Auberge des Eaux Vives

We stayed here for two nights on our visit to the region. We stayed in the spacious room with a view over the St. Lawrence River and en-suite bathroom. The king sized bed was comfy and there were ample pillows (not always the case when traveling). The whole inn is appointed in a casual but tasteful vibe and the breakfasts overlooking the river were great. Thank you for a great stay, Sylvain!

Spectacularly clean, friendly, well-appointed house with the most magnificent view. Our host Silvain saw after every possible aspect of our stay. The four-course breakfast, served in a magnificent dining area, was beautifully presented and extremely tasty. We loved our stay and would like to give it 10 stars if there were!

My husband and I were primarily visiting Montreal and Quebec City but rented a car for three days so we could visit La Malbaie, Saguenay and the Parc du Jacques Cartier. When we saw the listing for this bed and breakfast, we immediately booked a room. We chose the king room with a fabulous view of the St. Lawrence River. Our host, Silvain, was very welcoming and helpful. He and his wife prepared delicious breakfasts for our two mornings there. It was very quiet, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom had everything we needed. I would recommend this inn to couples wanting to experience great service and lovely surroundings.

We stayed at Auberge des Eaux Vives in October and had the most amazing stay. Our room was wonderful, the scenery was excellent, and Sylvain was an incredible host. The standout of our stay was definitely the breakfasts! They really were next level. Auberge des Eaux Vives is at the top of our list of guesthouses to return to.

This was our 6th stay out Auberge des Eaux Vives and every vacation we have spent there has been delightful. Sylvain and Johanne have created a true oasis where you can enjoy awesome breakfasts to start your day, easily drive to the beautiful parks and attractions in the Charlevoix region and relax in a peaceful setting any time of day. If you’re up early, on most days you can catch beautiful sunrises over the St. Lawrence River from their perch on the hillside overlooking the Cap-a-l’Aigle Marina. It’s a short 5-minute drive to La Malbaie, with its many restaurants and pleasant waterfront parks. The Cap-a-l’Aigle Gardens, which has flower gardens and a pathway along a small stream with cascading waterfalls, is only a 10-minute walk from Auberge des Eaux Vives. Over the years Sylvain has recommended many wonderful restaurants and provided guidance on sights to see in the area – his recommendations are always spot on. As for Johanne’s breakfasts, you must experience them to truly appreciate what she does; creative combinations of ingredients, artistically presented, something different every day and always well balanced (the breakfasts are so satisfying, we often skip lunch or have something very light). We usually stay 7 nights at Auberge des Eaux Vives when we visit Charlevoix, and we are amazed at how consistently excellent our experience has been. We couldn’t think of any place we’d rather stay when we are in Charlevoix.

Exceptional stay in a tastefully decorated inn. The views will take your breath away, and the warm welcome (and amazing breakfast cooking) from the hosts will make your stay simply perfect. Will definitely go back to this place in summer time to enjoy more of Charlevoix.

Nous avons eu le privilège de passer 2 nuits dans le meilleur B&B qu'il nous a été donné de fréquenter lors de nos nos divers périples à travers le continent nord américain. Ici vous êtes au Québec et cela fait déjà une différence de taille. Vous y ajoutez une maison superbe, un endroit qui surplombe la Saint-Laurent et, last but not the least, un accueil royal. Nous sommes plutôt avares de compliments en temps normal. Ici ce serait de la pure malhonnêteté de rester pingre en la matière. Sylvain a été littéralement aux petits oignons pour tous ses hôtes. Ajoutez au lieu des petits déjeuners somptueux et vous comprendrez notre enthousiasme, Notre seul regret ... il souhaite démarrer un nouveau projet :-(. Nous lui souhaitons plein succès.

Ce B&B est bien situé avec vue sur le fleuve, la baie ainsi que la petite Marina. Les chambres sont confortables et bien aménagé. Plusieurs sections de séjour dans les salons pour votre intimité de couple ou famille. Seulement une chambre à un petit séjour/boudoir pour que vous puissiez apporter votre matelas gonflable pour seulement un enfant. Vous pouvez déjeuner soit à l’intérieur ou sur leur magnifique terrasse. Très bon déjeuner quatre services. Les hôtes sont extrêmement discrets. On vous explique le fonctionnement de la maison et des chambres et par la suite les autres vous laisse votre discrétion. L’établissement est à vendre espérons que les nouveaux propriétaires feront la même vocation de B&B.

Wir waren drei Nächte in dieser traumhaften Unterkunft mit einem perfekten Gastgeber. Die Lage direkt am St.-Lorenz-Strom ist unschlagbar. Das Haus und die Gästezimmer lassen keine Wünsche offen. Es ist so geschmackvoll und mit viel liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Das Frühstück wird mit Freundlichkeit und Humor serviert und ist ausgezeichnet. Es gibt sehr guten Kaffee ☕️ und wir sagen ein großes Dankeschön
