Meech Lake rifugio tranquillo

The home is set upon the hillside with a great view of the lake through the trees. The space is open and well laid out for cooking and gathering as well as the ability to spread out for some quiet time. We did not get to enjoy the lake house but it is a massive space which no doubt enables the true lakefront experience. There is one master bedroom and a guest room that share the master bath which necessitates some coordination but still works well. The host is super responsive and is truly happy to share the space their family created. I would definitely book again if in the Ottawa area.We were here for business and it’s a 25 min trip to the city. Uber worked well when needed

Such a lovely getaway close to home. Stunning property, gorgeous lake. Will very likely be back!

It was a very special part of our visit to Canada. Breathtaking location and beautiful house.

The property in in Gatineau Park, on Meech Lake. The house itself is immaculate! The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could need. Amid beautiful reclaimed wood decor, there was also a Huge Gas range. Dining room, living room and TV loft were excellent. Main bathroom features a stand-alone tub that even die-hard shower-ers would be inclined to use. The space was spotless on check-in. Now onto the star of the show - the boat house. A two story extravaganza with BBQ, lounges, shady areas on the top, with a beautiful screened in porch, with fridge and freezer at water level. Kayaks, floaties, life jackets all there. Dining on either level. Beautiful view and easy access onto the lake. The house is a bit of a climb up the stairs, but well worth it. A giant storm knocked out power in the middle of the night, but their backup generator kicked in automatically. The host was responsive and our stay was superb.

We stayed at this location for two nights. It is a very large somewhat impersonal house that has a lot of amenities in it. It is fully stocked to have a party for a large group. We found it to be very dark and not really inviting but very well maintained and comfortable. It faces north and is not touched by sun so it's probably very good for a hot summer day. The best feature was the boat house which was lovely and very comfortable and has a lot of equipment so I just kayaks and children's toys etc. Lots of room for barbecues and parties.
