Natalie and Pierre are first rate hosts. Their building, celebrating the region's canoe-building and canoeing heritage, is very comfortable. And breakfast is as good as it gets. Natalie, as the former Parks Canada superintendent for Maurice National Park, has a wealth of advice to offer on getting the most out of an underrated national park just a few kilometres down the road. In season, they have a pizza bistro, and the little town of Saint-Jean-des-Pils has some nice bars and good dining.
