Maison Cadorette in Shawinigan

An incredibly great BnB with the best hosts. We were there with 2 children and accidentally booked a room that was too small. So we simply got a large mattress in our room and were able to enjoy our stay despite our incorrect booking. In addition, they have the best breakfast in all of Canada (from a European perspective ). We would like to come back again Nearby activities: National Park Food and drinks: Mega breakfast

Very well located! A stones throw from the Mauricie natural park, in a peaceful corner near the lake. Best breakfast of my vacation. We have two children and each had a bed for themselves, so much appreciated! And there was a play garden not far away. Nearby activities: Hike in the park Food and drinks: Good breakfast

A beautiful little hotel with incredibly nice owners. Everything very clean. We were able to enjoy the pizza there on the first evening, very tasty. Unfortunately the bistro was actually closed because it was already off season. We had THE BEST breakfast here on our entire trip to Canada. Delicious cakes and bread from a café, fresh omelettes and crepes, homemade jam and fruit salad, coffee, tea, yoghurt, juices... The proximity to La Mauricie NP is great. Rooms: Great and clean rooms Nearby activities: Very close to La Mauricie NP Food and drinks: Delicious varied breakfast and great pizza

Exceptional experience Nadine is really friendly, she gave us good advice for our visits to the Mauritie park, with her favorites, which were also ours!! The breakfasts are delicious. The rooms are very comfortable. Top location I highly recommend

Very nice rooms. Friendly and helpful owners. Very good location for Mauricie NP.

The best place to pick up. A caring host. Thank you Pierre for this wonderful (too short) stay.

We stopped for one night in this pretty house, fully equipped and very pleasant. The staff takes great care of us The restaurant is very good and the breakfast is excellent, everything is homemade I recommend this place

We spent two nights in this small, very well-run hotel with beautiful rooms, and very well located next to the Mauricie park. The restaurant and breakfast are delicious. We were very well received there and appreciated the advice for visiting the park.

Warm welcome, sound advice for visiting the region, pretty and comfortable room, excellent breakfast with fresh, homemade products. A great stay.

We came there for dinner it was very good and in large portions

Very good menu, friendly service, relaxing atmosphere around a very pleasant terrace, perfect place to eat after a good hike! Thank you so much!

Thanks to Nadine and Pierre, magnificent place. We had a great time with you. And your staff always smiling. Thanks again

Just stop eating after a day at the park. Its absolutely excellent. The pizza and the chocolate cake, 10/10.

We stayed one night in this location and everything was perfect. The hosts are super friendly and the food is excellent. I highly recommend

Once you have tasted the cuisine of Maison Cadorette, you want to return there often. This is what we do, we want to make the most of the time they are open during the year, the summer season. Whether on the terrace or inside, the welcome is warm and the smile always present. This evening we had a taste of the excellent smoked trout salad from Les Fumées des Mont in St-Alexis-des-Monts. And once again we are not disappointed. A real delight! Don t forget to keep up to date with their festive evenings, shows on their outdoor stage are on the schedule during the summer and there is something for everyone. You will be entitled to a free show, in an intimate and warm atmosphere, accompanied by a campfire and roasted marshmallows. As a dinner-show option or simply for a drink. Which place offers this kind of experience in Mauricie, apart from them you tell me! Let yourself be tempted, go meet Nadine, Pierre and their team, you wont regret. You will do like us and come back as soon as you can to enjoy good times in good company and with real good food!

Very good experience! We stayed one night in this superb hotel, very comfortable (perfect bedding), impeccable cleanliness! We were warmly welcomed by the lovely owners! We had to book last minute and it was no problem. The restaurant is excellent, and the breakfast delicious with homemade products. Nadine took the time to advise us on the park and the places not to be missed, a huge thank you!

We spent two nights at this establishment. We were satisfied on all points. We were very well received. This typical house of the region offers magnificent and authentic rooms, very well decorated. The breakfasts and meals are excellent, everything is homemade with local products, and it s a treat. The owners provide very good advice for activities, particularly Montmorency Park. We highly recommend this establishment If we have to come back we will not fail to book in your house. Thank you all for our stay. We wish you a great season. Very warmly. Martine Francine Olivier and Anaël

Incredible stay in this little paradise. Probably the best welcome we have ever received. I recommend with my eyes closed!

