The picture of the lake on the front page of the property listing is deceiving. The property needs lots of improvements. The stairs to my room under the eves were very narrow. I had difficulty hauling my carry-on to the room. The furniture was old. The linen and the towels were white at some point. They were more grayish.

This property is in poor repair, not clean, and not well marked. There are many things about it that are unsafe Owner was friendly when we arrived, and made a recommendation for dinner that turned out to be a great experience.

It was a lovely stay! The host, Chris, was a really kind and frendly guy and the breakfast he made for us was amazing. Unfortunately it was rainy when we visited the place, but the (frozen) lake view was beautiful. The room itself was also well decorated with Peruvian stuff. I wish I can come back here in summer :)

Lake-front B&B near Parc National Mauricie
The B&B hosts were very friendly and helpful, providing lots of good tips on what to visit. The room was in excellent condition, with nice furnishings and a view over the lake (we saw a spectacular thunderstorm over the water one night). Breakfast is home made, with lots of fruit, yogurt, crepes, coffee, juice and more. Very nice all round.

There are a lot of actibities on the site (swimming, base line, kayak, caneo, biking, board games, siesta spaces and fishing), 15 mn away (lakes, hikes, tree to tree, etc), and 30 mn aways (bear watching, via ferrata, mauricie national parc, etc).

Serene little get-away near Mauricie National Park
Note: this is not a corporate hotel, but a bed & breakfast style accomodation. We stayed in the economy room, which had a lovely view of the lake. It is quite small, but two walls are basically all windows, so it feels more spacious. The room itself had a cute South American themed decor, and a very comfortable bed. The hosts, Christian and Jeanne are very welcoming, and speak both French and English. You have the option of renting canoes or other outdoor equipment on site for a very affordable rate. We paid an extra few dollars for the breakfast, which was well worth the money! We enjoyed homemade crepes, and our choice of beverages. Jeanne gave us lots of information about things to do in the area, as well as La Mauricie National Park maps and tips. I recommend Gîte du lac à la tortue for a relaxing and quiet stay.

Le chalet panoramique est très beau avec une cuisine moderne et tout équipée. Dans ce chalet il y a deux chambres avec lit double et deux autres styles de divan-lit dans le salon. Il y a également une troisième chambre à part accessible par le balcon qui a sa propre salle de bain et une laveuse et sécheuse fort appréciée. Il y a un joli petit quai pour regarder les enfants se baigner dans le lac. Il y a TV et wifi également. Mes enfants, ma femme et moi-même avons bien aimé. Tellement que nous avons demandé à rester une troisième journée. Le lac est magnifique et il y a plein d’activités à faire dans la région.

Cette endroit est tout simplement parfait. Les hôtes nous reçoivent comme des rois, toujours attentionnés à nos demandes. Les déjeuners était excellents. Le site est tout simplement sublime. Mon voyage était un voyage en amoureux, mais le prochain sera certainement avec nos deux garçons, pour profiter des installations et de l'espace prévu sur le terrain. C'est un endroit que je vous recommande absolument. Merci Jeanne et Christian. On se revoit bientôt.

Beau séjour mère fille!
Très bel endroit au bord de l’eau. La propriétaire fait ce qu’elle peut pour rendre notre séjour agréable. Toutefois, le terrain Et la façade de l’hôtel manquent d’amour et d’entretien. Par contre, les propriétaires ont mis beaucoup d’effort dans la rénovation de leurs chambres qui sont très belles et qui ont une magnifique vue sur le lac. Plus grosse déception lors de notre séjour, le spa était payant 10$ par personne par jour, donc ça nous a enlevé l’envie d’y aller:(
