The Tree Tops
Chelsea, Quebec (Ottawa/Gatineau)

The Tree Tops is a house on the edge of Gatineau Park. The main common room is a big space full of comfy couches overlooked by a second common space that houses the Ayatana Moth Observatory. Hammocks hang in the rocky woods that suround the house. Fireflies, squirels and raccoons regularly visit the deck and lawn. The list of birds who frequent the feeders is too long to share here but the many species of woodpeckers are the most persistant. There are 4 bedrooms with one, two or three beds to share between visiting artists.

The Jasmin House
Chelsea, Quebec (Ottawa/Gatineau)

The Jasmin house sits atop a hill over looking the sailing school on the Gatineau River. We have river access from a private dock, hammocks, BBQ pit, wifi, lots of nooks and cranies to
work/play/hide in. There are lots of beds inside the house and two in an out building separated by lawn and flowerbed. Meals are eaten together in the
dinning room or out on the deck. Dinner is time to discus our adventures and eat thoughtfully prepared home cooked meals. The garden is frequently visited by
deer, owls, ground hogs, coyote, skunk, silk moths and a fox.
