House Tour of Our reFRESH Airbnb

I know you all love a good house tour so I thought I’d share a tour of the amazing Airbnb . First off, I love the name. La Belle Brise. Every Airbnb should have such a lovely name, no?

If you followed along this past weekend on Instagram, you will have seen some bits and pieces from our weekend away on the shores in Grand Etang.  { And if you missed it, check out the highlights 😉 } I invited some fellow bloggers to join me for a getaway weekend to focus on our blogs, relax and deepen our connections.  You can read what I said leading up to the retreat HERE.

Guys, I could’ve moved right in there and stayed forever.  This place was amazingly homey and so very welcoming.  Plus, her favourite colours are red and turquiose….which is obvious as soon as you crest the hill and look down over the inlet and catch that first glimpse of the house.  Oh my red-and-turquoise-loving heart!!!  It was perfection!

Everywhere you looked, there was a little touch of personality – from old weathered buoys, to parts of lobster traps displayed as art to the authentically old farmhouse table with mismatched chairs that graced the kitchen.  The house with full of charm and character but was still modern and functional.

 

 

When I say character, I mean the old house charm! The perfect squeak on the stairs, the chippy red painted second storey floors, doors that swing closed due to years of the house settling into itself, and cozy little rooms tucked under the eaves.  I would love to hear the stories the walls could tell!  When we chatted with our hostess, Paula, she said that it did belong to a fisherman, so I’m sure there would be some pretty great stories!

If you are looking to hit the Cabot Trail this summer, or looking for a cozy spot for a getaway, I highly recommend La Belle Brise.  You can find the Airbnb listing HERE and the FB page HERE.  Not only is the house amazing, Paula was a wonderful hostess, too.  I, of course, had loads of random questions for her and she answered very quickly plus left a note and salted caramels, too!!

I plan on sharing more about our weekend retreat, but as I go through this week, I find myself wishing I was still tucked into that seaside house, puttering around.

Colourfully yours,

Lori

PS Even though we we were gifted our accommadations, my take on it is just that 😉
