Tucked away on the tranquil shores of Lac Massawippi in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, Manoir Hovey is a historic gem that artfully blends the grandeur of a country estate with the intimacy of lakeside living. Nestled among the lush forests of the Appalachian foothills, this Relais & Châteaux property transports guests to a world where timeless charm meets modern sophistication.

Originally built in the early 20th century and lovingly maintained by its family owners, Manoir Hovey exudes warmth and character in every detail, from the vintage artifacts that adorn its 52 elegantly appointed guestrooms to the thoughtful touches that make every guest feel at home. With panoramic views of the lake and surrounding nature, it’s a sanctuary designed for renewal and escape into breathtaking nature.

Beyond its storied walls, Manoir Hovey invites guests to immerse themselves in the rich culture and flavors of Quebec’s unique terroir. Days can be spent paddling across the pristine waters of Lac Massawippi or wandering nearby agrotourism trails like the “Cheesemaker’s Circuit,” indulging in artisanal cheeses and meeting the local craftspeople behind them. For those seeking history and serenity, a visit to the nearby Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac offers stunning architecture and tranquil walking trails.

Back at the estate, the culinary offerings take center stage, with Le Hatley Restaurant showcasing fine dining that celebrates the seasons through dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients—harvested from nearby waters, fields, and forests. For something a little more relaxed, Le Tap Room offers cozy fireside dining or al fresco meals on the terrace, including their acclaimed Abenaki poutine.

We are delighted to congratulate Manoir Hovey for their recently awarded Two Michelin Keys, and celebrate this distinction with our neighbours as a shining example of world-class hospitality, and congratulate the exquisite work of the team at the estate that creates such a warm experience for their guests. With the winter season approaching, the landscape will be transformed into an enchanting retreat, complete with twinkling gardens, festive celebrations, and the magic of snow-dusted landscapes. Whether exploring the region’s cultural richness or unwinding in the estate’s lakeside spa, Manoir Hovey offers an experience that is as unforgettable as the setting itself.
