Your journey
Arrival on Lake Massawippi
Drive east from Montreal through the rolling Eastern Townships — the white-columned manor appears above the lake as you descend into North Hatley. The setting announces the register immediately: this is country-inn Quebec at its finest.
Lake afternoon
Collect a kayak or canoe from the lakeside dock and paddle Lake Massawippi's clear water — or settle into an Adirondack chair above the shoreline with the hills on the far side turning colour. In winter, the same trails become cross-country ski and snowshoe routes through the estate forest.
Spa and pool
The spa offers body treatments and facials grounded in Eastern Townships botanicals. The heated outdoor pool is a centrepiece in all seasons — steaming against crisp autumn air, or a long summer afternoon float with lake views.
Dinner at Le Hatley
The MICHELIN-recognized dining room overlooks the lake through tall windows. Chef's seasonal menus draw on regional Quebec producers — the progression of courses unhurried, the wine list extensive, the setting appropriate to the occasion.
North Hatley village
The village of North Hatley — one of Quebec's most charming English-speaking communities — is minutes from the manor: galleries, a historic theatre, antique shops, and the particular culture of a town that has welcomed artists and writers for generations.
About

The property is surrounded by lush forests and tranquil waters, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation and rejuvenation. Guests can indulge in a variety of experiences, from luxurious spa treatments at the on-site Spa Manoir Hovey to savoring exquisite cuisine at the acclaimed restaurant Le Hatley.

Whether you are enjoying a quiet evening by the fire or exploring the surrounding outdoor activities, Manoir Hovey provides a sanctuary where guests can unwind and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.
Manoir Hovey's story begins with its architecture. The manor was built in the 1890s in deliberate homage to George Washington's Mount Vernon estate — a white-columned, symmetrical neoclassical vision that gave the property its distinctive character and its orientation toward Lake Massawippi. It was an unusual choice for a Quebec hillside, but one that has defined the inn's identity ever since.
