L’Auberge McGowan ouvre ses portes sur un salon avec foyer au bois et un bar, permettant d’y prendre un verre ou un bon café. La salle à dîner attenante, complètement vitrée, et la grande terrasse offrent une magnifique vue sur le lac Memphrémagog. L’Auberge propose également une salle privée pouvant accueillir un groupe de 12 personnes pour une réunion ou pour un repas pris en toute intimité.
Les produits du terroir sont à l’honneur, dont les fines herbes du jardin de l’Auberge et les légumes bio du Jardin du Quartier, qui tient un marché de producteurs les samedis à Georgeville.
L'expérience à l'Auberge McGowan est signalée comme exceptionnelle par son emplacement spectaculaire au bord du lac Memphrémagog et son décor harmonieux qui met en valeur la vue; la nourriture est souvent décrite comme excellente et le service, globalement attentif et professionnel, mais quelques critiques pointent des améliorations possibles: menu peu flexible pour les végétariens, plats parfois servis tièdes, et des prix relativement élevés, surtout pour la table d'hôte ou certains plats à la carte. L'endroit est aussi apprécié pour la qualité du cadre rénové, les chambres et suites spacieuses avec vue sur le lac, et l'ambiance sereine sur la terrasse lors des repas en plein air; les expériences nocturnes peuvent varier, avec des nuisances comme une musique forte en été mais compensées par le charme du site et la constance du service. En somme, c'est un lieu recherché où l'on revient pour l'emplacement, le cadre et la gastronomie, malgré quelques bémols ponctuels et le souci de flexibilité du menu.
Great lunch with a great view in a beautiful setting. Our first time back since it was newly renovated. Exquisitely done. The service was outstanding. Highly recommend.
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.
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.

Beautiful building, inside & out. Beautifully situated by beautiful Lake Memphremagog in beautiful Georgeville. Great lunch, great service. What more could one ask for!!
We had a wonderful weekend. The space is beautiful & the rooms were very comfortable. If I could offer a few suggestions to make the stay 5 star it would be to have bar sized refrigerators in each guest room & housekeeping daily to refresh towels & clear out dirty dishes. Also, decaffeinated coffee pods in the rooms would be great as well. Looking forward to returning!

We had friends from out of town & the music was so loud, we could not hear each other talk. That is my only criticism. The atmosphere was beautiful. We got the table by the window. The food was fabulous,especially the gnocchi
What a beautiful renovation! Representing the History of Georgeville & the Inn with black & white photos from the mid eighteen hundreds offers Guests an experiance beyond Culinary. Definately a five star event. Everybody was so friendly, our waiter in particular. The food was delicious. & the View!! Wow.
We've eaten indoors & out on the Terrace, both Venues excellant. Once we even had outdoor Entertainment, an enhanced experiance for sure. We will be back for sure with friends & Family, to pass on the word.
Beautiful setting, wonderful re-do of the former inn. A brunch menu would have been nice, but the lunch menu selections were good. Service was pleasant.
This was our second time in the beautifully renovated Mc Gowan. This location is unique & magical. Although we have some nostalgia for the old rustic McGowan, we feel the new building & decor is a great addition to the area & a wonderful tribute to Georgeville. The food was excellent, fish was cooked just right, as were the companion vegetables. However, there remains much room for improvement on desserts. The sound level is a bit too high for comfortable conversation
