Manoir Lac-Etchemin

The lake within reach

At the Manoir, the lake is not a faraway sight to admire from your room; it is directly accessible in many ways. There are kayaks, a pedal boat and paddleboards available to rent on-site, ready to take you out on the water whenever the mood strikes. If you prefer dry land, have a seat on the swings or at a waterfront table with a drink from the O-Manoir restaurant. Everything is designed for guests to effortlessly enjoy the lakeside.

A package for every taste

The Manoir knows that not everyone has the same expectations for their vacation. Which is why it offers packages for couples, families and active guests.

Couples often choose the Bed & Breakfast package, which includes a comfortable night’s sleep, a full breakfast and the opportunity to try beers made by the Verso microbrewery located right in the hotel.

Golfers will be pleased by the package offered courtesy of a partnership with the Lac-Etchemin golf club, one of the region’s renowned golf courses. Cart included! After a round of golf or a paddle on the lake, why not go for a dip in the outdoor pool or relax in the hot tub?

Every package combines rest and discovery, without ever making you feel rushed.

A good time all around

The Manoir’s charm also lies in its surrounding area. Only minutes away, Éco-Parc des Etchemins has a beach with lifeguards, six water slides, a wave pool and a playground, plenty to keep children busy all day long.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be happy to find walking trails, mountain biking trails and a golf course nearby. For foodies, the local agri-food shops and microbreweries are well worth a visit.

The lake remains the focal point, but the entire region invites you to explore, on foot or by bike, or simply to take a leisurely stroll.

At Manoir Lac-Etchemin, come for the lake and leave with much more: the memory of having spent every hour doing something important: relaxing for real.
