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.

You will find everything you need for a getaway or remote work, here are some highlights:
- high-speed internet 120Mbps
- smart TV with Netflix app
- fully equipped kitchen and basic cooking supplies
- coffee
- dedicated office space
- indoor wood burning fireplace
- veranda
- BBQ (only available between May and October)

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.

Welcoming, comfortable home
Our family of 5 (parents + 3 teens/young adults) enjoyed our stay. The hosts had many thoughtful touches that helped to make our stay comfortable and cozy. The house was immaculately clean. There are laundry facilities and a dishwasher, which are great for a family, especially. One house rule that wasn't mentioned on the listing was that there are no shoes allowed in the house. With the age of the home, many of the floors are uneven/slanted, and all are hardwood or painted wood, which means they can be slippery -- so guests may want to bring a pair of indoor slippers as a matter of comfort and safety. The house is situated very close to the main road and its considerable traffic. Fortunately, the home is air-conditioned, which meant we were quite comfortable inside with the windows closed. Traffic did quiet down at night. The location is very close to the bike trail and within walking distance of a grocery store, as well. The hosts were very considerate, going out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. We had a great week.

Cozy Stay at Cozy Grey Rabbit
The Cozy Grey Rabbit is an historic home with a lot of character. We loved all the windows that face every direction and allow light to come in at different times of the day. It is very clean and well equipped. The owners have provided clear instructions, handy tips around the house and helpful recommendations. The shower is great. It is a super location from which to explore the Eastern Townships - nothing is too far away. The road in front of the home is busy, but the owners inform clients of that in advance. The wifi is strong and reliable. Guillaume and Juliette are excellent communicators who are ready to meet any need and anxious for guests to enjoy their stay - which we did indeed.
