However, it meets all the demands someone might have of a chalet, but it also comes with the benefit of staying in a piece of Quebec & Canadian history: Built in 1802 by a lumber baron and once the home to by the 7th Prime Minister of Quebec ('before Quebec entered into Canada’s Confederation,' the host notes) John Jones Ross, it's now a well-preserved house on one acre of waterfront land. There aren't the usual trappins of a chalet like a hot tub or fireplace, but it's exceedingly unique and perfect for groups.