The place is beautiful, the hosts are super kind and attentive. The breakfast was delicious!

An exceptional place! With wonderful people!! Thanks to the owners Nadine and Pierre! My son and I loved our stay! And we will return there soon!!

Great stay in the Cadorette house! The room we stayed in was really cute and comfortable. Thank you to the hosts for their warm welcome , their kindness and all the advice given And what about the breakfast very very good and complete!! Many thanks to you.

Great breakfast, ideal location for hiking lovers in Mauricie, smiling hosts and large room!

To enjoy pastries and coffee, the addition of the little café Le Toaster du Coin is great.

Incredible guest room! The rooms are well decorated, very clean, everything you need is there, the bedding is very comfortable, the breakfast buffet is very good and finally the hosts are adorable and at your disposal!

We were tired from a complicated car journey. We were welcomed with such kindness. They were only supposed to open their door a few hours later. The meal served was simply delicious. Im going back for sure.

Charming place. The hosts are welcoming and friendly. Wifi is precious in this valley with fjord areas. If it matters to you, go to the end of the (superb) terrace, to the round table for the best signal. Food and drinks: Delicious pizza topped with local charcuterie

Great stay (3 days) spent at Maison Cadorette. Very warm welcome from Nadine and Pierre in this very pleasant gîte located a few km from one of the entrances to the Mauricie park. The rooms are comfortable, the service impeccable, the breakfast fantastic and the kindness is there. We really appreciated the discussions about life in the region and the advice given. THANKS !! Food and drinks: Brewery activity on site in the evening after 5:30 p.m.

Nous sommes arrêtées par hasard un samedi après-midi pour dîner et on nous a dit qu il y avait un spectacle le soir. Super belle découverte, super bien accueillies. Pierre et Nadine ont été super gentils. Amelie nous a aussi super bien reçues. Belle ambiance. Je recommande à 100% Prochaine fois, on viendra souper avant le spectacle. Merci encore :)

A dream welcome and a place full of charm. Nadine and Pierre are very attentive and full of good advice. Nice buffet for breakfast and very cozy terrace!

Excellent stay with Nadine and Pierre, everything is there! From the location to the entrance to the Mauricie park, including the superb room with a magnificent private bathroom and the kindness of the hosts. Special mention for the wonderful breakfast made from local products. We highly recommend this place. Rooms: very comfortable

At the gates of the Mauricie National Park, this guest house offers very comfortable rooms. Special mention to the bedding which was perfect. Breakfast with choice.

Excellent stay with Pierre and Nadine! The location is ideal, the room was perfect and the hosts are very attentive! The breakfast based on fresh and local products is excellent. We highly recommend!

Excellent stay! Everything was perfect! The hosts are very welcoming and attentive. The rooms are very well appointed. Excellent breakfast. Good evening meal. We recommend ++

Poor

Charming place, warm welcome. Perfect room, very comfortable. Delicious and plentiful breakfast.

Very good location, very friendly and accommodating hosts, the breakfast is a delight and the rooms are very clean! We had a pleasant stay, thank you Nadine and Pierre!

Excellent stay with our 4 year old little boy: the room (Drave) is very comfortable and well decorated, the place is ideal for enjoying the National Park and above all the hosts are very kind and very attentive! I forgot, the breakfast is very varied and delicious!

We had a very pleasant stay, the owner-operators are great! Very generous and quality breakfasts! And Pierre is a champion of gourmet pizza, a very warm welcome. We recommend this address. Dolores and Pierre

The simplicity and charm of this small inn, located a few minutes from the magnificent national park, makes it a really pleasant stopover! We stayed 3 nights with my family (3 children) and it really felt like home. As a bonus, the kindness of Nadine and Pierre. Such friendly exchanges, the most courteous service. Thank you Nadine takes great care of her customers, advises on the park, prepares good breakfasts and runs her small shop selling local products with heart. Pierre manages the bistro and cooks delicious pizzas. What a pleasure to be able to eat on site after a good day. The evening of our arrival, the bistro being closed, we were able to take advantage of the kitchen to prepare and heat our own meal. There is a garden terrace and a dining room. The rest of the team who help with management are also very friendly and take the time to talk with the customer. (Thanks Theo and Deb, it was fun around the fire ) This is why I love guest houses so much all the humanity and was there!

