About this property

CITQ: 307194
Thanks for considering staying at The Grey Rabbit House. We hope you will stay with us and love it here! It is a rustic yet cozy and spacious home at the heart of the Eastern Townships: 20mn from Orford ski trails, 5mn from Massawippi Lake, 15mn from Magog, 20mn from USA, 1h30 from Montreal, perfectly set up to enjoy the quaint town of Ayer's Cliff and to explore the region. If you are working remotely and are dying for a change of scenery, we get it! You will find what you crave here. We are also bike friendly!

The Grey Rabbit House is one of our two charming homes in Ayer's Barn, originally built in 1903. It has kept all of its historical charm and has had many renovations and design improvements over the years (others to come!), with plenty of architectural cachet with high ceilings and pine wood floors. The roomy and cozy space, the rustic décor and our zen garden will offer you the perfect getaway!

The home is at the center of the Ayer’s Cliff Village and the main street is about 40 feet away. It is within walking distance to many amenities, grocery store, farmer’s market in the summer, butcher shop, SAQ, coffee and restaurants. You might sometimes hear big heavy trucks passing by during the day and feel a slight vibration to the home, it is usually quiet after dark.

There are attractions nearby all year round: Massawippi Lake, Parc de la Gorge de Coaticook, Foresta Lumina, Mont Orford National Park, Magog, Tomifobia Nature Trail and so much more! Or if you are just looking for a relaxing day, spend some time at Ayer’s Cliff’s lake shore or at the Spa Nordic Station.

Lovely getaway

This was a charming home, lovely decorations, very clean, and minimalist. The communication with the hosts was excellent! As mentioned in the description of the rental, the street can be a little noisy and busy, so if you're looking for nature and escaping the city, this may not be for you. Although, Ayer's Cliff is a little town with few shops, so it makes it feel like you're a bit more isolated than you would be in the city, and we enjoyed that. Note: the indoor fireplace can make the house very smokey, even when the flu is open, so pack some eye drops. Definitely a beautiful place to stay and lovely towns to explore 20 minutes away by car. We were very satisfied with our long weekend escapade. Thank you.

Très belle maison avec cachet exceptionnel. Cuisine super bien équipée, tout est disponible pour rendre le séjour agréable. Le seul inconvénient est la proximité avec la route, ce qui peut entrainer du bruit tôt le matin. Les hotes sont très gentils et bien accueillants.
