Meech Lake peaceful retreat

Enjoyed our stay, peaceful and relaxing. House is well-equipped. Excellent communication with the hostess, responded to messages promptly. Would stay again.

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.

We came up for the tulip festival and wanted to experience the city of Ottawa but wanted to be away from city life for down time. This house was perfect for exactly that. With great proximity to Ottawa it was easy in and out. Once you arrive to the house it seems a world away. We did not here any sounds and rested well inside. The boat house area was wonderful. A visit to Old Chelsea is a must, with quaint shops and excellent food choices! Thank you for sharing this home with us.

The house is beautiful, very clean and well provisioned. We very much enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that there are about 40 stairs from the parking area to the front door, which was a bit tricky for my bad back and my daughter’s sore hip. So you should be in decent physical health for that. Otherwise it was a fabulous getaway, very relaxing.

Such a beautiful place. The house is much bigger than you would expect looking at the photos. The boat house house with the balcony by the lake is wonderful, we want to go back during fall to enjoy the view of the lake even more.

This was my second stay and it was as fabulous as the first. Great location, beautiful views, well appointed, spotless…I can go on and on. Just perfect.

This property and the location exceeded our expectations. The property had everything we needed(kitchen supplies,bedding,etc.). The boathouse waterfront was perfect for relaxation, kayaking the lake, enjoying nature and enjoying meals outdoors. Would definitely return and highly recommend!!

The property was very spacious and well maintained. Lots of extras including kitchen supplies and board games. Unfortunately, forest fire smoke limited outside activities.
