Calling all food lovers and getaway seekersm this is where it’s happening. Here are three perfect places to stay that combine outdoor adventures with unforgettable culinary discoveries!
Ever dreamed of staying in a floating cabin? Bora Boréal offers just that—a one-of-a-kind getaway perfect for unplugging in the heart of the Eastern Townships. Their signature floating cabin, the Minibora, is an ideal retreat for a romantic autumn escape. With its glass garage door overlooking the lake, rooftop panoramic terrace, and relaxation net suspended above the water, everything is in place for an intimate and memorable stay.
Staying in a floating cabin allows you to experience the vibrant fall colours from the closest vantage point to nature—whether through the floor-to-ceiling glass door, without ever leaving your bed, or from the panoramic rooftop terrace.
When it comes to dining, prepare to be delighted. Nearby, Les Mal-Aimés serves a refined farm-to-table gastronomic experience that highlights fresh, local, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients in a truly magical setting. For a more laid-back atmosphere, Cidrerie Pomme Sauvage is the perfect spot to sip a glass of cider in the sunshine and savour the last warm days of the season.
Balnea Hotel invites you to enjoy a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, just minutes from the renowned BALNEA Spa. Designed for those looking to slow down and recharge, the property offers signature rooms and bright studios that can accommodate up to five guests, featuring warm and welcoming spaces, private terraces, kitchenettes, and cozy alcoves perfect for relaxation.
Each stay includes breakfast and is enhanced by the attentive service of a team known for its genuine hospitality. To elevate the experience, accommodation-and-spa packages allow guests to fully embrace the restorative benefits of nature for both body and mind, with the option to add a treatment, a massage, or a meal at Lumami Restaurant. In an elegant setting, Lumami showcases wholesome, seasonal cuisine where freshness and flavour shine through in every bite.
An ideal destination for travellers seeking comfort, tranquillity, and well-being.
In Sutton, where you stay is part of the experience. From charming inns and welcoming bed and breakfasts to character-filled boutique hotels, the village offers plenty of inviting places to slow down and soak in the local atmosphere.
Whether you choose the historic charm of Le Pinôt, housed in a magnificent Victorian home dating back to 1905, the upscale yet relaxed comfort of Ewokk with its spa and heated saltwater pool, the warm atmosphere of Auberge Sutton Brouërie, where you can enjoy house-brewed beer after a day outdoors, or the contemporary elegance of Le Pleasant Hôtel and its Monté Verdé bistro, each property offers a unique experience and personality.
These accommodations are part of a destination where culinary pleasures abound, from the village’s cafés and bistros to restaurants showcasing local products. Complete your stay with a visit to Vignoble Ste-Agnès, renowned for its spectacular mountain views, or À l’Abordage Microbrewery, two local favourites that contribute to Sutton’s authentic and flavourful charm.
