The McGowan Inn opens its doors to a living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a bar, where you can enjoy a drink or a good coffee. The adjoining dining room, completely glazed, and the large terrace offer a magnificent view of Lake Memphremagog. The Inn also offers a private room that can accommodate a group of 12 people for a meeting or for a meal taken in complete privacy.
Local products are featured, including fine herbs from the Inn's garden and organic vegetables from the Jardin du Quartier, which holds a farmers' market on Saturdays in Georgeville.
Auberge McGowan is described as a stunning lakeside retreat with a recently renovated, stylish interior and breathtaking views over Lake Memphremagog, providing a setting that elevates every meal. The food generally earns high praise for quality, flavor and careful presentation, with diners enjoying everything from brunch and lunch on the terrace to refined dinners and a well regarded table d'hote, though a few notes mention small portions for the price and some inconsistency on off nights. Service is repeatedly described as warm, attentive and professional, yet a number of visits flag occasional delays, less refined service during peak times, or menu rigidity for vegetarians. The terrace ambiance is a highlight, often described as serene with sunsets, though summer evenings can bring loud live music on the terrace that makes conversation difficult. Overall, the location, decor and cuisine combine to make it a memorable experience worth returning to despite occasional price concerns and brief service snags.
Un détour qui a su me charmer par ce site impressionnant à la fois historique. Ce bâtiment a été bien restauré avec un décor majestueux surtout un accueil chaleureux offrant une ambiance apaisante. J'offre une touche spéciale d'un cocktail dégusté avec plaisir & sa saveur m'a ravie par sa douceur & l'arôme en bouche WoW! C'est réellement une belle découverte Au plaisir d'y retourner.

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

La restauration n'est absolument pas à la hauteur de ce qu'annonce l'auberge. Je suis allé pour le petit déjeuner avec une amie. Elle se fait dire que dans son plan le bacon ou saucisse peuvent être éliminer du plat mais ne peut être substitué par quoi que ce soit. Pour moi, une des pires omelettes à vie. (Surcuite, aucun lien entre les ingrédients & l'omelette elle même.) bacon aussi rigide qu'une planche de bois. Belle vue oui, mais elle est aussi belle de la route.
Had a great supper at McGowan House. Location is amazing, ate outside on their amazing deck. Food was perfect, we had food Gras, pizza as well as the Moules & fries. Wow, highly recommended. Service was friendly & very efficient
Superbe souper avec une vue sur le lac, le petit port & les montagnes. L'assiette de moules frite avec pain français. & service 5 étoiles, quoi demander de plus Nous reviendrons.
