Meech Lake peaceful retreat

Welcome to your rustic chic retreat! Awe-inspiring views and serenity will be yours at this Gatineau Park house on Meech Lake in Quebec, Canada; an easy 20 minute drive from downtown Ottawa.

The Space
This private house has two bedrooms, one loft and comfortably fits 5 guests. There are 1 king (Master Bedroom), 1 double (second bedroom) and one queen sofa bed (living room).
There is an ensuite bathroom with shower and bath and one additional half bathroom.
A dream kitchen is fully equipped and has a gas range with 2 ovens.

The surroundings
Located in the middle of the Gatineau Park, right on Meech lake, with a large and gorgeous boat house to chill out and prepare your BBQs.
The house is surrounded by miles of groomed paths for hiking, biking and cross country skiing. Two kayaks are at your disposal to fully enjoy the lake. The gentle slope and weed free beach is great for swimming, even for young kids. It is the best destination for sightseers during the Rhapsody Fall Colour Festival. In the winter, cross country skiers could not be happier here or a quick 5 minute drive will take you to Camp Fortune ski hill.

The Old Chelsea village has its unique and fun ambiance with shops, coffee places and many great restaurants like Les fougères, l’Orée du bois, Mamma Teresa and many more… La Cigale has the best homemade ice cream!
Le Nordic Spa is a must to relax and rejuvenate!
Golf courses and mini-putt are also really close-by; Dunnderosa and Larrimac are among those.

Beautiful home!
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.

Wonderful!
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!!

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

Just Wow!
This was an amazing stay. Much better in person as the pictures don’t do it justice. Nancy does a fantastic job of thinking of the little extras to make your stay feel like home. If I could have given 6 stars, I would have. This lake is pristine and quiet. Best over the water patio and screened in porch on the lake with all the things you would need to stay there all day if you wanted. Stayed 5 nights in June and would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful and exactly as advertised
This is a perfect lake retreat and a wonderful host. The home has everything that you need, and is immaculately clean but also very comfortable to relax, make a fire, put your feet up. Lots of different living spaces for everyone to have their little spot to relax. The only note for people who have limited mobility are the stairs to access the home are not suitable for anyone who isn't fully mobile. I would stay here again without a moment's hesitation.

Quick getaway
This was the perfect place to relax and recharge. A beautiful, comfortable home with every detail considered. Close enough to the city, but a world away. Enjoyed hiking Blanchet trail and the view of the lake from the dock.

Lac Meech
We stayed at this beautiful home a few years back and returned again. Everything was just as nice. Meech Lake is very peaceful, mostly without motor boats and Gatineau is magical. Nancy's place is a wonderful as ever.
