Auberge de la Riviere Saguenay
Set on a slope overlooking the Saguenay Fjord, this lovely inn is a fine launching place for waterway or mountain adventures. Spend quiet time on private balconies that afford inspiring views of wilderness all around, or stroll down to the beach. Homey, earth-tone rooms are large and uncluttered. A cottage large enough for four people is available, too (C$139 per day). The friendly innkeepers provide lots of insider tips on places to go and things to do. Breakfasts are generous, especially fruit-laden crepes.
