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
