If you're not quite ready for summer to end, you can get in the mood for fall with a weekend escape to this Victorian mansion just 90 minutes from Montreal. The Stanstead property, dubbed "Witch Bay Castle" due to its iconic weather vane, boasts six bedrooms spread across four floors, a private hot tub, tennis courts, a gaming room, and a piano, among other amenities. The home sits on expansive grounds that offer a perfect view of the season change. Or you can hole up inside the all-wood interior and enjoy its stained glass windows, four fireplaces, and vintage decor.
As summer's hot and humid days reluctantly give way to cooler evenings, the inevitable summer scaries might start creeping in (OK, we know we've still got a month of summer left but it will be crunchy leaf season in no time). Now, what better way to kick off the end of the summer season than a weekend away with the crew, that special someone, or heck, even yourself if a solo trip is what you're looking for? Luckily, loads of stunning chalets for rent near Montreal will accomplish that summer farewell without breaking the bank.

Airbnb has committed to removing all listings from its site that don't comply with Quebec law. The announcement comes after a deadly fire in an Old Montreal building that officials suspect had illegal Airbnbs. That news led to widespread outcry and calls from officials at the municipal and provincial levels for a crackdown on the short-term rental platform.