Positive: clean, breakfast included, good location near the park Negative: Room too small for 3 adults, no sink in the bathroom, bathroom is only built in through a partition that opens at the top, the pizza in the restaurant is not that tasty and there are hardly any alternatives

Breakfast, nice room

Certainly one of our fondest memories in Quebec! Flawless all round: a warm and kind welcome from Pierre and Nadine (and their two French seasonal workers), excellent cuisine (spicy to perfection, and a vinaigrette to die for!), cozy accommodation with a clean and comfortable room. welcoming, a summer evening by the fire outside, expert advice on walks and activities, top-notch background music, a very rich boutique, an ideal setting just a stones throw from the Parc de la Mauricie ... in short, an unforgettable two-night stay with our 2 daughters! Thank you for these memories we recommend 300%

B&b well located at the exit of the Mauricie park. Spacious room with renovated bathroom and little touches (free beers, etc.). Proximity to the road but quiet. The b&b has a shop selling local products and a restaurant. The owners (the manager was director of the park) but also the employees are adorable. Especially our French waitress!!! The breakfast is very good and worked. Small downside: the bedding is soft and not very comfortable. I recommend!

Located 4km from La Mauricie National Park, Maison Cadorette is the ideal place to stay for a few days in the area. The owners are very welcoming and do not hesitate to reserve restaurants for you. The rooms are very cozy, everything is very clean and the breakfast is generous. Without hesitation.

Une maison tellement chaleureuse où on se sent chez-soi. Des hôtes très accueillants, discrets, qui font tout pour nous gâter. Des petits-déjeuners extra, un feu de bois à lextérieur comme à lintérieur. Plusieurs espaces pour relaxer. Une magnifique boutique. Vraiment, 3 belles journées qui donnent le goût de revenir en dautres saisons. Merci ++++ à des propriétaires de coeur!

A hostel where life is good! We loved Nadine and Pierres hospitality with so many thoughtful touches. The rooms are very comfortable and access to the Parc de la Mauricie is very close, what could be better. Looking forward to coming back

An enchanting place, clean, maintained, you feel at home. Gold owners, A1 Covid level, I slept beautifully. Thank you!

We had a very pleasant 2 night stay at Maison Cadorette. It is very clean, comfortable and well appointed. Homemade lunches are hearty and delicious! Just a few minutes drive from La Mauricie Park. To discover!

Very nice place! The room was really nice, we barely heard the other guests. The breakfast was perfect, plentiful, with lots of homemade things and different products from one morning to another. The place has adapted really well to the current context thanks to private spaces per room. 5 minutes from La Mauricie Park. A great value for money that we will talk about! Nadine and Pierre are also very responsive by email.

Superb place I cant wait to go eat pizza, sleep and go canoeing on a lake in the park

Charming relaxation spot 10 minutes from La Mauricie National Park. Nadine and Pierre are courteous and charming owners, always ready to answer our questions and assist us if we need them. Superb lunch perfect to start a day of hiking and climbing at the park. Hats off to the measures taken during the pandemic, everything was so well organized that we hardly saw anyone even though the house was running at 100%. We will definitely come back to Maison Cadorette for our next stay in the Mauricie region.

Super nice place, whether for accommodation, to have a meal, or simply to appreciate the service and welcome of the owners. During your visit or stay in St -Jean des Piles, a stop is essential at La Maison Cadorette.

Very kind. Local beers.

I love this place!! Wonderful!! The owners are very welcoming.

Simple, welcoming and authentic are surely the best adjectives to illustrate this place. We loved our stay. We will come back for sure!

Friendly welcome, nicely decorated room, very clean, comfortable bed. Delicious meal. Quiet place.

The location is 5/5 a few minutes from La Mauricie Park. You have the option of eating at the restaurant or sleeping at Maison Cadorette. We did both and it was a great experience for us. We slept in the Portage room which has a large comfortable bed, a small private bathroom and a small refrigerator. The service is exemplary, the owners (Pierre and Nadine) are very kind and will chat with you, give you advice, respond to your needs, etc. Lunch (included in the room price) consists of cheese, fruit, muffins, banana bread and sometimes even pancakes in self-service mode. The food is excellent (pizza specialty) in the restaurant as well as the local micro-brewery beers (Trou du Diable). Ideally, you should make a reservation at the restaurant as places are limited. Perfect for having a relaxed atmosphere when returning from a long day at the park!

