This residence is a historical footprint as the first part of the house was constructed around the year 1871 and was later owned by the Mackenzie family which turned a 500-square-foot home into a much larger residence when they bought it in 1930 from the Charrette family. 
 
The Mackenzie family made this their summer home until 1966. In 1970 Gerard Lafortune took over Montevilla and turned it into a hostel and holiday resort, and made the necessary changes to this residence to fit his needs of creating a tourist spot. His relationship with Montevilla ends in 2008 when we decided to purchase this residence in the hopes of conserving this splendid historical place for our own personal use. 
 
Our residence is exceptional for family and friends since it is not only just a home but a place that offers joy and happiness that must be shared with others. This house brings out joy and pleasure which is exactly what it was built for!
