Auberge La Cache Inc.

This was my first time traveling the cote de Nord (route 138), and it won’t be my last. The journey was topped off here at the amazing auberge La Cache. The property, and the building itself are very well kept, and beautiful. There is a large closed In gazebo to relax in after a day of exploring that has a propane fire to keep you warm. Inside, the rooms are up to date, beds and pillows are very comfortable. Everything is clean, with not a spec of dust or a hair anywhere. The kitchen and breakfast area are also extremely clean and well laid out. The chefs cook VERY good meals. A full hot/cold Breakfast is included with your stay with many options. A 3 course Supper is available at a reasonable additional cost, well presented, and good portions. The hostess, and all the employees there are very accommodating and helpful. All in all myself and my travelling partners had a great time and a 5 out of 5 experience. If you’re looking for a place to stay at the end of route 138, look no further. This is it.

I stayed here solo in October while the weather was still fantastic and I had an amazing stay. The hostess is incredibly friendly, bilingual and helped make my experience here way above expectations. I asked for dinner as well as breakfast as there isn’t much choice this time of year when staying in the area, yet they don’t take advantage of you and provide hearty meals at fair prices. My room on the second floor had a great view and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to stay here again the next time I am staying here in the Cote-Nord.

The auberge is located on the east far end of the village. It was pleasant and very clean. The host was pleasant. Very good amenities.The continental breakfast was good with homemade jams. The host also offered scrambled eggs. About 5-10 minutes walk to the cafe L'Echouerie. Expensive however (over $200 for two including taxes).

Four years ago we visited the unique village of Natashquan and stayed at Auberge La Cache. We had another great experience. Friendly,immaculate, great location, the rooms were redone and they were lovely. Natashquan is a beautiful village on the North Shore of the St. Lawrence where Rt. Q138 ends. It is a small village so we are so lucky to be able to stay there because it is a very comfortable, modern inn. Great breakfast with the hostess's own lovely berry jam ( the area is known for great berries). Terrific WIFI. Great inn, in a unique village, on the North Shore of the river which is simply a beautiful location.

The auberge is located at the far end of the village, pretty much the last house on the left and very easy to recognise from the picture on their website. Last time I came, the sat-nav took me past the village and directed me into a swamp, but this time it was pretty much accurate so it may be worth making sure your maps are up to date particularly if arriving at night as it is quite easy to miss in the dark. The auberge is fairly modern, and in winter anyway, seems to cater to visiting Hydro-Quebec engineers and travellers stranded by delays to ferry crossings, apart from stray visitors like us. The rooms are simple and clean, and the facilities fairly basic. They serve a good hearty breakfast (extra), and are prepared to go out of their way to help (breakfast was served at 4am on my last visit for a man planning to drive all the way to Ottawa in a single day). Otherwise you are pretty much on your own. In winter there is a depanneur, but no restaurants open, so you have to bring your own food. We did, and had ourselves a picnic in the lounge area, aided by one of the brothers than run the place, and who provided a lot of interesting background on life in that part of the world. In summary, It is not cheap at $154 per night, but I would say it is a lot better than you would normally expect from such a small and remote place.

Clean & pleasant, but far too expensive for a 2 star hotel ($180 a night single, taxes included). Fast Wi-Fi, continental breakfast included.||||There are many B&Bs and gîtes in this town for $50 to $80 a night, but they are not listed here on TripAdvisor. Google "Natashquan lodging" and you will find them.

We stayed at Auberge La Cache for 3 nights. Immaculate, pretty, great location, generous, delicious breakfast and best of all the warmest, most friendly and helpful,managers. We felt so welcomed. We loved Natashquan and Auberge La Cache. Incredible area.

I had to cancel my trip and called the auberge ahead of the cancellation date and they still charged me the full fee. I called twice to complain and nothing was done about it. I was disappointed and will likely never book there again.
