A one-hundred-twenty-four-room Ascend Collection resort hotel adjacent to Mont Orford Provincial Park, with indoor pool, tennis courts, a sauna, a kids club, and the most consistent mid-segment family resort operation in the Townships.
"The most workmanlike family resort in the Townships, run with the kind of operational steadiness that an Ascend Collection franchise demands. The kids club, the pool, and the tennis courts are the reasons to book."
Hôtel Chéribourg sits on chemin du Parc, on the eastern edge of Mont Orford Provincial Park and ten minutes by car from the village of Magog. It is a low-rise resort built in stages from the late 1980s on a former farm site, with a central lodge holding the reception, restaurant, and pool, and a series of villa-style room wings stepped down the slope behind. The property has operated as part of Choice Hotels' Ascend Collection since 2021, which has lifted the booking infrastructure and the housekeeping audits to international franchise standards without altering the property's working character as a four-season Quebec family resort.
The 124 rooms and suites run across three categories. Standard rooms (28 to 32 square metres) hold a queen or two double beds and look out across the woodland or the property's central lawn. Suites add a fireplace and a sitting area, and the largest family suites in the villa wings include kitchenettes, two bathrooms, and connecting room options for parents traveling with three or four children. The interior package is muted Quebec country rather than design-led: cream walls, oak laminate, dark linen, and a single accent of plaid throw. Maintenance is the property's quiet operational strength. Rooms read cleanly and stay quiet at night despite the family clientele.
The resort grid is the second reason to book. Two outdoor tennis courts, a heated indoor pool with a separate children's section, a Jacuzzi, a Finnish sauna, a fitness room, complimentary bicycle rental in summer and a free ski shuttle to Mont Orford in winter cover the typical family programme. A kids club runs weekends and school holidays. A small spa with three treatment rooms operates by appointment. The restaurant runs three meals a day on a Quebec resort menu with a children's card; the lounge runs an après-ski programme in winter. The kitchen has a long-running Choice "Guest Welcome" award and a regional Townships designation.
The location is the third pillar. Mont Orford Provincial Park abuts the rear of the property and gives direct access to a network of hiking, biking, and cross-country ski trails. The Mont Orford ski lifts are six kilometres away and reachable by the property's free shuttle. Magog and the western shore of Lake Memphrémagog are ten minutes by car for beaches, restaurants, and the wine route. The Townships' largest network of meeting rooms (six rooms, capacity to 250) makes Chéribourg the regional booking for mid-size corporate retreats and weddings outside the resort luxury segment. Service is well-trained and consistent rather than personal at the scale of the operation.
For a Townships family weekend or a week of summer camp-style activity programming, Chéribourg is the strongest mid-segment booking in the region. The kids club, the indoor pool, the tennis courts, the bicycle rental, and the direct access to Mont Orford Park make the property work for children aged four through twelve. Book a family suite for the kitchenette and the two bathrooms.
Chéribourg is the regional booking for a small to mid-size corporate retreat or training. Six meeting rooms, a full audio-visual package, dedicated event managers, a 250-person plenary capacity, and accommodation on-site for an executive team make the property quietly the best Townships address for an offsite outside the luxury segment. Pair with the Mont Orford trail network for the team-building leg.
For a low-key family wellness break that does not require the structured programming of Spa Eastman, Chéribourg pairs the indoor pool and small spa with direct access to the Orford Park trail network for hiking and cross-country skiing. Best as a two- to three-night reset for parents traveling with children who need their own programme.
