We celebrated our son's 18th birthday & had a lovely dinner in the Inn. Although we did not stay over, the restaurant & bar were beautiful, & the service was great. I hope to return in the summer when we can experience more of the view.

I had lunch with my husband & friend on Friday. We were so pleased with the whole experience! The setting was beautiful with a view of the lake & the restaurant was quiet. So happy there was no loud music playing as some of us have hearing issues. We were able to enjoy our conversations. Thank you! The food was delicious with 2 having the fish & chips (beautiful piece of cod with a light crisp batter) & I had the gnocchi with wild mushrooms, peas & pancetta. Excellent! With a glass of wine it was the perfect lunch. This is the third time since July that my husband & I have brought friends & dined at Auberge McGowan. We will definitely be back to enjoy a winter meal. Hopefully in front of your fireplace. Here is a picture from our July lunch.

Unfortunately must revise my review after years of dining at the Inn as a result of finally staying there. It seems for such a small inn there's a lack of communication & poorly run administration & service. The inn attempted to charge for more nights then actually stayed, need to show them evidence of the date called to confirm the reservation. Then after requesting that they prepare the sofa bed from my children to sleep in as we were arriving back late after a wedding, coming back to the room quite late to find it was not done. & there was no linen in the room to do it myself. A single kitchen staff member still onsite cleaning provided some linen. This was completely unacceptable for an inn of this caliber. I requested that the Manager call be back to discuss this when speaking to staff, & that call never came. The lack of accountability an unprofessionalism seems to be consistent. I would not recommend anyone to stay here. As for the restaurant, great spot for lunch with a great view of the lake. We've been here many times throughout the summer & it's always just as charming as Georgeville itself

This hotel is beautiful. The beds are comfy, the decor is nice & the view is stunning. So, I was surprised to note that the service was no match for the aesthetics. For the money we paid per night (approx $400/night), I would have expected maybe a bottle of water in the room, or not to be balked at when I asked for extra towels, or have the room serviced/clean or, at the very least, have someone come in & empty the garbages. They should tell the customers that once they check in, that's where the service ends.

Auberge McGowan is a charming retreat known for its exceptionally friendly service, which creates a warm & welcoming atmosphere. The small, family-owned nature of the establishment enhances this feeling, allowing for personalized attention & a sense of intimacy that larger hotels often lack. Nestled on the waterfront, the setting is both serene & picturesque, offering guests beautiful views & a tranquil environment. It is an ideal spot for my 50th birthday. Thank you for welcoming my entire family & we will definitely come back on a yearly basis.

The new Auberge ‘cGowan has no soul, the menu is just plain weird, pizza, lamb it just doesn't make any sense. The food is just OK not at all inspiring. It is like you don't know who you are , the place looks very classy & upscale BUT the food is NOT or menu selection.

It is the country should you not offer more local seasonal selections not fancy but great? Lunch you do a better job on menu.
Don't try to make it stuffy , people want to relax enjoy good food & enjoy the views etc etc.

I hope this helps because it just isn't working well right now.
