Treasure = gorgeous old stone cottage, 1 hour from Montreal, $300 for 2 people for a romantic weekend!

Allo, allo!

Lesson learned, don't wait til 3 weeks before your wedding before booking accommodations! Luckily for us, our dear friend Stewart has a lakeside cottage that we'll be bunking in (willow trees! a dock! sunset on the water! oh my!), however in my frantic scouring of the interwebz, before the cottage was confirmed, I stumbled over a true jewel of a place for those seeking a lovely weekend getaway.

Trovers, it is my pleasure to present The Burnbrae:


Their description: "A Romantic Hideaway in the countryside for you to "come home" to whenever you like. Enjoy that cozy atmosphere of your own old stone farm cottage, with beams, open fires, period furniture, roses, willows and a touch of luxury. A self-catering holiday set in lovely Elgin countryside one hour south-west of Montreal, and just 30 minutes from the Adirondacks."

I can't get over how amazing this place is. LOOK at that two storey living room with the open stairway over the fireplace!

I'd love to invite 4 other friends along for the weekend (the Burnbrae can sleep up to 6 people) and then have 6 more folks along for a nice supper, cooked in the cozy farmhouse kitchen & served in the dining room for 12 (see pics below!).

Sigh. So we won't be staying here for the wedding week, but perhaps in October for a bday getaway?

I'd love to have an evening BBQ on this back porch:
