Warmth and Hospitality in Gatineau
We're a tough crowd with wheelchair accessibility and dietary requirements (many Veg in the crowd) and Gail was outstanding from the beginning. She suggested great meal options, and was also able to make dinner for us during our stay to make it truly a relaxing experience. Gail is an excellent chef, and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. She also prepared an amazing sauna experience on both nights, we loved it and slept very well afterwards! The beds were very comfy and the place was spotless and very tastefully decorated even with some of Gail's own refurbished antiques. To top it off Gail arranged a face to face meeting with a local celebrity in the arts to speak to our daughter who shared common interests. Not to mention the care package at the end. We loved sharing stories and the entire experience, and will definitely stay in touch with Gail in future. Thank you! Chris, Nina, Alea, Eva & Lara

The online description properly reflects what is offered at the Auberge. The food was very good and abundant. There is no need to worry about a lunch. The hosts are very welcoming and attentive. It was a real treat to stay there.

Superb accommodations and outstanding meals
Gail and Marc are wonderful and generous hosts in this beautiful auberge. The food was exquisite, and Gail also went out of her way to accommodate my need for gluten-free and dairy-free meals. The beds were so comfortable and the inn is very tastefully decorated. We also enjoyed the benefits of the sauna! I would highly recommend, and we will certainly be back!

Girls Weekend at Auberge Chalimar
This is the second time I have stayed at Gail's Auberge and it was just as delightful as the first! I am already planning ahead for a trip to bring my boyfriend. My 2 girlfriends and I had a relaxing and fun weekend. Gail and Marc are excellent company. The food is spectacular and the conversation is great. The beds are very comfortable and we loved the sauna. Thank you Auberge Chalimar for the amazing experience!

Best Stay-cation!!!
This exceeded our expectations in every way. Gail and her partner were absolutely amazing hosts. The chalet is just stunning, the rooms are spacious but honestly you don't spend much time in there, from the trails, to the water to the spa ambience it was just what all my girlfriends and I needed. The food was to die for, I could not believe the feast we had at every meal! For those thinking they need lunch AND dinner - don't! I was worried about that too but the breakfast was so large and filling and Gail always had snacks out throughout the day we were worried we wouldn't be able to eat our dinners! Pro tip - choose the beef, we didn't and only realized after it was a Tomahawk steak! * sigh ah well next time...and there will be a next time! We've already re-booked! Wonder for a fam getaway or an amazing relaxing girls getaway like we had.

Wonderful retreat with excellent hospitality
The auberge was beautiful. We had the upstairs to ourselves enjoyed spending time with our hosts and their 2 friendly dogs on the main floor. Top of the line beds. Food was exceptional and abundant. The salt baths were wonderful and relaxing. Enjoyed the fire at night. It was the perfect escape and time to unwind.
