I stayed here overnight with 2 friends and we all wished that we could have stayed forever!
A simple and classic Quebecois style chalet that has been renovated beautifully inside, this homey b&b has 6 double rooms to rent and is run by two super welcoming guys named Jean-Charles and Daniel. They are located in the lovely little village of St.Adolphe d'Howard, which is a refreshingly non-commercial hold-out in the fun park that is the Laurentians nowadays. The b&b is directly on Lac St. Joseph with a small, private beach. They have pedalos (pedal boats) and kayaks that you can take out on the lake, which is wonderful, especially at sunset or sunrise. You can take your meals by the water or spend the evening next to a small fire by the water. Basically, it's heavenly! We rented a room expecting just a place to lay our heads, but we found a beautiful, relaxing place to spend a beautiful night chatting by firelight next to the lake!
I was able to take a peak at 3 of the rooms (besides the one we stayed in) and they all looked well-kept. The bed I slept in was comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean and well stocked. There was a small common room with a fridge (you can keep some food there), a kettle, tea, a tv and a huge book of quebecois films to watch (free!).
We ate our breakfast on the balcony facing the lake. They were extremely accomodating of all our dietary restrictions (one vegetarian, one-non-dairy eating meat-eater). The food was DELICIOUS and pretty generous for a b&b. We sat on the balcony practically all afternoon!
Basically, I'm in love with this place and I'm going back as soon as possible.
Also to be noted, if you stay here you get a 10% discount on services at Spa d'Howard (chech my other reviews for more about this), which is an awesome spa about 4 minutes drive (or a lovely walk) from the Auberge. read more
