About this property

Ancestral house dating from the early 18th century, fully restored to offer modern comfort to lovers of history and ancient charm. Located on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River, this magnificent mansion combines the calm and sweetness of life in the countryside with the proximity of the urban services of the City of Lévis and quick access to Old Quebec by ferry Quebec-Lévis

Legend has it that this house was the last home of Marie-Josephte Corriveau, better known as "La Corriveau". Originally located in the village of St-Vallier, moved to St-Michel de Bellechasse in 1763, the house was moved back to Beaumont in 1967 to be saved from destruction by a Quebec heritage enthusiast.

It is possible to sleep 6 travelers in 3 bedrooms, 1 in the basement and 2 upstairs. The master bedroom upstairs and the bedroom in the basement each have a private bathroom. Air conditioning units on first and second floor. Staircases leading to the first floor are steep and not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Propane gas fireplace in the basement. Outdoor terraces overlooking Orleans Island (3 seasons).

A land of 23,000 square feet will allow you to enjoy the beautiful days relaxing in the hammocks. Parking for 6 cars is available. Guests can also take a short hike to the public beach, less than 10 minutes' walk away

The house is located in Beaumont, one of the oldest municipalities in Canada. The old houses in the heart of the village, the majestic church, hiking on the beaches along the river and the view of the island of Orleans will charm you for sure.

At 5 minutes from the house you will find a gas station, a small food market and a butcher shop. You will have access to the skating rink and the public swimming pool as well as to the children's play modules located at Parc Vincennes.

A 5-10 minutes walk will allow you to access a public beach (Access via Parc Louis Turgeon)

The parking of the ferry Quebec-Lévis is 15 minutes from the house. You can cross with your vehicle or park it in the public spaces of the river station and cross on foot to Old Quebec.

Charming Historical Cottage

This was our first trip to Quebec. It was a wonderful introduction to local history and culture. We loved staying in Beaumont…such a charming village. We visited Quebec City and were immediately impressed with the charm, history and friendliness. We also visited the île d’Orléans and felt like we stepped back in time. It was absolutely beautiful. Catherine & Richard are top notch hosts. They sent us information about places to visit, transportation, and restaurant suggestions. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!

Cosy home filled with antiques

Had a wonderful stay in this house, it's a beautiful property filled with everything you could possibly need. Modern appliances in an old wooden 17th(?) century home, right by the St Lawrence River. I highly recommend!

Exceptional property

We were truly amazed by the contrast between old and new within the same space. The bones of the house are evidently hundreds of years old, so it was a visit back in time. But the kitchen, bathrooms and heating were all modern and impeccably maintained. This house is cleaned meticulously. Likewise the grounds are beautifully manicured. We had a great stay, and would live to return. Catherine was an outstanding host, answerd all questions promptly with open arms..

Clean and well equipped property in the Beaumont area. An appropriate level of modernization without spoiling the historic feel of the house. It was very convenient to visit Quebec City via the Levis ferry. We recommend this this property.

Why they chose this property

Richard and I bought this ancestral house in 2012 because we fell in love with it. She needed major renovations. We worked evenings and weekends to renovate it respecting the rules of Quebec heritage art. We also moved a barn dating back to the time of the house and reassembled and completed it to harmonize with the house. We are very proud of the result and hope now to benefit other travelers
