Anastasia’s Domain 2, Farm stay, off grid cabin in a beautiful forest!
10/10 Excellent
"This is a very unique stay so it can't really be judged against others.It was a bit unclear what to do upon arrival.There are so many well thought out details or would be impossible to list them all.A perfect place to stay for people who like to be away from it all."
"The property was beautiful and immaculate. Great location near the St. Lawrence and very, very peaceful. Locals are super friendly. Host was responsive and accommodating. No complaints about the property itself. Fair warning for any families looking for things to do: you better bring (or rent) a boat! Otherwise you should think of this as a retreat where you simply go to wind down and relax. NOTE: this property did have 2 life jackets. When we first booked the place, the description said there weren't any. This chalet woukd have been even better if there were enough kayaks for each guest, so we can go on adventures as a family. Overall, though, it was a great place about 1.5 hours from Montreal, which was heavily dependent on traffic."

"We all had an amazing stay at this cottage!! Check-in was a breeze, and our host, Francis, was exceptional. He loaded us and all of our belongings onto his pontoon, took us over to the island, and showed us around while explaining how everything worked. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it feel just like home - nothing was lacking. The WiFi was impressive and reliable, which was a huge plus when I needed to work on my laptop.We can't say enough good things about his little piece of paradise. Thank you so much, Francis and Lannie! You truly are wonderful people and we can't wait to be back! :O)"
"This is an amazing and beautiful waterfront home that exceeded every expectation. Whether you’re craving adventure or total relaxation, this place has it all. For thrill-seekers, there’s kite surfing, wake boarding, bouldering, trap shooting, helicopter tours and more. For those looking to slow down, you can enjoy paddle boarding, yoga, dinner at a local micro farm, sunsets over the water, and family time around the built-in fire pit. The host has connections to highly rated local restaurants and is more than happy to help with booking dinner reservations. The property is landscaped with beautiful trees and plants, and the expansive backyard leads out to your private waterfront. The outdoor patio, family room, and kitchen have gorgeous views of the water, and the kitchen is equipped with gourmet appliances. We also loved the top of the line Nespresso machine, Vitamix, and soda stream. The property comes fully stocked with water sports gear, so you’ll have everything you need for a day on the water. In the evenings, you can watch a movie in the cinema room on a theater sized projector screen with Sonos surround sound acoustics. The sofa-bed provides extra space for guests. We have traveled extensively over the years, and this is, without question, the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had. The host, Sam, was generous, welcoming, and attentive. He helped us plan a customized and unforgettable family vacation. We are already planning our return! Highly, highly recommend!!"
"Beautiful setting. The kids loved the playground, horses, goat, dogs, chickens and bunnies - they were all friendly and the kids got to feed them! Would come back again in a heartbeat!"
