From the host
This property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac made up of about 20 lots, each ranging from 2 to 5 acres. The area is heavily treed with a mix of spruce and poplar, so every home has its own sense of space and privacy.
We’re a pet-friendly neighbourhood—some neighbours have dogs, cats, and even chickens! The cul-de-sac is at the end of a gravel road, up a steep hill upon entrance, which means there’s very little traffic aside from local residents. It’s the kind of place where everyone knows who’s coming and going.
All of our neighbours are full-time, long-term residents who value the peace and natural beauty of the area. We’re grateful to live in a community that respects the quiet, and we invite our guests to enjoy that same connection to nature during their stay.
