Description of the home we are offering for exchange
Superb log home located in the small community of Tewkesbury, 25 km north of Quebec City UNESCO World Heritage City. The house, traditional style, has 3 bedrooms in which it is possible for 5 people to sleep comfortably. In the winter, the central woodstove provides warmth and a pleasant atmosphere. Surrounded by a large wooded lot, it is possible to take full advantage of the outside during summer or winter: site for campfire, walk in the forest, snowshoe hike, creek and charming waterfall to refresh during the hot summer days.
Overlooking the Jacques-Cartier Valley, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the river and the surrounding mountains. 10 minutes from the village of Stoneham and services (grocery store, public market in summer, pharmacy and restaurants), it is also possible to visit the historic district of Quebec City within a 25 minutes drive and, in about fifteen minutes: Wendake (Huron village), the Stoneham ski center or the historic Trait-Carré district. The snow or water (winter or summer) park Village Valcartier and the Bora Parc (largest indoor aquatic center in North America) are only half an hour from our house.
Several outdoor activities are available nearby: hiking and camping in the Jacques-Cartier Provincial Park, rafting, sliding, horseback riding, downhill or hiking, golf, dog sledding.
