4 Bedroom House in Val-des-Monts, Val Des Monts

Friendly Fires Getaway – Signature Collection
Part of the Signature Collection at Lakeside Getaways, Friendly Fires Getaway offers a private, immersive escape on the pristine shores of Grand Lake in Val-des-Monts, Quebec. Friendly Fires Getaway is known for its unique balancing of comfort, style, and natural beauty. This retreat is carefully conceived to help you reconnect with what matters most. Ideal for family reunions, custom-made for intimate gatherings of friends, and always immersing you in a restorative natural retreat where the pace of life slows down. Here you let the soothing beauty of nature take center stage.
The spacious main cottage draws attention immediately. It is surrounded by three distinctive outbuildings: the Teahouse above (a self-contained bedroom/bathroom retreat); at one side the Bunkhouse (a cozy sleeping nook with lake views); on the other the Smokehouse (a screened-in cooking and BBQ pavilion). Each structure is connected by winding pathways. Every building offers sight-lines to the shimmering waters of Grand Lake. Inside the main cottage, floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views. The sun-filled veranda offers the perfect perch for morning coffee or evening brandy and then stargazing.
Friendly Fires Getaway is designed for togetherness. But it also offers intimacy. The layout, inside and out, provides multiple gathering spaces for groups, next to peaceful corners for solitude. Enjoy high-end kitchen appliances, multiple BBQ options, a wood-fired pizza oven, and a campfire-side smoker. Swim, kayak, or fish from the dock, relax in the sauna or 8-person hot tub, and spend evenings by the fire on the lakeside deck. In winter, premier cross-country ski trails and downhill slopes are close at hand. In summer, golf, hiking, biking and Gatineau Park adventures are nearby. Friendly Fires Getaway invites you to slow down, indulge in nature, and create unforgettable memories no matter what the season.

Summary: The buildings are quite comfortable, there is lots of space and areas to sit and read a book or have quiet conversations. As well, the living room and dining areas can accommodate a large group. The kitchen was very well stocked. Several of our group went out for early morning canoe and kayak rides, and loved it! Two drawbacks are: the uneven ground on the property which presented a tripping hazard, and the drive in which is challenging on narrow and mountainous roads. But all in all, I would recommend Friendly Fires to any large group wanting a spacious and interesting cottage. We had a great time!
