Nature Is Your Playground
At Manoir Hovey, the outdoors begins just beyond the door. Between Lake Massawippi, the surrounding forests and the rolling landscapes of the Eastern Townships, every season brings a new way to move, explore and enjoy the fresh air.
Cycle along a country road, snowshoe through freshly fallen snow, play a match on our lakeside tennis court or spend the day on the mountain. Adventure here can be as leisurely or as exhilarating as you choose.
Take the Scenic Route
The Eastern Townships reveal themselves differently from the saddle of a bicycle. Quiet country roads, villages, rivers and forests create a landscape made for exploring without any particular hurry.
Complimentary bicycles are available to our guests for discovering the area.
A Match by the Lake
Overlooking Lake Massawippi, our historic clay court — one of the oldest in Canada — offers a setting beautiful enough to make you want to play just one more set. Enjoy a few rallies in the morning sun, work on your backhand or simply savour the rare pleasure of playing tennis at the water’s edge.
Play the Townships
With rolling terrain, forests and sweeping views, the Eastern Townships provide a naturally beautiful setting for a day on the course. Several acclaimed golf courses are within easy reach of Manoir Hovey, including Mont-Orford, Milby and Dufferin Heights. Our team will be happy to assist with the details of your day, from tee times to transportation and equipment.
See It from Above
Discover the Eastern Townships from an entirely different perspective. From above, Lake Massawippi, the surrounding mountains, forests and villages unfold into a spectacular landscape stretching toward the horizon. Take to the skies on a scenic seaplane flight and experience one of Quebec’s most beautiful regions from above.
“The Eastern Townships are best discovered with a little curiosity and no need to rush.”
Marc-André Blais, Clefs d’Or Concierge
Winter from the Top
When snow blankets the Eastern Townships, the surrounding mountains become an extraordinary winter playground. Several ski resorts are within easy reach of Manoir Hovey, with terrain for every level, from sweeping runs to snowy glades and beautiful views across the Appalachians.
Spend the day on the slopes, then return to the warmth of the Manor for a fireside moment, a visit to the spa and a memorable dinner. Winter doesn’t get much better than this