We went Monday for dinner and bed. Comfortable and peaceful room. Nice hostel with a beautiful terrace with outdoor bar for cocktail hour and dinner. Excellent background music everywhere. Pierre and Nadine are charming..

Pizza cooked in a wood oven... Hmmmm... delicious

A relaxing place, warm welcome, super good meals and lunch Beautiful little hostel go there you wont be disappointed

Very warm welcome and the pizzas are delicious. We had a great time at Maison Cadorette.

A truly extraordinary place! We loved our stay at Maison Cadorette; Nadine and Pierre, hosts, work hard to provide exceptional accommodation. The room La Drave was very beautiful and clean. The bistro downstairs has a nice selection of beers and has this super cool, relaxed little vibe. The house is very well located near the entrance to La Mauricie Park (literally 5 minutes by car). We would happily go back! Thanks to Pierre, Nadine and the whole team at La Maison Cadorette

An excellent place! Very clean and quiet. Products made by hand using argan oil can be found in the bathroom. Breakfast is out of the ordinary: fruits are fresh, healthy choice for all tastes (from vegan to keto). Coffee machine worthy of a great restaurant! Large selection of delicious homemade pizzas for lunch/dinner. A magnificent terrace to have a beer and a green courtyard behind to spend some quiet time. Installation to repair your bike. Hassle-free parking. Proximity to several activities. The owners are very kind and warm.

Very beautiful

An incredible hostel! We were so well received, the rooms have incredible charm, everything was very clean, the bed very comfortable, a very generous breakfast! And only 5 minutes from the entrance to the Mauricie National Park! We will definitely come back here!

Great place to stay with friends when doing outdoor activities. The formula offered is perfect.

Really great I recommend this beautiful, clean and warm place

A super warm place, very very adorable, friendly owner. The best veal rice with a very tasty sauce. I recommend this wonderful place.

Delicious! own! welcoming and warm! I adore!!!

Very friendly new owners. The place is magnificent. I highly recommend.

The restaurant no longer exists but the rooms are still available Large and functional. Well located 400m from a good little restaurant le petit canot which also serves a very good breakfast

At the gate of the Mauricie park, the establishment is very well located 5 minutes from the park entrance. The new owners are extremely kind. The rooms are renovated, clean, spacious and comfortable. A kitchen is available for cooking or a small restaurant next door where you eat very well.

Very pleasant house at the gates of the Mauricie park, Pierre the owner is very friendly. The house is very clean and the kitchen is functional with everything you need for breakfast. However, the rooms of 4 are a little small for 4 adults (prefer rooms with private bathroom)

Fine cuisine

Nowhere in Canada have we ever tasted such exquisitely prepared food. Very tasty. On the menu: bison, deer, elk, pheasant, guinea fowl, quail, various fish, homemade wine - everything is delicious! The cook is the owner of this guest house with a restaurant and speaks English. His wife speaks French, but despite this, we were able to communicate. Very friendly. We also recommend the maple syrup pie. Many thanks to the hospitable hosts for our short stay (2 nights)!

Rooms with plenty of space and a refined style. The simplest and most friendly welcome to quickly make you feel at ease. Tip: taste the refined and varied local cuisine with excellent value for money

I appreciated the welcome, the comfortable rooms, the restaurant on site and the old charm of yesteryear.

Very nice place.

Delicious!!

Very warm welcome. Very good cuisine. The rooms are very good. An excellent stay

Comments from our meal: Less than warm potato gratin and crunchy, undercooked potatoes. Cold garnished vegetables. And especially the request for a tip by the owner, I am very shocked by this request. Tips are intended for server employees who are generally paid minimum wage so they supplement their salary. But for an owner to ask for a tip, I have never seen that, having traveled to many countries around the world, it seems abusive and inappropriate to me.

We loved our experience at Maisson Cadorette. The house is very picturesque with that particular Quebec style... we were served by a very endearing lady and the staff was very familiar and attentive. The decorations of the rooms are average, although they have all the comforts. The breakfast was undoubtedly the best, of which I leave some photos. The dining room where we had breakfast was beautiful. The only thing that could be improved about this place is that it only has two nearby places to eat or dine, but it is an ideal place if the idea is to visit the Maurice National Park, as was our case. Overall very good experience

Nice place
