Our visit was on a cold April night. It was raining throught the day from Ottawa to Montebello. On arriving you are bewildered y the size of this log building from the outside.

Great resort near Ottawa. Giant log cabin with huge fireplace in the middle of the lobby. Great staff, the food was fabulous, and they even have a canine ambassador, Monte, who is also very friendly! Rooms are well appointed and comfortable, resort-style. More

This a beautiful hotel reflecting the beauty and rustic charm of Canada's early days! Plenty of things to do in any season for both children and adults alike. Lovely pool (indoor and outdoor) sprawling gardens and walking/hiking trails, great musical entertainment, attentive staff and fabulous food nestled in the foothills of the Laurentians. A must do!
