Addendum
| PEACE AND PRIVACY IN A HERITAGE SETTING |
| Take yourself away to Lac Hughes, a Gatineau paradise |
| that's just a one-hour drive from Ottawa. Relax in a |
| 150-year-old authentic heritage square-timber cottage |
| nestled on the only private land on the lake. |
| Imagine... your only neighbours are ancient White Pines, |
| Red Oaks and granite cliffs. When you close the gate, you |
| leave behind all your cares in the world. |
| The cottage, which faces west, overlooks the beautiful |
| mountain lake. You can hike around Lac Hughes at your |
| leisure or walk the old logging trails that meander through |
| the 160 acres of mature forest that surround the cottage. |
| Or you may choose to simply recline in an Adirondack chair, |
| lose yourself in a favourite book and enjoy the sunset on |
| the deck and docks that lead to the water's edge. |
| For those who are adventuresome, you can stroll over to |
| neighbouring Lac St. Charles where there is a dock and a |
| canoe reserved for Lac Hughes guests. While you are there |
| exploring, you know it's a short walk back to the privacy |
| of Lac Hughes where you can swim alone, then warm yourself |
| by a campfire. |

| 173 Chemin des Alpes, Denholm, Quebec |
| Inside, you will find a classic kitchen with granite |
| counters. French doors lead you from the kitchen into a |
| comfortable sunroom/dining room with views of Lac Hughes. A |
| few steps more and you are in the large screened porch |
| where you can barbecue your favourite grillables. |
| Downstairs you will also find a traditional bedroom and a |
| bathroom with a shower. Upstairs are two more bedrooms with |
| period furnishings. Both have cathedral ceilings and views |
| of the lake through large dormer windows. There is a shared |
| bath between the two bedrooms featuring a restored clawfoot |
| tub. |
| Everywhere you go in the cottage, you are carried back to |
| another time by antiques, hand-hewn logs, exposed wooden |
| rafters and ceilings, and the patina of history. Lighting |
| is provided by candles, propane lamps and portable reading |
| lights. And because there is no electricity, cooking and |
| refrigeration are done using propane appliances. |
| This is what to expect during your time at Lac Hughes... a |
| heritage experience with a few modern comforts. We like to |
| say at Lac Hughes, you go back to go forward. You step back |
| to a place of tranquility to move forward in a more relaxed |
| and peaceful state of mind. |
