Amenities
our home, your stay
Our historic home was one of the first farmsteads in the region, and housed many of the workers during the building of the Abbey St. Benoit-du-Lac. Feel the craft of artisanal post and beam construction, amongst other period features, which have been handsomely preserved and high-lighted. All three bedrooms have their own 3-piece bath, and are well appointed. A fourth common room is present on the second floor with table, sofa and other seating for your comfort. A continental breakfast will be provided for you in the first floor dining room. A sunroom with table, sofa and other seating adjoin the dining room with views to the south and west. Enjoy your morning beverage and breakfast in either room, or if preferred, settle onto the rear porch or in a garden chair with the morning sun. Rise at your time, and feel at home.

Our Property and neighbours
Nestled in the four corners of central Austin, our home is a stone’s throw to the original white boarded church, the grocery corner store -with gas station and post office, and the historic Manson Barn. The finest croissants, viennese pastries and breads are baked fresh at the bakery Les herbes hautes across the street. The abbey St. Benoit-du-Lac, our nearest neighbour to the south, is just a short walk past fields and forest. The abbeys’ bells will mark your day if visiting, or as you relax in our gardens.

The horizon provides some of the most spectacular sunsets in the region.
