“Highly recommend it if you want a quiet, scenic getaway.”
I had a great stay at L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur. The location is absolutely amazing — right in the heart of nature, peaceful, and perfect for disconnecting. Surrounded by beautiful forest and close to the park entrance, it’s ideal for outdoor lovers.

Very nice wooden-auberge. Rooms are essential but functional. Key position for excursions in the park. Keep in mind that any meal at the restaurant (breakfast included) has to be booked in advance.

“If you need a place for just a night to launch your wilderness adventure, this is a good choice.”
Very good value and location (especially if you are planning to enjoy the outdoors - including the Chute du Diable trail for which the trailhead is 200m across the road).

Perfect position to visit the National Parc de La Maurice. Small room but clean and with everything needed. The personal is very kind: they provided us a breakfast also without the booking according the timing stated in the instruction.

Super close to Mauricie parc. Very friendly owner. The breakfast was not cheap but very very good. If you want to eat there in the evening you have to reserve beforehand

“Excellent location near entrance to National Park, comfortable place to stay with nice hosts.”
Lovely, quiet location, spotless rooms, delicious supper one evening reflecting traditional northern Quebec fare (extra price and has to be booked), as well as the very ample breakfasts if you pay a supplement to get a full meal rather than continental breakfast. Very relaxing stay for two nights.

“Amazing place right next to the park”
The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was located right next to the National park so a super convenient spot if you plan to visit the park multiple days. The room was a good size. There is no fridge but a microwave and kettle so you can make a quick snack or meal- just make sure you eat in your room.
