C'était notre deuxième séjour au Chaudiere Lodge et nous y retournerons chaque été. La pêche y était tout simplement exceptionnelle. La nourriture est fantastique ; je repense à ce déjeuner sur la rive tout l'hiver. Les gens (personnel et clients) sont incroyablement sympathiques ; on se sent comme en famille dès qu'on passe à table. Mon père et moi y étions allés l'été dernier, et cette année, nous avons emmené mon copain. Nous avons tous passé un séjour formidable et nous ne tarissons pas d'éloges sur cet endroit. On reviendra ! 🎣🌅

Nous avons passé quatre jours le mois dernier à pêcher avec des amis. C'est un endroit idéal pour se détendre, la nourriture est excellente et l'hébergement correspond parfaitement à ce que l'on recherche dans un lodge de pêche. Nous avons discuté un moment avec Chris sur le quai, de la pêche et de l'endroit en général. On sent que tout le monde y prend vraiment plaisir et cela se ressent dans l'expérience. Nous reviendrons l'année prochaine, c'est certain !

Expérience fantastique ! Nous étions quatre et avons séjourné dans un chalet impeccable, doté de tout le confort nécessaire. La véranda était un vrai plus, surtout à cause des moustiques ! Le personnel était exceptionnel : Riley, Peter, Mallory, Gabriella… toujours souriants et serviables. Bill, notre guide de pêche, nous a emmenés pêcher le brochet et nous a préparé un déjeuner digne d'un grand restaurant. La location des bateaux le deuxième jour était très abordable et ils ont parfaitement fonctionné. On réserve pour 2026 !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Chaudiere Fishing Lodge. L'hébergement est assez classique pour un lodge de la French River, mais il nous a amplement convenu. La nourriture était excellente, avec un bon choix au dîner. Le déjeuner sur la rive était délicieux ; bravo à Billy, Pete et Corey pour l'organisation ! Corey était notre guide et il était formidable. Son bateau était équipé de nombreux jouets de pêche de qualité, ce qui nous a permis de faire de belles prises toute la journée. Il avait plein d'anecdotes à raconter et, en résumé, c'était un guide exceptionnel. Je le recommande vivement.
