Great value, great people.
Excellent experience at La Maison Rose Alma. Super clean, helpful and friendly staff and a great home-made breakfast!
My husband and I had the great fortune to spend 5 days at this lovely B&B while we toured the Eastern Townships. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience and we so look forward to returning there for a future stay. We had 2 different rooms over our visit and both were lovely and well appointed. I looked forward to the home made granola each morning and my husband devoured the home made chocolate pastry daily. I loved the soap that owners Yves and Mylene created and bought some to use at home. Daily chats with Yves were fun and helpful -- he provided us with good tips on what to see in the area. I was sad to leave this wonderful home that really felt like a home away with breakfasts treats to delight all and a most comforting and welcome environment. The beautiful craftmanship throughout the house speaks to the skills and talents of this couple who renovated it and supplied it with so many handmade and home made additions. If you have the chance to stay at this inn, don't give it up -- it's well worth it in so many ways!!

We have no connection, but I'm almost hesitant to review because Rose Alma was so good that this might not sound authentic. We've visited coast to coast all of Canada and the US in our van and never had a better experience because the owners are artists of life and really putting their creativity into making the best possible B&B stay in every way they can imagine. The quick summary is that the digs are truly artistic, the food is gastronomically magnificent (home-made), and the hosts' responsiveness is perfection, all for about the lowest price around in their endeavor to create really something out of their own ground-up inventiveness Doubt the possibility? Consider their backgrounds as certified trilingual translator, award-winning stand-up comic, expert organic nutritionist, distingujisted member of the Army, author of a political memoir on Wilfred Laurier, seven year veteran of a professional kitchen, motorcyclist travel writer, master carpenter/plumber/electrician, martial artist in the Shotokan/Judo/Kempo styles, professisonal success in an Improv Ligue. etc. Sound dilletantish? Not if you track high high intelligence from core values of Quebecois childhood (Rose Alma is the grandmother) held to duty by truly true francophone parents of the land out into the world where every opportunity has been grasped. While others flip channels these creatures of creation recycle the likes of discarded doors into works of art. My father wrote the gude to style for what was then the largest American corporation and would have been astounded to enter a plain exterior to find, for example a room with 4 walls of four different muted colors to create an artistic effect. And the home-made blueberry scones are just as beautiful. The key to this surprise is that the owners take the ethic of a very traditional martial art to improve one's self every day and apply it to their business. You may find some things for you that are not perfect, but beware writing about it because before you are in print, they may have stepped ahead, as we saw when a guest doubted the spirit of trust and lamented the lack of an improved door lock; such was installed the next day. For us there was imperfection too because I am under doctor's orders to have a spare diet but these down-to-earth Quebecers had me eating one of their pains au chocolat four days running.
