Beyond the old stone threshold, rooms open one by one: lamplight, books, colour gathered over time. Let a chapter wait on the table. Let the evening take its time. This is a Belleville stay made for lingering.
Before it became a place to stay, it was a place of stories.
After the rooms have had their say, another thread begins to appear: the literary connection to Susanna Moodie and Belleville’s past. It is a story to discover in its own time.
Some houses are simply slept in. Others stay with you.
Take the long way along the river. Find a table worth lingering over. Let Belleville set the pace for the afternoon; then return to the hush and lamplight of the house.
Tell us when you’re dreaming of a visit. We’ll help you find the room that feels like it has been waiting for you.
City approval pendingEven a house from the 1840s has to wait for paperwork. Stays will begin once City approval is in place; enquiries are welcome in the meantime.

The study today
A home with a literary past
More than a footnote.
The Moodie House carries a literary connection to writer Susanna Moodie and the history of Belleville. The story adds another layer to a stay here; it cannot tell the whole story of everyone who has cared for this house.
That connection gives the rooms another dimension. Yet the house remains a home: full of colour, books, art and the small, unexpected details that make a place personal.
Julie is preparing the house for a new chapter of intimate, characterful stays, with its history woven into the rooms rather than set apart from them.
A house to experience. A story to take with you.
