About us

Hello!!

Let’s talk about us! We have dreams and we have visions, best of all we want to share them with you! By the way we got married this summer in the beautiful forest of the Hummingbird retreat.

It was in 2001, when Frank first shared his dream with me of building a B&B in the beautiful Eastern Townships of Quebec. His heart fondly remembers his wonderful childhood spend every summer by the lake. He recalled how the lake would mirror the trees to create beautiful reflections on the water. The quiet canoe rides, the breathtaking sunsets but most of all he found peace deep in the forest and he found peace in his heart.

I felt his heart and saw a simpler vision, a place to retreat, to find peace, a space for meditation, for holistic healing work and for massage. I saw a place where people can come and find personal balance with loving support. I saw all those visions about us there and the lovely quietness of the surrounding took my breath away.

Then in 2004, Frank decided to make his dream come true, he kept the existing foundation of the old chalet and added to the foundation to make it larger. By this time, his vision was getting bigger; he wanted the country house to be spacious and comfortable. The living room made of timber frame with a vaulted ceiling of 30 feet high.

Two spacious verandas on the side of the house, balcony in the front and in the back, five spacious rooms and wooden floors throughout the house. It’s a beautiful dream and its all about us.

The dream did not stop there; Frank wanted to utilize the wood he harvests in the forest to supply all his heating needs for the house. In the basement, he had a wood furnace install and hooked up a large water tank which distribute water into tubes for radiant floor heating.

Frank thought it was the ideal way to go. Last year, Frank added on a solar panel to help increase the efficiency of heating system to supplement our hot water requirement and this is only the beginning.

We want to share our vision with you, we want to let everyone know about us. We have a “healing place,” a place to retreat and to regain personal balance. Its quiet and peaceful and its beautiful and we want to share it with you.

We hope you will come and experience this healing place for yourself; come sit on the dock by the lake, take a canoe ride on the lake and watch the sunset. You can find rest on our cozy veranda, or have a peaceful sleep in one of our spacious room, meditated in the forest, explore our hiking trails, take in some healing sessions or an energy massage. Whatever you need to regain a sense of “well being,” you can be sure, we are here for you!!
