Families sometimes avoid smaller towns or villages when planning a vacation for fear of boredom, but Montebello defies that logic. Less than two hours from Montreal, this resort town on the Ottawa River is packed full of exciting kid-friendly activities like Land Rover driving experiences, cross-country skiing and kayaking. Montebello is best known as the home of Chateau Montebello, the largest log structure ever built. Now operating as a Fairmont property, it is the go-to place to stay for kid-friendly fun and chalet-style ambiance.
