y reviendrons à coup sûr lors de notre prochaine escapade dans la région.

Bien situé

Maison bien située en fonction de la raison de notre séjour à Val-des-Monts (Exposition Arts aux Parcs) La maison nous convenait très bien sauf la faible pression de l’eau à l’étage ainsi que l’utilisation en alternance du grille-pain et le bouilloire. Dans l’ensemble, le terrain pourrait être mieux entretenu. Dans l’ensemble nous y retournerions car la maison est confortable et agréable.

Fantastic home in the woods, great rustic feeling the second you come in. Everything about the check-in and check-out process is easy and all issues with the home were communicated before hand. Fantastic home with lovely scenery!

Lovely Val-des-Monts location

This is a wonderfully quiet property just a few minutes from the center of Perkins, yet isolated from its neighbors. I was traveling with my dog and it was a good location for the two of us. The owners were friendly and responsive.

Magnifique

Nous avons séjourné dans un magnifique chalet. Bien équipé, il ne manque de rien. Les lits sont confortables. L’endroit est très chaleureux, c’est la place idéale pour relaxer sans se casser la tête. Les enfants ont adoré le grand terrain et les jeux extérieurs. On recommande fortement!
