“A luxury base for a magical winter holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Went on a multi-activity holiday with Aventures Nouvelle France (highly recommended if you are based in France - flights out of Paris), and stayed at the Auberge for a week. In the snow, the (frozen) lakeside setting is picturesque and we found that there were lots of activities on offer at the hotel during the evenings when we returned from our action-packed days out. At night, the whole place is lit up with a cosy, alpine lodge feel. The remote location was a plus for us, as we wanted a tranquil holiday. Star-gazing on an evening walk was a highlight. A great base for snow-mobiling (motoneige) and quad-biking. Husky-sledding, cross country skiing, snow-shoeing and ice skating also available. Our room was spacious and well-equipped. The buffet-breakfasts were plentiful and the evening meals we had were good (although portion-sizes were sometimes small and vegetables a bit on the undercooked side). All staff were friendly and service as very good. Didn't use the spa or pool as our days were filled with the activities. Would highly recommend for a winter holiday.

“Relax at the beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

We, my 11 year old son and me, spend one night at the Auberge during our Quebec trip.
The hotel is far away from anything else, a long way to drive along lakes and rural areas.
Nice check in staff, my usual question for an top floor oom produced a top floor suite in one of the separate buidlings. Very good room quality, calm and clean.
Watersport is mostly for free, kajaks, boats and else.
Done a quick tour around the lake, hike´s are also on offer.
A real plus is the indoor pool checked in the evening.
Breakfast was not cheap, but everything what we need there.
Recommendable also with kids.

“Very relaxing”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2010

We stayed in a grand classic condo. It was immense. A living room with sofabed, bedroom with queen, full kitchen and bath with whirlpool, and an adjoining separate bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom. Lovely wood beamed ceilings and furniture. Private terrace overlooking the lake. Very clean. Beds a little soft, but OK. Two gas fireplaces and TVs.

Breakfasts were buffets, but good station where they make omelettes or crepes to your order. Four course dinners came with our package. Game meat dishes were excellent, but usually came with a premium fee of $6-10 that had to be paid over the package price. Desserts tended to have strange combinations of ingredients for our taste, like a fruit and creamcheese concoction on a fried wonton instead of straight cheesecake and a chocolate torte with grapefruit sauce combination.

Very nice beach with clean water, not too cold in August.

Not a huge choice of free activities beyond the beach, hiking and kayaking. We tried archery, but the equipment was old and there were no armguards. We went bearwatching for $20, but no bears seen. We rented a seadoo (Jetski) for an hour one day which was fun. kids enjoyed the billiard table in the bar. My wife had a good massage at the spa.

Staff very friendly all around.

All around great, though you need to plan to spend more money on top of your package to enjoy the best amenities.

“Should have been there 5 years ago”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2009

This is one of those place that you can tell it was the "it" place to go for a nice getaway 5 years ago! But for 2009 standard, its a little out-dated.

Although the staffs are super friendly! There are not much to do there beside the nice view and fine dinning. The cool thing about this place is that there is free wireless Internet! And TV. The overall facility is very clean.

But there are some things that can definitely be improved.....for example, maybe a hand soap (since this is a 4-stars hotel)? It begs me a bit that there is only one soap for both hand and body in the bathroom.....moving the soap back and forth from sink to bathtub can be a little annoying. Also, the jacuzzi needs to be a bit hotter and cleaner. Its really an out-dated hot tub. (The dry sauna is very nice though)

I won't go back there again. But I did enjoy the relaxation time while I was there.

“Worth it for the lodge feeling”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

Having looked for a nice lodge to, at least, get the "Canada feeling" following a week of dismal hotels of whatever star ratings in Montreal, Quebec and surroundigs we were happy to see that the picture of their homepage really reflect reality. Our "deluxe suite" (2 flloors, room nr. 1382) was relly excellent, well-equipped and the best place to rest for four days before. Canooing and beach facilities were nice, concerning hiking there is not much to do rather than go through the forest accompanied by mosquitos. Since we cooked ourselves we cannot rate the restaurant.
