Nice sweet stay! Belle nuitée!
We found it crowed with eclectic objects but it’s sweet and clean. Lots of cats for cat lovers! Nice environment! A Mexican worker made our stay more enjoyable! On a trouvé qu’il y avait beaucoup d’objets éclectiques, mais quand même bien! Bel environnement et pour les amateurs de chats, vous serez servis :) Une employée Mexicaine a agrémenté notre séjour!

Though we were the only English speakers in residence the owner was bilingual enough to communicate. Very quaint place in rural area. Breakfast made daily by owner and it was a treat. Definitely would go back.

The owner of the property said that she never received any booking request from expedia. So late in the night, we, a family with a 5 year old and a 66 year old were left stranded. After over 2 hours of frantic calling and hunting for hotels in 2 different towns, almost giving up, we luckily got a room in a much expensive hotel after midnight. I want not only a refund, but also compensation for the extra stress and unsafe conditions from expedia. What's the point of receiving an email with wordings such as "you don't have to call the hotel to confirm your booking" when the hotel owner says she never received any booking request. What's the point of being an Expedia "member" when there is not even a phone number to reach a call center employee? Really horrific experience.

Catherine nous a accueillis chaleureusement dans cette belle auberge pleine d'histoire. La bâtisse et la déco sont très belles et la chambre très confortable. Nous avons également apprécié le petit déjeuner basé sur un choix de crêpes. L'endroit est très paisible et l'atmosphère est relaxante, on se sent bien. Il y a également des animaux, chats et chien à l'intérieur et les poulettes et canards dehors. L'auberge est située à plusieurs kilomètres de la baie Saint Paul dans un endroit isolé, très calme.

Personnel sympathique, déjeuner avec crêpes délicieuses et chambre confortable. Point négatif pour nous : Un peu plus loin de la ville et malgré que j’aime les chats un peu trop pour moi (4). Si ce n’était Pas de cela, ce serait un bel endroit à séjourner.

Much overrated accomodation except for the quality of the breakfast which was excellent. Don't get fooled by the photo. The reality is a far cry from what is advertised. If you don't mind the overwhelming smell of cat's litter in your room, along with the single ceiling light switch located outside the room (yes) and connected to the ceiling fan, and if you don't mind driving eleven kilometers out of town in the middle of nowhere in the back country to get to the premises, an owner too busy in his garage to greet you when you arrive, well go for it. But definitely not our cup of thea!

Very comfortable and charming. Dakota was a delight, serving breakfast a half hour early to make sure we didn’t miss out when we had to check out at an early hour. And oh were the crepes worth it! The auberge seemed kind of far off the beaten path at first but was really only ten minutes outside Baie Saint-Paul. Baie-Saint-Paul was much more of a scene than we’d expected- wish we’d allowed more time for it! I would definitely stay here again

This B&B does not provide enough toilets and shower facilities for the number of guests they host. Lineups to use the bathrooms in the middle of the night and too long a wait to use the shower which we gave up eventually. There is no air conditioning in the place, only one little window for some air to enter. They provide a fan to circulate the air. Breakfast was somewhat decent, very little choice of proteins, mostly carbs. I was dumbfounded when the owner asked for a tip when I settled my bill.

Restfull sleep
Well maintained old house. Despite the cats on the presises the house is very very clean. The queen size bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast is very good and the owners are warm and friendly. All the rooms very occupied and the house was quiet. Only draw back is the shared bathroom for some rooms.

Weekend Stay
Auberge Carpe Diem is a nice place. The couple running it are very nice and the breakfast was very good. If you have any cat allergies, do not stay here as there as numerous cats in the Auberge. Also, our room was one of three that shared a bathroom, so something to think about.

Excellent Experience
Super old but very well kept home in B n B style. Quiet, clean and comfortable. A little off the beaten track but for a romantic getaway, its perfect. Elegantly decorated with period pieces and run by a very nice couple. If you are skiing at Massif, this is one of the closest motels to the slopes. There are 2 small towns within the same the same distance to massif as Carpe Diem with many motels but I am certain that none of them have the charm and feel of this one. Morning breakfast come with a nights stay and it was prepared with care and served individually for each guest. VERY impressed. One heads up to consider. If you are allergic to Cats or do not like cats, Carpe Diem may not be for you. There are many cats around but despite that, the hotel is very clean and the cats well groomed and well mannered. Highly recommended, especially for couples.

Stayed at the Carpe Diem while skiing Le Massif (15-20 min away). Catherine's breakfast crepes were amazing and Stéphane was a great host. Would definitely go back the next time we are in the area.

Nice Stay for Ski trip to Le Massif
Our family of 4 stayed here for 3 nights during our ski trip to the Massif de Charlevoix. The auberge was simple & cozy, the room was very clean, comfortable and spacious (2 Queen beds and private bathroom). Wifi worked great. The owners are very nice and accomodated us with earlier breakfast so we could get to the hill for opening time. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed a very nice gourmet dinner during our stay. It's bit out of the way, roughly 25 min. from Baie St-Paul but it's a very easy drive to the hill (which is what we wanted). It is surely a picturesque area in all seasons and the charm of this Auberge will definitely please those who are looking for a quiet getaway.
