Outstanding Property
We were 2 parents, 3 children and spouses and 4 grandchildren ages 4 to 7 - a total of 12 people! And the property was absolutely outstanding for our weekend stay. The house is SO spacious, and the amenities are tremendous - beautiful deck with view of the Ottawa River and forests, hot tub, and a gorgeous outside patio that looks like a castle. Absolutely everything you need is in the house - we only needed to bring our clothes. And Jennifer and Greg were the ultimate hosts, doing everything they could to accommodate our needs, including early check-in. Thank you to both of you!

Fantastic views comfortable space
We enjoyed our stay at Far Horizons. The younger kids used the hot tub like a pool. Lots of space for our group. 4th "bedroom " is in the basement so we didn't use it. The "loft" is a finished attic which also wasn't practical for families with kids but we didn't need it at all. Deck was awesome and the view was incredible.

We had a fantastic weekend away at Far Horizons! It is a beautiful home that was cozy, but had tons of room for everyone in our group. We loved the hot tub and of course the view was incredible!

Not very clean
After reading the reviews and contacting the owners a few times with questions and concerns before our stay I was confident that this property would meet my expectations. Unfortunately we were very disappointed when we arrived there. The place did not look very clean. It was dusty and there were dead ants and ladybugs everywhere. The kitchen was the most disappointing of all. The cupboards and drawers, especially the one with the cutlery were filthy. The fridge was also not cleaned after the last renters. We were a party of twelve and 5 of the sleeping accommodations were in the basement, in a small room, that was as cold as a cold room. The bedsheets on those beds were not clean. The rest of the basement was cold and looked more à like a garage/storage place than a basement. As nobody wanted to sleep there we took our inflatable mattresses to put in the rooms upstairs but failed to find extra linens to put on our beds. My husband wanted to sleep on the daybed where the bunk beds were and the windowsill was full of dead ladybugs. There were carpets everywhere, some of which hadn’t been vacuumed in a while. The ones in the sun room looked particularly dirty so I folded them up to put them behind the couch. As I did that dead bugs fell from the carpets onto the floor. I found the vacuum cleaner to pick the bugs up and what I found was a vacuum cleaner so dirty it didn’t suck anything at all. The brush was completely blocked with dirt. It is a shame because it’s a beautiful, spacious home that I would have enjoyed staying at if it were better kept and cleaner.

Spacious and well appointed retreat with a wonderful view.

Some really nice amenities in the area including Park Omega, an artisan chocolate shop, wonderful dining restaurants and a specialty cheese vender. No disappointments here.

Heritage style Quebec hillside home
Our family gathered for American thanksgiving in this lovely home that easily accommodated 6 adults (and our Sheltie). The home has wonderful views of the Ottawa river, from a vantage point just above the historic Montebello hotel on the hill. We were there in November, with the main focus of connecting with family members, and the large kitchen made Turkey preparation easy. We spent most of our time in the kitchen or the living room in front of the gas fireplace. I would describer the decor as eclectic, with the underlying warmth of a country home. Was the perfect spot for our long weekend.

Beautiful, clean and well stocked cottage
This is a wonderful cottage. We were 4 couples and there was lots of room. If you are looking for a place to relaxe, sit back to read a book with a great view, relax in a hot tub, make great meals and entertain, this is the place for you. The kitchen has EVERYTHING. We've never seen a cottage kitchen so well stocked. It has everything you need to make meals as well as everything needed to serve. Large table that sits up to 12 people easily. Living room has lots of space to lounge and a few comfortable chairs to sit back in while enjoying the view of the valley. Bed mattress are top quality. Very comfortable, clean and has everything you need to stay warm at night. Washrooms were clean and had everything needed. There are hundreds of movies, books and games to keep you busy. We have no complaints and will come back again. Loved it.

