The Manoir Jackrabbit is located on the famous and prestigious Wheeler street on Lac Ouimet in Tremblant. It is a beautiful street with gorgeous luxurious homes. Lucile Wheeler was instrumental in promoting the sport of skiing and her grandfather George Wheeler built the famous Gray Rocks ski center which is located minutes from the home. You are located between the Golf Le Maitre and La Diable about 5 minutes from the resort village.
I had been referred to the Manoir Jackrabbit through a friend that has rented the home numerous times. They only had fantastic things to say about the owner Yaffa and her husband Jeff who is one of the owners of Sotheby’s real estate in Tremblant. The Jackrabbit is a tutor house that sits on a great property with lake access and fabulous trails directly in their back yard that can be used for hiking, cross country skiing or biking. These trails connect to the Place St. Bernard which has miles of breath taking forested terrain and is the largest cross country ski center in the area.
As you walk into the home you automatically want to unpack your bags and relax in the cozy living room. There are two great wood burning fireplaces and the owners have really added their own personal style. The home is filled with great art and paintings which seems much more personalized than staying in a hotel.
There is a huge modern kitchen with all the necessary appliances that is open to another sitting area with a huge flat screen TV. There is also a formal dining room connected to the kitchen with enough dishes to feed 18 people.
There is a large office space with pull out sofas on the main floor. These sofas have high density mattresses which are much more comfortable than the usual sofa bed. The office has a massive computer screen and full set up which is perfect for those of us who need to stay connected even while on vacation.
All four bedrooms can be found upstairs where you can also find a great library at the top of the staircase. There is nothing like a great book to relax with, but if reading isn’t your thing each bedroom has huge TV’s. You can comfortable sleep 20 people in this home which is really convenient if you are traveling with multiple families and also makes renting it really affordable.
There is a great manicured lawn which sits in the sun all day. You can easily sunbath in the back yard with complete tranquility and privacy. On the patio sits a BBQ, outdoor sitting area and most importantly a huge hot tub spa. You can probably fit 10 people comfortably.
This home has all the necessary ingredients for having a great family vacation. I had a great time here and Yaffa made everything perfect for us. I will be recommending this property to my friends.
We will definitely be coming back.
I feel so much happier now I understand all this. Thanks!
