Over priced for what you get. Good for families
Owner is unresponsive. The inn is well worn and walls are thin. Look elsewhere if you are a light sleeper or if you don’t want to hear the neighboring rooms.

We are deeply sorry you left feeling this way. This inn is indeed well worn, since it is 128 years old. Your room neighbor was removed from the premises on thursday because of the noise complaint you made wednesday night at 00:48AM. I strongly believe we did all we could to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The rest of the weekend was fully booked and there may have been a lot of coming and going, for that we apologize, but there was nothing more we could do for you. Nonetheless, we still wish you a wonderful fall season, and thank you for your mark and comment.

Booked a superior 2 queen bedroom with lake view. The room had 2 full beds only, no lake view, filthy (really bad smoking smell, cobwebs on the fixtures and mouse droppings in the closet), non working thermostat, only 2 towels for 4 and noisy/leaky toilets. Plus charged 40$ over what Expedia charged during the reservation
Response from Mike on Oct 13, 2023
Votre réservation Expedia mentionne deux grands lits, je ne comprend pas votre commentaire à ce sujet. De plus, votre chambre possèdait un sofa-lit supplémentaire. Donc, trois lits. Nous en sommes désolé, il nous est impossible de changer l'indication sur Expedia, car les chambres sont organisées par catégorie. Cependant, la vue est accessible à seulement dix pas de votre porte. Votre voisin de chambre fût expulsé car il fûmait dans sa chambre. L'automne battant son plein, les araignées cherchent refuge, nous enlevons leurs toiles de notre mieux, mais celles-ci reviennent en quelques heures. La bâtisse, ayant 128 ans, nous engage dans un long combat contre les souris. Merci de nous avoir informé à ce sujet afin que nous puissions évaluer la situation. Le thermostat fût vérifié, et fonctionne. Nous sommes désolé s'il manquait des serviettes, cependant il aurait été possible de le signaler à la réception, afin de nous en informer pour que nous puissions vous en fournir s'il y a eu un oubli de la part de notre équipe. Il faut tirer la chaîne longtemps et doucement, sinon le clapet ne se ferme pas correctement. Vous aviez deux chiens, qui n'étaient pas mentionné dans votre réservation Expedia, nous les avons tout simplement chargé comme ils auraient dû l'être. La chambre était dans un piètre état à votre départ, ce qui a nécessité énormément de travail de la part de l'équipe de nettoyage. Il y avait des poils jusqu'au plafond dans la salle de bain. Les chiens ont donc été chargé les double, vu la quantité colossale de travail afin d'éliminer leurs poils des lits, des meubles, des rideaux, des tapis, ainsi que de la salle de bain. Sur ce, nous vous souhaitons tout de même un belle saison automnale.

The owner didn’t bother to check in our group. He just told us to take different rooms and it turned out that two of our group had paid for superior rooms and been given standard rooms. our group figured it out and made the changes. Very poor first impression.

Response from Mike on Sep 18, 2023
Hi, at the inn, we believe in group autonomy, so you can decide who goes where, as long as the number of people isn't over what had been agreed upon. The two people should've told the owner about their room category, especially if it was already paid for. I understood, you were also given the two full appartments, which is quite the upgrade. And that you left without paying. Nonetheless, we hope you have a great fall season.

We like funky!
If you are looking for something as well kept as the Ritz, this is not the place for you, if a little funky is ok then you will love it. Great hot tub and view of the lake, lots of places to sit outside on the grass in view of the lake. Reception was very welcoming and accomodating. We had an extra person in our group, and it was NOT a problem at all... and it was directly on the bike trail!!!

This was the perfect stop on our bike trip on Le P’tit Train du Nord it’s right on the trail and right on the lake. The views are stunning, the proprietor friendly and helpful, and the bed was very comfortable after a long day of cycling. Hot tub,sauna,pool, safe and covered bike storage all made this a great stop.

We booked a “ premium lake view room “ which was neither premium nor did it have a lake view! We were the first guests to check in for the day and I asked the owner for a room that was “ premium” and with a lake view as promised. He was arrogant, intimidating, and totally obnoxious. He said no other rooms were “ available” ( not true) and that basically I was a “ Expedia one night booking” and what did I expect? WellI I did not expect a dumpy room that faced the road. I paid top $ for the room. Then he offered me a full refund and I could go elsewhere. However, My husband and I were on a bike ride in a remote location of northern Quebec where basically only two lodgings were available and all had been booked weeks if not months ahead. I had nowhere to go !!!!! Buyer beware at this location.

