Overview
We love hosting! If you are our guest, you become part of our family. We enjoy talking with our guests (in French or English). Especially evening meal is a wonderful time to get together while enjoying a good dinner. We appreciate very much guests who want to create lasting friendships. Our unique architectural house is located in the nicest subdivision in Gatineau-Hull. We have big garden just one street away from the Gatineau Provincial Park and with bike paths leading to the center of the city. There is a bus stop 5 min away. Our subdivision is quiet, but well equipped with stores of all kinds. We love hosting university students! University of Ottawa and Ottawa center is 35-45min by direct bus connection. The Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO) is less then 30min by direct bus or 20 min by bike. My husband and I work from home, so we have time for our guests. I am professional artist and book illustrator. We love skiing, hiking, art, outdoors, cooking, watching movies, gardening and music. We LOVE and do a lot of sports. Cross-country skiing is my favorite. We have access to ski and bike trails starting right across the street. In winter it can be as cold as -30C early in the morning and in summer as hot as +35C in the afternoon! Nearest downhill ski center is 15 min away by car. ADDITIONAL INFO 1) Bathroom is semi-private, shared with one guest (if we have another guest). 2) We offer discount for guests staying longer than 4 months. Rebate (50$) starts on the fifth month and is applied every month for the rest of your stay. 3) We have mandatory meal plan (all you can eat - 14$/day). I love healthy homemade cooking and baking. Mostly we eat dinner altogether. For other meals; you can eat with us or take food from our fridge, anytime you are hungry. 4) Please keep in mind that we require our guests to submit us a copy of their ID (before check-in) by email, which will be provided once the booking is confirmed online. We are looking forward to meet you…
