This is a beautiful winter spot for the holidays. The resort was decorated for Christmas and it was lovely. We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa. They are modern, clean and have lots of space. They have a hot tub on the back deck overlooking the lake. There was a small area in the lake for skating. We were able to take a horse drawn carriage ride around the area which was really nice. The pub style restaurant was excellent. We had dietary issues and they were very accommodating. We had brunch in the main dining area and it was very good. We were going to have Christmas dinner in the main dining room but they could not accommodate our dietary restrictions. We went to the Nordic Station in Magog and it was great.

We visited for lunch. It was wonderfully relaxing, sitting by the lakeside. The service and food were excellent. Try the chocolates, which are made at the hotel. Stunning!

Had a wonderful vacation at Ripplecove with my family of four (husband + boys aged 10 and 13 years). We were initially only supposed to stay 2 nights, but we loved it so much we extended our stay to 4 nights. We stayed in the newer condo terrace building, and the room was perfect. A separate bedroom area for the kids, a kitchen which we used to make some simple breakfasts and lunches, and a private patio with a beautiful view of the lake. Room was quiet (not sure we heard anything from any other rooms even once), and very clean. We took advantage of many of the hotel amenities, including the hot tub, docks for fishing, and paddle boats. We also had someone take us out on the pontoon boat one evening. Everything was in great condition. Had dinner and breakfast once each at the restaurant on site which was tasty, albeit on the pricy side. The restaurant ambiance, both inside and outside on the lakeside patio were lovely. If I had to identify a negative - and this was very minor - we were never able to cool the room as much as we are used to at night for sleeping. It was cool enough overnight that we were able to open the patio door to let cool air in, which was sufficient. We will definitely be back!

All of the the staff are to be commended for the quality of their service. In the restaurant, they were attentive, personable and knowledgeable about the food being offered. A wonderful dining experience. This is our second time visiting Ripplecove. The setting is relaxing. The hospitality is of the highest quality.
