We stayed here for three days and two nights in July for a mini vacation with the in-laws and it…read morewas wonderful!
The lake was peaceful and atmosphere serene. You can do water activities like swimming, kayaking, and using the pedal boat. My brother in-law brought a couple of Sea-Doo to add to the fun. It was quiet enough to sit and read by the water or sleep and get sun kissed. We were able to reach the national park in 5 minutes by Sea-Doo where we went hiking and hoping to see wildlife. There are 6 different trails or paths to explore the park and hike or bike your heart out.
The auberge was impeccably clean and cared for. If you want to spend time indoors there is a beautiful salon near the restaurant to relax, or sit on the terrace to enjoy the view of the lake. Our family occupied three rooms upstairs on the second floor and we shared the patio area which was furnished with tables and chairs. It was perfect!
My brother-in-law and his family had the luxury suite, set up like a studio apartment complete with a kitchen, dining room, and private patio, a few steps away from the lake. There is a magnificent spa that can fill your heart's desires! The ever so beautiful France is the esthéticien. There are chocolaté baths, coffee scrubs, relaxing massages, fabulous facials, mani-pedi, and there's even an option for outdoor massage in a gazebo a few steps from the water.
Our room rates included a fresh and delicious breakfast. Crêpes, omelettes, fruits, parfaits. The restaurant is closes for lunch BUT they are open for an amazing dinner by Chef Étienne! It is a 4 course dinner and the main courses were steak and fries, seafood linguine, trout, salmon dish, lobster poutine #heeeyyyy, and we were lucky to have the very special bouillabaisse! The desserts were wonderful to complete our dinner. There were chocolate lava cake, raspberry cheesecake, fruits, ice cream to choose from. You also have the option to order coffee with liqueur.
The staff Vanessa and Guillam were attentive, delightful, and charming. They made us feel more than welcome with their smiles and sunny demeanor. During one of our dinners, Chef Étienne shared stories and information about the area, showing his appreciation and admiration of the nature and it's inhabitants surrounding us. We had great conversations with France and shared many laughs. This place and the staff gave us great summer memories.
