Auberge Du Lac Taureau? Opinions?
 

Found this in Fodor's "Escape to Nature without Roughing It" book (while looking for Vancouver Island or Nova Scotia ideas, of course). It's in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Quebec.

The book makes it sound great for kids (I have four).

Anybody hear of it?

I can't seem to find any web info on it; it must be pretty secluded- were there any pictures of the inn ?
Is it close to Quebec city ?

Website is at http://www.auberge.lactaureau.com/resort/index.asp

It's about 2 hrs NE of Montreal.

The website isn't a very good one - Fodor's went into detail about the place - complete with countless family activities and a "caribbean like beach".

I called the place and they didn't speak much English, so I didn't get too much information.

I saw nothing on this website that makes we want to say, "Let's take the kids!" In all the pictures I could only find one kid.

As for anywhere in Quebec to claim to have a Caribbean style beach, there must be a gimmick. Perhaps faux-white sand and piped in reggae.

Thanks everyone. I'll stay away from this place and stick with Vancouver Island. Decisions, decisions.

There are nice sandy beaches by the lakes in Quebec ( it's not faux sand) but the water is freezing cold.......

This inn looks like a nice rustic lodge for a quiet retreat or few days of r&r.

I think you'll have a greater variety of activities in Vancouver Island though.
