ROMANTIC GETAWAYS

The Hidden Resort on
a peace of mind lake
"where you ask?" in Labelle, Quebec

Blueberry Lake Resort
Anthony Verombeck, editor, WHGROOM

In driving to the Blueberry Lake Resort in Labelle, Quebec, from Toronto last summer, we wanted to view the Ontario country side along our way to our romantic weekend holiday. It was a joy to see the many changes and new developments along the way. After a few coffee and washroom breaks we drove into Quebec. It was clean driving all the way. It’s an easy route, Hwy. 401 East to Quebec. We pulled into an information station for directions and was handed a new free map, along with a warm smile. We also learned the French word for north - nord.

On our way to Labelle in the Mont Tremblant Laurentians region on Hwy. 15 we did have some stops and gos because of new highway road work. So even if you where to fly into Mont Tremblant International airport you would be in traffic for a little inconvenience. So bring your water and shakes with you. It took us just over eight hours after stops to rest, view the mountains and smell the fresh air of the Laurentians - there’s nothing like it in this whole wide world.

When we drove up to the Blueberry Lake Resort we were amazed that it was just like the photos. Wow what a development. It’s a private hide away and one of the most magnificent and natural surrounding of any resort I've seen.

The log style homes are state-of-the-art luxury and have all the bells and whistles including kitchens, bedrooms, internet, washer, dryers and your own style movie room. Some homes come with hot tubs. All you are going to need are your groceries that you can pick up on the way to the resort.

On our first night we had the pleasure to dine with our host Chef Jean-Michel Potier, who is from France, the real thing. Let me tell you this, he created the best mushroom soup I have every had in my many travels. The menu changes every week, and each meal is made fresh. For you wine lovers there are many to choose from the best of the best. When the restaurant is open their catering options include in-house Chef and catering for pre-prepared menus.

We went for a swim at the private lake on the resort, don't forget to bring sun screen, and was so pleased that there wasn't any noise from jet boats. This is a peace of mind lake to relax, paddle, swim in the pool or lake, play tennis, or go kayaking, fishing, biking or just explore the woods and sounds.

The resort's weekend packages include activities and catering. On-site includes spa packages, tennis, volleyball, outdoor swimming pool, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, water skiing, mountain biking, children’s play area, ice skating, cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, tobogganing runs, ice fishing. Off-site the resort can organize seasonal packages for Alpine skiing, rafting, ATV, snow-mobiling, dog sledding, horse riding and more …

If you decided to go, enjoy your stay and experience a whole new level of relaxation.