Hi Ms Schaden, I remember the event (I was the little human translating!). You had booked a Superior room on Expedia on August 15th. What he meant by the Expedia-one-night-booking, is that Expedia customers do not have the opportunity to choose which room they will get, by category. As I explained, all rooms are indicated as with lake view (because we cannot indicate which room does, and which doesn't by room category). I checked, and the inn was indeed full that day. This was poorly explained to you, and far from a comprehensive attitude. You could not have switched rooms. However, his behavior was unworthy of his usual demeanor and understanding character. I am deeply sorry for how this matter went, and for how helpless you must have felt.

Quirky Stay - smelly with chipmunks in the room
It is a very quirky Inn, the location is great but the room was filthy, smelled like stale smoke, and we had rodents (two chipmunks) running around our room peeing and pooping on our things (including the bed). The owner did not apologize or adjust the cost of the room, or provide a different room for us. The pool and lake a great but the rooms are dated, smelly and quite unpleasant.

Response from Mike on Aug 28, 2023
Hi Ms Poor, our team did a check-up right after this was reported to us. No filth was found anywhere. At all. Although, the one chipmunk, did leave as soon as he could, since he was so afraid of humans to come out of the chimney. Quite a clean rodent I have to admit. Spiders will leave cobwebs anywhere they can, and do come back within 12 hours of us removing them. Your quirky attitude was the reason the owner did not apologise. You already had a cost reduction and the inn was completely full, so we couldn't move you. Have a great day.

Response from Mike on Jul 3, 2023
Bonjour,Le bâtiment est effectivement assez âgé, puisqu'il fût érigé en 1895, l'auberge a donc près de 130 ans! C'est un peu comme la doyenne de Nominingue.Nous sommes conscients des circonstances exceptionnelles que les conditions climatiques extrêmes nous font vivre cette année au Québec, et même dans tout le Canada. Il est fort probable que, malgré notre système de climatisation centrale, nos déshumidificateurs, ainsi que nos luminaires avec ventilateurs, vous ayez quand même vécu un inconfort face à l'humidité ressentie. Malheureusement, cet été nous subissons des phénomènes météorologiques uniques, causés par le réchauffement climatique, qui sont totalement hors de notre contrôle.Avec ses 130 années, l'auberge est constamment en réparation, construction, rénovation et amélioration. Nous travaillons activement sur plusieurs sections du domaine, ainsi que du bâtiment principal, et ce chaque été, profitant du temps plus clément afin de faire progresser les chantiers en cours.En conclusion, nous vous suggérons d'émettre une critique constructive, afin de mieux comprendre ce qu'il nous serait possible d'améliorer selon vous.En dépit des conditions météorologiques atypiques et instables, nous vous souhaitons, au nom de toute l'équipe, un merveilleux été.Merci.

We are terribly sorry to hear you did not like your stay. Although, we would like to advise you that the Laurentians, during summertime, will be full of mosquitoes, especially an inn on the shore of a lake. Outside bugs to not mean the rooms are dirty, we are proud of our team and their work to ensure every room is clean. Lastly, we would like to remind you that a valid credit card is necessary for any reservations in a hotel. Thank you and have a wonderful summer!

We loved the hotel, and we only stayed for 1 night. We brought our dog, and he had a blast playing with one of the owner's dogs. The host was very friendly and flexible. The property has the best location and view. We went for a walk on the trial and it was beautiful. The pool was clean and fresh, our kids had so much fun. The facilities need some maintenance but overall it didn't bug us, the room was great and we had a nice experience. We will be back!

The rooms could definitely use some updating and repairs. Bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a kitchenette (mini fridge and 2 burner stove and sink). The setting is beautiful (right on the lake!) and super convenient to the petite train de nord bike path. The hot tub/ jacuzzi on the terrace was nice ( though not very hot), and we would have enjoyed the small pool if the weather had been warmer.

Property is nice right on the water, rooms are clean and comfortable for the most part. What’s disappointing is the owner/host does the absolute bare minimum for their customers. All instructions are given to you verbally so make sure you’re not to tired if you’ve been riding your bike all day. And the host/owner makes it very clear as soon as you enter that he does not provide any food even though there are no restaurants in the immediate area and he isn’t able to really give you any ideas of where you can go. In the morning don’t expect them to even make coffee, the owner/host will leave the coffee maker out but it’s on you to actually make it. If you purely just need a bed to sleep in this place is fine but if you want/expect anything more then that go elsewhere.

This was an awesome place to spend the day. We loved the pool and outdoor hot tub, and the room was beautiful, comfortable, and fully equipped. There's an outdoor BBQ setup that we made good use of. The owner was jovial, friendly and helpful, and we had an interesting chat about what it's like to run a place like this year round. Some people commented about cigarette smoke at the reception desk. It's true the staff smoke in this space, and I'd rather they didn't, but this isn't an area where guests are expected to spend any time. Our room was directly above this area and we had no problems with smells or otherwise. Highly recommend this guesthouse and I'd love to go back there.
