manoir du canard

Welcome to our authentic Quebecois log home nestled in the Laurentian mountains. This beautiful chalet was originally built in 1821 and has been tastefully renovated with modern amenities, including a luxury kitchen fit for entertaining, gorgeous bathtub with view, high speed internet (fiber-optic), private office, and sauna. Manicured gardens, a private swimming hole and beach, and private lake with kayaks allow you to enjoy and escape into nature.

​

The grounds: Our secluded chalet sits on 7 acres of private land, with beautifully cared for gardens, mountain stream, swimming hole with a small sandy beach, and its own private lake for kayaking. There are also multiple nature trails for hiking within minutes of the property. The famous P’tit Train du Nord (with cycling, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling trails) is a short 10 minute drive away.

 

The chalet: Originally built in the 1800’s, the home uses the authentic French-Canadian construction style of pièce-sur-pièce. The square logs were hewn by hand - when you visit, you will see the original saw markings on the beams. This part of the home has views of the lake from each room, a private office, and original “rail road style” bedrooms, where one room leads to the next. You will find “flying geese” pattern quilts, original paintings by Québécois artists, and local Lampadis Montréal lamps. Few examples exist of these original pièce-sur-pièce homes in such fine condition.
