Hilltop Chalet with Stunning Forest Views Between Historic Westport and Perth

Welcome to Longview and discover stunning forest views and an oasis on 88 private acres of wilderness parkland. A custom built chalet complete with all the amenities including a Scandinavian box bed, rolltop cast iron tub, library loft, fireplace and a huge deck perched over the forest Longview is a truly unique experience and getaway located in the UNESCO Frontenac Arch Biosphere and the UNESCO Heritage site of the Rideau Canal System. Ski, snowshoe, hike or horse time and never leave the property. Longview invites you to unwind, regenerate and unplug. Naturally.

Longview is located on the 88 acre property of Le Temps Perdu, belonging to Hermann and Tracey, situated in the varied landscape of the Canadian Shield. The 500 square foot custom designed chalet was specifically created as a vacation destination.

A compact and complete kitchen, with marble countertops and a full sized range with full sized oven and fridge make preparing your meals a delight. Copper and cast iron pans, large and small pots, out door electric BBQ and tools, utensils ( large and small), food processor, hand blender, 4 slice bagel toaster, kettle, cheese grater, large copper strainer, glass pie plate, baking sheet, tea towel, pot scrubber and dish cloth are all on hand. Please refer to the list of amenities in the photo section of this site to discover all that is available.

The main living space is spacious and comfortable with 2 wingback chairs. There is plenty of space for yoga inside or on the deck. Or just lounge in the Scandinavian boxbed, much more generous than any sofa, (no ladder required) with views over the treetops or cozy view to the fireplace.

The Wi-Fi is excellent. There is a dedicated work space for remote working. Please refer to our long stay term discounts.

EV charging is available in Westport or Perth.

The loft is furnished with 2 MCM designer low slung rocking chairs: Perfect for gaming or watching movies on the 37" screen. Also, in the loft, a collection of retro DVD's and player. The eclectically stocked library offers an cozy alternative, and the retro CD/radio player has excellent sound...bring your CDs if you have them:) Please bring your laptop if you intend to access your streaming platforms. We have provided the HDMI cable.

The full bath is located within the chalet. With vaulted ceilings, a roll top cast iron tub with Victorian fixtures and a beautiful view from the tub to the forests below. Towels, bubble bath and other extras are included. Please refer to the amenities list.

From the 26' x 10' wrap around cantilevered deck the views are spectacular. Not a man made structure to be seen in any direction. Nature at its purest! Enjoy meals outside. Provided is an electric BBQ or just catch the rays from the deck chairs. It is perfection.

The lawns surrounding the chalet are maintained where you will find a hammock and fire place. Firewood is free and abundant.

Our 3 white horses have free range of the property and commonly graze on the surrounding land. An evening view of Collette, Mika and Jude is unforgettable.

In the winter months snowshoes are provided and during the spring summer and fall organized canoe trips or day hikes are available upon request for a fee. Hermann is a certified canoe instructor and knows many of the local places to explore for spectacular outdoor experiences.
Canoe rental, $45/day, is available through the generosity of a neighbour using their private boat launch on a near by lake. They ask that the parking instructions be carefully followed. We will provide them once the canoe rental is confirmed. Please bring your own beach towels. This access is for canoe rentals only. Please give us a day's notice so that we may arrange things accordingly. Swimming at the launch is not permitted. There is a great sandy beach, with volleyball an and washroom facilities at the Lion's club Beach on Sand Lake in Westport.

Le Temps Perdu has invited a local bee keeper, owner and operator of Miel des Fleurs, to begin an apiary on the property. Watching the bees start their day in the early morning is a treat. Not to mention the honey! Please inquire as to honey availability.

We invite our guests to explore the 88 acre property of Le Temps Perdu. There is a map provided in the guest book leading to the various destinations on the property. The horses are 1.5 kilometers from Longview at the far side of the property...but you may catch a glimpse of them grazing close by in the warmer months. The trails and destination areas are marked and have place names posted to help you find your way around.

Relax and enjoy the 88 acres of pristine nature. Hiking, and cozy evenings by the fire are all accessible on site. Free wifi enables a work from home environment. Come to the countryside in the Canadian Sheild...Just bring food and belongings, we have the rest! We lovingly operate our accommodations at Le Temps Perdu as a place to be considered as an oasis and an experience based on simpler times. We put nature first ,and all those who thrive in it, and foremost!
