Century Charm

It's true, this house shakes and rattles briefly on the occasion of big trucks rumbling by, but it's quiet at night and it's more than made up for by the quality of the rooms and amenities.We had everything we needed and more for our stay and the outfitting of the kitchen was first rate.

Comfortable and easy

We had an amazingly lovely time in this beautiful old house. It has just the right amount of modern conveniences to make it comfy while the ambience is all there. There's a Japanese vibe in the bathroom with a soaking tub set on polished stones.

Maison d’été familiales

Nous avons passés un très bon séjour familial. L’hôte est disponible a répondre rapidement a nos questions. Nous avons trouvé la maison très vieille, le planché crac de partout, tous les portes grinces et ne ferme pas complètement. Manque un peut de commodité ex: papier d’aluminium ou bien sac de compost. La maison est très proche de la rue, quand on prend la chambre du bord de rue, les camion qui passe fait vibrer la maison. Par contre les lits très confortable. Nous avons quand même apprécié notre séjour.

Charming and comfortable older home

We loved our stay at this place. It was spacious and clean. New appliances, large kitchen, comfortable beds, antiques, excellent Heating and Cooling. The location is busy but close to town and the highway. We were able to walk to the store, restaurants, shops. Everything was as described. I would definitely return in the future.

Great fishing trip to Lake Massawippi

We headed back to Massawippi this year for our annual fishing trip and stumbled upon the grey Rabbit house as a place to stay. The place was amazing and with three bedrooms allowed us to invite our wives for the one night we stayed. The house is older which added to its charm and we had a great time. Proximity to Ayer's cliff restaurants and a grocery store was great as well as being near the lake. We want to thank Guillaume for being on site and helping us get settled. Great place and we will be back Ron

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.
