When it comes to looking for a cottage to stay at, there are a few important factors that I always consider. The first being that the place is affordable and the second is that it's not too far from Montreal — especially if I'm planning on going just for the weekend. Quebec is full of cheap Airbnb cottages within three hours of Montreal that make for the most relaxing and fun vacations, without needing to break the bank.