Far from luxurious - not what we expected
There is a lot of positive that can be taken away from our experience with this property. The owners were good communicators, helpful and simply lovely to deal with. The location is breathtaking and the indoor living space was exactly what we needed maybe even more than we needed (except for the lack of useable beds). The property may have been considered luxuriously years ago but it’s age and lack of maintenance left much to be desired. Cracks in the large picture frame window obstructed a beautiful view. The house was INFESTED with ladybugs and over run with personal stuff, chatchkas and countless items that needed dusting. The house was not clean, not well lit. The bed blankets had dog hair. The home was missing cooking oil (which seems strange as it had vinegar and spices) and the drawers were stacked with unnecessary things making it messy and disorganized. I would not recommend this home until it gets serious attention and cleaning. The basement bedroom is not a usable bedroom for kids and the ladder was broken on bunk beds (so we lacked a bed for a child). Sorry, we wanted to love it because were read such rave reviews...!

Amazing beyond expectations!
This place was incredible and a perfect place to have a gathering. We were 10 adults and never tripped over eachother. The house is FULLY equipped with everything you could ever need! And the owners are just as fabulous as the property - always available and quick to respond to any little question. Our gang has decided to make Far Horizons our go-to destination for our ladies getaways. I can't think of a single negative thing to day about my experience from the intial contact to after...by far the best VRBO experience I've ever had. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your slice of paradise.

Perfect getaway with family and friends
My family and I decided to celebrate my eldest daughter's 5th birthday at Far Horizons. It was the perfect location and met all of our expectations. Not only was there ample room for all my family members, but it was also the perfect place to relax once everyone was asleep. Minutes from the Château Montebello, we were able to take advantage of Winter's last few inches of snow (dog sledding, outdoor skating, cross-country skiing).

Great place for a weekend away
We had a great weekend at Far Horizons - the house easily absorbed our two families and is very well equipped; the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We went snow shoeing and cross-country skiing; the ski trail is just down the road. The hot tub is a wonderful place to relax and the sunrises over the river are beautiful. We hope to come again!

Loved staying at Far Horizons for the CSM
Ten adults, all rowers, stayed at Far Horizons for the Canadian Ski Marathon weekend, February 19-22. Although the skiing wasn't great, we had a wonderful time at Far Horizons. The house was set up perfectly for us -- we needed only one extra bed, and Jennifer and Greg set up an airbed in the bunk room upstairs. Since every meal was potluck, we needed a fully equipped kitchen -- and Far Horizons had everything -- literally, everything we could possibly need. The house was clean and comfortable. Best of all, Jennifer and Greg were terrific about communicating and accommodating our needs -- terrific customer service. We would highly recommend Far Horizons to our friends.

This older charming property, build on a cliff overlooking the Ottawa river is a great setting.
This older charming property, build on a cliff overlooking the Ottawa river was a great setting for our family holiday. With windows all around, the view is truly beautiful. The space is homey and comfortable, with spaces for groups but also for some quiet private times. The rooms were spacious, well furnished and the kitchen very well equipped. There were many games and activities to do nearby, in particular Parc Omega. THe village has a wonderful chocolate shop and an excellent cheese shop.

Wow !
Une vue imprenable sur Montebello. Chalet confortable, décorée avec gout. Bien équipé, il ne manque de rien. Par contre, nous n'avions pas reçu le bon code d'acces pour la porte d'entrée. Nous avons dû attendre une (1) heure au froid avant de pouvoir entrer. En hiver il y aurait dû avoir quelqu'un pour s'occuper du déneigement du stationnement et des escaliers. Ce serait à corriger

Response from VrboOwner on 11 Sept 2023
Bien que nous apprécions la frustration, le client a reçu le bon code de porte mais l'a saisi de manière incorrecte trop de fois (le processus était différent de celui qui lui était familier, d'après ce que nous comprenons) et avait besoin de temps pour se réinitialiser - nous leur avons donc donné un autre code qui était également programmé dans le système (nous en avons toujours deux pour cette raison). Toutes les zones de neige ont été déneigées à l'arrivée des clients (jour de) - le week-end, nous avons reçu une énorme tempête de neige (bombe), un système très inhabituel qui a rendu le retrait difficile. Nous laissons des pelles et une souffleuse à neige aux clients afin qu'ils puissent enlever la neige eux-mêmes si nous ne pouvons pas suivre. Le client n'a pas appelé concernant des préoccupations concernant la neige.
