maison melba
location: frelighsburg - qc
a warm and luminous home designed for slow living
tucked away in the village of frelighsburg, just under 90 minutes from montreal, maison melba is a thoughtfully designed space for rest, gathering, and creativity. originally a 1970s garage, the home has been carefully transformed into a calming retreat with natural textures, soft lines, and a layout that supports an intentionally slower pace. adjacent to a working orchard, the setting invites connection to the rhythms of the land — without ever feeling prescriptive.

a space to reset, create, and come together
maison melba offers comfort and quiet inspiration. the main house features an open kitchen, living area, and three restful bedrooms. through a glass corridor, you’ll find a bright culinary studio (booked separately) — available for guests who want to host, cook, or work, though just as easy to ignore entirely. the experience is flexible and self-guided.
the design is minimal yet warm, with soft light, natural wood, curated objects, and an easy connection between indoors and out.
melba was created to support rest and reconnection — to self, to others, and to place. the curation lives in the way the space is arranged, the calm it creates, and the tools it offers for slowing down. some guests book workshops or cook together. others unplug completely. there is no right way to stay here — just space to choose how you want to feel.
