| Lindseys Bed and Breakfast |
Location: 3974 Avenue Laval, Montreal, Canada
Opened: 1984
Closed: 2010
The Lindseys website announces the sad news of her departure:
After 26 years, we have closed our doors. Many thanks to all our guests for making our business such a pleasure.
We will miss meeting so many warm and interesting women from all over the world. We are leaving up our web site for the time being if any of you wish to contact us.
So what was Lindseys? Here's the basic description:
Lesbian-owned bed and breakfast in a restored Victorian brownstone in the heart of the "Plateau" restaurant district. Three guest rooms, for women only.
According to the website, Lindseys was run by two women: Lindsey and Augusta. Judging by the mouth-watering photos, the breakfasts were totally scrumptious. And what a gorgeous home! The website also has an area where various newspaper articles about the history of the place are scanned in, if you want more detail. Like, just how does a classically trained bass player end up becoming a B&B operator anyway? But I'm going to let you look up the answer yourself.

| The "Victorian Bathroom" at Lindseys |
Here's what gay pink pages had to say:
Lindsey's Bed and Breakfast offers a warm, friendly atmosphere for women traveling to Montréal. We're located in an 1887 renovated Victorian townhouse on a quiet residential street. Within a few blocks you'll find cafes, restaurants and terrific shopping on rue St. Dennis and Boulevard St. Laurent. There is also lots of nightlife nearby. Choose from private studio with bath and kitchenette or from one or two upstairs bedrooms that share a Victorian bathroom.

Why Lindseys closed is not really not explained. We only know that this womyn's space is no longer with us.
Very sad right now, as this would have been a lovely place to visit some day...
Awesome read and it's nice to get some perspective from someone with experience.

So sad. I'm just planning my long awaited trip to Montreal this summer and have been planning on staying here for years! This is why you shouldn't wait, I suppose.
