We stayed for 2 nights at Hillside in Feb 2025\. This accommodation was the perfect location for a picturesque and relaxing winter getaway. We were able to access the property with ease and found the paths and deck very well cleaned for the winter weather. The inside of the cottage was beautifully decorated with quaint and classic charm. We enjoyed the wood burning fireplace each night and enjoyed the view from the deck. It was the perfect place to unplug from the norm and enjoy a thoughtful experience. The hot tub also provided a nice feature to enhance relaxation and enjoy being outdoors in the winter. Overall the accommodations are very cozy, clean and well maintained. We cooked lovely meals in the full kitchen each evening and enjoyed coffee with a view each morning. I highly recommend this property for couples and families alike. I cannot wait to return in the summer months to enjoy the lake experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay! ##### Angela I. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy A peaceful place!! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Quality Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Rimouski-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h38321954.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Matane-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h41244.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Énergie Shawinigan](https://www.expedia.ca/Trois-Rivieres-Hotels-Hotel-Gouverneur-Shawinigan.h117836.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel du Lac Champlain](https://www.expedia.ca/Venise-En-Quebec-Hotels-La-Cache-Du-Lac-Champlain-By-C-Hotels.h17957048.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Alila ](https://www.expedia.ca/Morin-Heights-Hotels-Hotel-Alila-Saint-Sauveur.h9633119.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Ste.
