Auberge des Gallant  

Perched on Rigaud Mountain in Sainte-Marthe, Quebec, this Victorian-style country inn sits on roughly 400 acres of lakeside countryside. It's a family-friendly, pet-friendly base a short drive from Ski Mont Rigaud, Arbraska Rigaud Park and the Sanctuaire Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes.

Victorian charm meets cozy modern comforts across 41 air-conditioned rooms with fireplaces, LCD TVs and private furnished balconies or patios. Expect pillowtop beds dressed in Egyptian cotton, bathrobes and little touches like DVD players in select rooms. The on-site spa uses local ingredients—wine, honey, chocolate and maple sugar—for treatments, plus Shiatsu and therapeutic baths. In-season maple pavilion treats run February through April.

Soak in an outdoor pool, grab a drink at the poolside bar, or unwind at the full-service spa and massage rooms. Active guests get ski-to-door access, a ski school and transfers, plus table tennis, a library and an arcade/game room for family downtime. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and free parking make arrivals easy, while a tour desk and concierge help you plan local adventures.

The property offers a business center and 2,500 sq ft of event space across five meeting rooms, plus complimentary wireless internet for meetings and conferences.

Enjoy regional cuisine and an extensive wine list in the dining room or sip cocktails in the bar/lounge and poolside bar. The Maple Sugar Shack serves family-style fare with garden views and seasonal maple products, plus a popular Sunday brunch and a daily buffet breakfast (for a fee). Limited room service is available.
