Ripplecove Hôtel & Spa QUEBEC, CANADA
Set along the tranquil shores of Lake Massawippi in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, Ripplecove Hôtel & Spa offers a refined retreat where nature and gastronomy converge. Just a 90-minute drive from Montreal, this lakeside destination combines serene landscapes with a deep-rooted hospitality tradition dating back to 1945, when it first welcomed travellers. The Eastern Townships are known for their
rolling hills, vineyards and picturesque villages, and Ayer’s Cliff, where Ripplecove Hôtel & Spa is located, sits at the heart of it all. Lake Massawippi, one of the cleanest lakes in Quebec, stretches across the horizon, its calm waters reflecting changing skies and seasons. In summer, guests take to the lake by kayak or paddleboard, while autumn brings a vivid tapestry of foliage that draws visitors from across Canada and beyond. Winter transforms the landscape into a quiet, snow-covered haven ideal for skating, snowshoeing and fireside relaxation. The property blends classic charm with
contemporary comfort. Rooms and suites are thoughtfully designed to highlight the natural
surroundings, with many offering unobstructed lake views, private balconies and fireplaces. For those seeking added privacy, spacious lakeside villas provide multi-bedroom accommodation with access to exclusive amenities, including a spa. Dining plays a central role in the experience.
The on-site restaurant presents seasonal menus inspired by Quebec’s terroir, showcasing local ingredients such as artisanal cheeses, freshwater fish and regional produce. The wine cellar, recognised for its curated selection, complements the cuisine with both local and international vintages. A more casual lakeside bistro offers a relaxed setting, where guests can enjoy oysters, grilled dishes and cocktails overlooking the water. Beyond the property, nearby vineyards and cider
houses offer tastings that reflect the area’s growing reputation for agrotourism. The charming village of North Hatley is just a 15-minute drive away and known for its boutiques and heritage architecture. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot loons on the lake or white-tailed deer along wooded trails, while cycling routes wind through quiet countryside roads.
