We travelled from Ontario to stay as the propery and price was fantastic. The room was wonderful; clean, nicely decorated, beds were comfortable, it was also very quiet. We took part in almost all of the activities that come free with the package, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, candle making and archery. These were fantastic, all the staff was friendly, spoke wonderful english( even though they thought it was poor) and helped with our attempts at french. The dining room was fabulous I have never eaten so well or so much in my life! I would go back again in a heartbeat, and as it is on a lake we may try going back in the summer to take advantage of the beach. The ice hotel was an added benefit as it was magical!

This is certainly a winter wonderland! We were impressed from the moment we arrived. We selected a package with meals. The rooms are lovely and the food delicious. Service was especially good, considering we don't speak French. The highlight for us was visiting the Ice Hotel. A fascinating undertaking and certainly a must see, especially at night. In your wildest dreams you can't imagine the beauty and details of the Ice Hotel. Not only are all the furnishings of ice, but also all the art work on the walls. The Auberge Duchesnay is located in the beautiful Canadian countryside and only 30 minutes to Quebec.

Just want to join in the applause for Duchesnay. We also stayed here in conjunction with a stay at the Ice Hotel. The setting is spectacular, and we have never met more accommodating staff. The night before our stay at the Ice Hotel, we had dinner in the dining room of the Duchesnay (highly recommend the French onion soup). Stopped by the front desk, told them we were spending the night at the Ice Hotel and asked if it would be possible to get an early check-in for the next day since we would be around early. The woman at the desk actually changed our room so that we could be in one where no one was staying the night before. The next day, when we left the frozen confines of the Ice Hotel at 7:30 to have breakfast at the Duchesnay, we went to confirm that we would be able to check in early, and they allowed us to check in then. At 7:30 a.m.! Unthinkable in today's hotel world. Great room with sliding glass doors that had a view of frozen Lake St. Joseph, and a fabulous snow-covered landscape. Rocking chair with cozy throw. Terrific base for winter activities. My husband played snow golf and loved it. It was too cold for me for more than about an hour, but if the weather had been a little warmer (like above 0), I would have loved to have stayed there longer. Do not hesitate to stay here separately or in a package with the Ice Hotel.

Stayed here one night after staying at the Ice Hotel. Great staff and service that accomodated English guests with ease. Nice view of the lake and property from your room. Many activities available, including: dogsledding, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, winter golf, snow shoeing, and much more. All within a short walking distance.
