Location
Nestled in the heart of the forest, L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur offers an exceptional location for those looking to embrace Quebec's natural beauty. The inn is situated right at the entrance of the Mauricie National Park, making it a perfect launchpad for exploring the park's stunning landscapes and hiking trails. Guests appreciate the tranquility and quietness of the surroundings, which provide an ideal setting for rest and relaxation.

The proximity to the park cannot be overstated; it is situated just a stone's throw away, with some reviews noting the entrance is mere meters away. Visitors frequently emphasize the pristine natural setting that surrounds the inn, enhancing the experience of a stay that feels genuinely immersed in nature. Guests have also noted the helpfulness and kindness of the inn's hosts, who provide excellent advice on local walks and areas to explore.

While the location is described as superb and unbeatable for exploring Mauricie Park, it should be noted that the inn is somewhat isolated from amenities such as stores and restaurants. This seclusion, however, contributes to the tranquil atmosphere, making it especially appealing to those in search of a peaceful retreat. Overall, L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur offers a well-situated refuge for nature lovers seeking proximity and easy access to one of Quebec’s most magnificent national parks.

Breakfast
Nestled in a comfortable setting, L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur offers a breakfast experience that, for the most part, leaves guests satisfied. Many visitors commend the breakfast as being very good, with an appealing variety of options to suit different appetites. A hearty start to the day is a common highlight, often mentioned alongside the warm welcome and pleasant atmosphere that the hotel provides.

Breakfast is included in the stay for many visitors, though some observed that while basic, it was adequate and decent. For those opting for alternatives beyond the continental spread, extra charges apply, which some guests noted as being a bit steep. This pricing aspect could be improved, as the full meal options prove to be both plentiful and of good quality, providing a satisfying experience.

Overall, guests appreciate the generously arranged breakfasts and the high quality meals, though portions and pricing might not always align with expectations. Despite occasional remarks on the price, the general consensus is that breakfast at L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur is a comforting start to a day in their cozy accommodations.

Dinner
At L'Auberge Refuge du Trappeur, guests often reflect on the dinner experience with a mix of impressions.

Guests appreciate the well-prepared dishes, with vegetarian options available, and often describe the food as delicious. The beautiful setting of the dinner adds to the overall experience, complemented by the warmth and care of the hosts.

However, the high cost of the meal frequently becomes a point of contention. With a fixed menu priced at CAD 45 per person, excluding drinks, some guests feel the limited choices and average quality do not justify the expense. Comments mention that the menu does not often change, and the portions may be considered small by some, leading to a perception of poor value.

Ultimately, while the dinner can be a delightful culinary experience, diners should weigh the cost against the culinary offerings and consider whether the dining experience aligns with their personal preferences and expectations.
