The best accommodations Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean

Located on its exceptional and vast landscaped park, the Auberge du Jardin invites you to rest and relax.

Its restaurant serves fine French cuisine in harmony with regional flavors. Terraces, bar and two lounges with fireplace are at your disposal when you return from your activities: hiking, kayaking, cruises (whales and fjord), canoeing, fishing (salmon, trout), snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dog sledding... An address to remember!

Very large campsite for tents and caravans, just a stone's throw from the wild zoo. For those who want more peace and quiet, the wooded section of the white forest is recommended. It is also possible to spend the night in a trailer, a yurt or a cottage. On-site services and activities: swimming pool and water games, walking trail, train ride, playgrounds, community pavilion with laundry room, canteen and convenience store, etc. The owners also operate a campground in Saint-Prime, a few kilometres from Saint-Félicien.

An extraordinary place with adorable bohemian owners, a superb setting and a view of the fjord; a rustic cottage (with electricity) for longer stays, a small comfortable chalet and 2 bedrooms in the main house. Between sea (Saguenay), mountain, forest and countryside. Ideal as a base camp to visit the surroundings (Saguenay, Lac St-Jean, Tadoussac and more) or simply to rest in a bucolic setting. A crazy charm, I promise!

A place for meeting, exchanging and sharing, this hostel, located just a stone's throw from the fjord, works on three fronts: youth hostel, adventure tourism and cultural platform. Accommodation includes a dormitory, two private rooms and two yurts. Other services include a kitchen for preparing meals, a cultural café-bar and a large terrace with panoramic views. The inn also offers outdoor activities in summer and winter (sea kayaking, Nordic skiing, ice fishing, etc.). A must-see!

Built in 1949, this former luxurious residence owned by John Murdock, a businessman well known in Chicoutimi in the years 1920-30, became a cottage in 2008. Each of the rooms is decorated in its own way (for the followers of Saint-Exupéry, ask for follow-up of the same name). The house is magnificent with its oak panelling, its fireplaces in the lounge and in the dining room, its sumptuous staircase, its rooms under the penthouse… The seal has remained intact and the place, like its owners, is very welcoming. Castle life at lower prices!

Located on the edge of the majestic Saguenay Fjord and Mont-Bélu mountain, the Auberge de la Grande Baie will charm you with its warm welcome. In the programme, a quality stay in one of their rooms with a splendid view either on the fjord or on the mountain.

This cottage, with chic Shabby decoration, is located on the edge of the lake at the Cross. You can enjoy pedal boats, floating chairs, paddle boards, kayaking and canoeing, or settle in the charming garden lounge for ducks and other birds after soaking in the outdoor whirlpool or using the dry sauna. A retreat, the most comfortable, where you will feel at home.

It is one of the largest campsites in the region with 250 pitches and 8 fully equipped chalets. Many services and activities on-site: Swimming pool with water games, mini-golf, beach volleyball, community hall, Internet café, bicycle rental, etc.

An exceptional view of the fjord between nature and culture: These elements are gathered here to offer you an authentic experience. The hostel table offers delicious health cuisine, fragrant products of its local products (reservation obligatory 24 h in advance). It also highlights fair coffee, the fruits of its trees, the jelly of its pommetiers and its vines, as well as other homemade products. Thanks to the combined efforts of the clientele and the staff, the hostel has been recognized as Ecoleader (silver level) since September 2014, a reference to TripAdvisor, which dedicates the "Here on recycle" approach of Recyc-Québec.

A small cottage with a historic and rural charm, where wood is almost omnipresent. Four rooms with a rustic feel are available to guests, offering a view either on the salmon river or on the garden. In the morning, a gourmet breakfast with a regional flavour is served in the pretty dining room. Several packages allow you to combine lodging with an activity, such as a sea kayaking excursion on the fjord or a whale watching cruise, to fully experience the beautiful Saguenay region.
