Pourvoirie du lac Moreau - Auberge du Ravage — Hotel in Lac-Pikauba

My father and I stayed here for 2 nights in August, during a trip trough Quebec. We were received very friendly. The staff was waiting for us, because apparently we were the only guests for those 2 nights.||The Pourvoirie lays 15 km deep in the forest and is completly build in wood. It has an amazing atmosphere and also is very classy. Our room was great, but there is so much more! The bar has something really cosy, there is a lot of room where one can sit and read or have a drink. One can play chess, or pool at the pool table. ||We went for the walk to 'chute des martres', it is a quite intense trip, but it is really worth it! The trip was quite intense, but is also very beautiful ! You're in pure nature and you'll become very humble towards nature, it has left an overwhelming impression on me. At the beginning of our walk, we encountered 2 black bears, a mother and it's kid we suppose. They were in the forest alongside the walking trail at maybe 20 meter. We stood still for a couple of seconds and then they ran away. After a 2 hour's walk (i think) we got a great view on the chute, where we ate our lunch. This was maybe the best walk i've had in my entire life! I really do recommend it to go and take a look at this marvelous fall !||After we got back to our rooms we went for some bear spotting. We've sat there for about 3 hours, but no bears to see. Apparently it was too hot for the bears to come Human spotting lol :p. But, in those 3 hours we had a great chat with the owner of the pourvoirie, which has learned us alot about Canada and Quebec (and went far beyond the local tourist information). So those 3 hours where totaly worth it. And becaus he was also cooking our dinner, we had teh opportunity to wait a bit longer, because there were no other guests.||We got back and went to our rooms and then went for dinner. It's the owner of the pourvoirie who cooks and this was extraordanary ! Great local food of great quality, amazing tastes. Wonderful ! ( Here again, I think I've rarely eaten a dinner of this quality, hats off!).||||This was in my opinion, the best stay we've had on our 21 day trip trough Quebec. It is just amazing, You find yourself in the middle of the woods, completely away from hasty society and you can just relax. The pourvoirie covers an increddible amount of land. And I'd love to come back once in the winter to experience it in the snow !||||Amazing, keep up the good work!||||Sven &...

This is not so much a review of the place but of the staff. While on a saddlebag snowmobile trip, my cold turned into an ear infection which then ruptured my eardrum. I had gone to the hospital the night before and got 24 hours worth of antibiotics and a prescription for more. The staff there spoke good english, and one informed me that it was 1.5 hour drive to the nearest pharmacy as it was Sunday and the closer pharmacies were closed. She said to wait a few minutes as she was finishing her shift and may be able to help me. She asked for my prescription, called the pharmacy and handled everything for me. She then made the 3 hour return trip , paying for the prescription out her own pocket and picking up some things the pharmacist recommended. The ood and accommodations were top notch but the staff goes over and above for you!|Thank...

On n'a rien compris à ce qui s'est passé... On dirait que les employés essaient, mais quelque chose cloche. Par exemple, nous étions assis dans la salle à dîner depuis 19h. Tout allait bien au départ (sauf peut-être un des serveurs qui se promenait en buvant son verre de vin...), mais après l'entrée, ça s'est gâté. Nous avons attendu 1 heure 30 avant le repas principal (nous étions environ 30 personnes dans la salle au total, ce qui est très peu en restauration, avec seulement 2 choix de repas !!!). Sans explication, sans mise en bouche pour nous faire patienter. Devant notre impatience, on nous répond (le serveur avec son verre de vin) avec arrogance. Nous ne sommes pas habitués à un tel traitement... encore moins à l'Auberge du Ravage où nous ÉTIONS clients depuis plus près de 15 ans. Nous avons compris que les nouveaux propriétaires avaient modifié la façon de faire. D'ailleurs, pendant notre attente pour notre souper, nous voyions les propriétaires se prélasser au salon des invités en prenant leurs coupes de vin. Peut-être aurait-il été judicieux d'aller jeter un coup d'oeil aux cuisines pour comprendre pourquoi notre groupe était encore assis sans manger à 21h, deux heures après leur arrivée...? Peut-être ne voient-ils pas leur métier d'aubergistes du même oeil que nous ????||||Le lendemain matin, notre déjeuner a gardé la même tendance : on nous a tous servi une assiette avec ½ oeuf brouillé (c'en était ridicule tellement il n'y en avait pas), du bacon mou et des saucisses pas cuits, tout ça avec un service pas de sourire. Peut-être que nos commentaires de la veille ont généré cette attitude ? Peut-être pas. On ne saura jamais. ||||Avant le changement de propriétaires, nous savions que les chambres n'étaient nullement isolées (on entend TOUT), nous savions aussi que les plafonds coulaient, que les lits n'étaient pas confortables, que les douches étaient minuscules, mais nous adorions l'ambiance et le service qui prenaient le dessus sur ces inconvénients. Mais maintenant que nous avons vécu un service aussi médiocre (sauf le petit couple de Français qui essaient de faire de leur mieux dans les circonstances), il n'y a plus rien d'intéressant là.||||Sincèrement, notre déception a été telle que nous ne retournerons pas à l'Auberge du Ravage. Ce n'est plus une auberge où on nous accueille comme des invités. Au contraire, les clients semblent dérangeants pendant que les propriétaires prennent soin de leur...
