How would you like to combine golf, hiking and relaxation with a stay at Owl’s Head? With spectacular views overlooking Lake Memphremagog, gastronomic meals and comfortable accommodations, this two-day itinerary promises to be a rejuvenating getaway where every moment invites you to make the most of summer in the Eastern Townships. Follow this route to get inspired for your next adventure!
Begin your stay by heading to the magnificent Owl’s Head Golf Club’s 18-hole course. As soon as you arrive, breathe in the pure Townships air and surrender to the appeal of this stunning golf course nestled at the foot of the mountain with the same name. Accessible to all levels, it offers panoramic views of Lake Memphremagog and the surrounding mountains. Don’t have your own equipment? No worries, you can rent (and even buy!) everything you need on site. So grab your clubs!
After your game, head to the Club Haus restaurant, a fieldstone pavilion, where the warm ambiance and delightful installations will provide you with a moment of pure pleasure and relaxation. What will you choose? The famous lobster guedille, the smoked meat sandwich or one of the other succulent options on the menu? Would you prefer a table on the terrace or in the air-conditioned dining room? Either way, you’ll be able to enjoy amazing views overlooking the golf course and the surrounding mountains.
After a full day outdoors, it’s now time to settle in at the onsite MTN Haus hotel. As you enter, right away, you’ll be charmed by the spacious, fully-equipped suite: a king-size bed, a sofa bed and even a cozy mezzanine area. Sit outside on your balcony, with a drink in hand, and admire the late afternoon light gently fade over the mountains. Then relax on a comfortable bed and enjoy a restful night’s sleep. With direct access to the chalet’s main facilities, everything you need for a delightful stay is at your fingertips. The ideal way to end a perfect day!
Before you start your busy day, take a little time to enjoy a delicious breakfast at the Club Haus restaurant. Choose whatever you like; it’s included in your room reservation!
Once you’ve satisfied your appetite and regained your energy, lace up your hiking boots and head for the Owl’s Head mountain trails. Being a less travelled route, the mountain trails offer you an ascent taking you across the heart of nature. Keep an eye out! Here eagles, turkey vultures and other birds of prey can be seen flying overhead, while the forest is home to a variety of wild animals. When you reach the summit, the views are breathtaking: Lake Memphremagog stretches out before you, surrounded by Mount Jay Peak, Mount Elephant and Mount Orford. Whether you choose the 2.8 km, 3.5 km or 5 km loop, each trail will lead you to a breathtaking panorama.
To complete your stay in style, why not stop by the village of Mansonville on your way home? This little gem, just 10 km from Owl’s Head, will delight you with its small local businesses, where you can stock up on local products! You can also take a little time to stroll through the town’s heritage buildings and its emblematic round barn.
