    Some previous reviews make it sound like the Auberge is semi-deserted, or else staffed by rude individuals. Our experience was totally different, and couldn't have been a nicer stay. The management should however inform people making bookings that the restaurant is only open for breakfast and lunch on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, closed on Wednesday and Thursday, and open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Friday and Saturday. Perhaps the reviewers who found no staff on site were there on Wednesday or Thursday? We found the lady at reception very friendly and helpful (she came to our room when we had trouble getting the Keurig to work), and called in a younger girl to speak to us in English after our struggling attempts in French. Also in the restaurant our server spoke to us in English. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Be warned, the restaurant can be extremely busy on Saturdays and for breakfast on Sunday -- reservations are advised. And yes, the food is very good, and the view is gorgeous. I would have given five stars if the rooms had lakefront balconies, and not just a window looking out on the lake.

    Booked online leaving approximate arrival time and received confirmation by email. Website showed lovely views and a restaurant on-site. Showed up to find front entrance locked with a sign showing a phone number to call. With my limited French, I mentioned I had a reservation and was told a key was around the side in a mailbox with a code to get in. Did receive a lake view room we requested and the views are spectacular. Wifi password that was on the back of the door did not work. Tried calling again with no answer. Also emailed-no response. Did a walk down to main floor and found another password written on a chalkboard as well as on the wall in front of the checkin counter that was closed. Very poor customer service of not advising of check-in procedure nor restaurant being closed during stay.
    Would only recommend for the spectacular views!

    Gorgeous location! Rooms are clean but small and could use more amenities (e.g. reading lights) and generally a bit more love. There was no staff here when we visited.

    Food is EXCELLENT..what a gem. Dinner was delicious and breakfast simply next level stuff. Not sure who runs the kitchen there but damn, bravo!

    Minus one star for less that stellar service for dinner and slow service. We were one of the last ones there in the evening so that may have a lot to do with it but that should not matter in the service industry. Been there, done that, shouldn’t matter. The rest was great!

    Recommend! The friendly staff were able to book us in last minute, and were very accommodating and helpful. Mostly French-speaking (obviously) but make a fantastic effort to help us out! Clean rooms, beds are fairly comfortable, wifi works pretty well. The restaurant staff are incredible. Very affordable with a great view to top it off.
