Auberge Ripplecove & Spa

Skirting the waters of Lake Massawippi, on a peninsula in Quebec's Eastern Townships region, is the remarkable Auberge Ripplecove & Spa. Opened in 1945, the resort has been expanded and renovated over the years resulting in AAA Four-Diamond Award status since 1987. Located on a 12-acre sprawl, the hotel is a captivating mix of accommodations and fine dining. The rooms are heavenly retreats filled with plush furnishings, original artwork and hardwood floors - some rooms equipped with fireplaces and private balconies. The only other place on the property to rivals the comfort of these private sanctuaries is the refined full-service spa, with its sublime selection of massages, body treatments and facials.

The resort's Victorian dining room offers lakeside dining and a menu of French and international fare. Illuminated by candlelight and the gentle sounds of live classical music provided by the resident pianist, guests are privy to a truly luxurious experience. For a more casual place to snack and imbibe, plant yourself inside Nag's Head Pub, located just steps away. The region offers an abundance of seasonal activities with ice skating and skiing in the winter, and tennis, sailing and swimming in the summer. There are a total of nine golf courses within a 20-minute drive of Auberge Ripplecove & Spa, as well as a pair of world-class ski resorts located just a mogul-toss from hotel. The area is also rich with museums and art galleries. A thriving local wine industry is another plus, allowing you to sample vintages at the various tasting rooms found among the nearby vineyards. Visit Auberge Ripplecove & Spa and you are sure to see why it is more than just a hotel - it is an experience.
