Huis met tuin in Boucherville, Canada - bij Benoit

We have a 2 story house in a green neighborhood 15 minutes from downtwon Montreal. It features central AC, a fireplace and a large fenced yard. Your kids will enjoy the large garden while you grill something on the Kamado BBQ. We live within short walking distance of two municipal pools. In summer, there are raspberries, herbs and tomatoes to be picked in the garden. In winter, we live across the street from a grocery store, so not that complicated to get supplies and a bottle of wine to enjoy by the fireplace even in a snowstorm. The master bedroom has a Queen bed. Both kids room have double beds and are well furnished with books and games (9 - 15 years old approx). There is one bathroom next to the bedrooms and another bathroom downstairs. We have two cats that spend most of their time sleeping inside or patrolling outside. We have an automatic feeder and water dispenser, we'd appreciate if you could make sure it's not empty (and maybe an extra cat treat or a pet once in a while). My family lives nearby and can help out if you have issues with the house, cats or car. They can also take care of the cats if you decided to go and explore around for 2 nights or more.

Boucherville is one of the first cities founded in the province of Quebec and has been a retreat for Montrealers for many years. You can find the best bakery in the province, great locally grown strawberries, corn on the cob and a couple of surprising restaurants a bike ride away. If you prefer walking, there are two pizza places and a Subway sandwich shop nearby. Three interesting nature parks can be found in the area: The islands of Boucherville, a small park accessible by boat (10$ round-trip, around 8 minutes for the ride) 500 meters from the house is best visited by bicycle and makes for a relaxing outing close to the house (the kids will enjoy the first nations long house, canoe and kayak rentals are available). You need to buy a permit online if you wish to do some fishing. The Mont Saint Bruno is great for casual hikers and the Fort Chambly for fans of historical sites. There is a couple of football fields across Rivière-aux-Pins for your older kids and fenced tennis courts nearby. If you have toddlers, there are two playgrounds you can walk to, a park with water jets to cool off, a free kiddie pool with surveillance or you can just enjoy some ice-cream on the shore of the Saint-Lawrence, in front of the old church and Boucherville Marina. There are two golf courses in town and one paddock for horse ridding. If the kids are getting tired, the library is almost next door and features a great section for them, with books in english and french, puppet theater, storytelling events and a teen section with couches and videogames. Short river cruises for romantic dinners or watching the fireworks festival are available here : http://www.navark.ca/cruises.htm. If you want something longer, it's possible to go to Quebec city by boat. There are a lot of inexpensive short travel options in the area. New York is 45 minutes away by plane. Cuba is 4 hours away by plane. Quebec city is 2 hours away by car. We can lend you our car if you stay within the province of Quebec with it. If you wish to visit Montreal, it's better to go with public transport, avoiding trafic and the scarcity of parkings. From metro Longueuil, it's a 10 minute ride to downtown Montreal. Another option is to try the new scenic REM from Brossard, close to the Montreal Canadian's training center. It has free parking and will bring you downtown in a flash.
