Chute de La Riviere Portage Tours

Everything was simply easy thanks 😊 until next time

The apartment is fabulous, so clean and neat. We were wowed by how beautiful it is - modern yet classic. But the area surrounding has multiple homeless shelters and it felt unsafe certain times. We were yelled by a street musician/homeless person to fxcking go back to China on the street of the loft. I live in Toronto so not a stranger to homelessness and don’t live in a bubble - but the degree of problem here is still quite the shock. If you identify as visible minority please consider other areas to stay.

Beware booking in shoulder seasons. We were so disappointed to arrive and find that everything we saved and booked to enjoy was closed. No canoes or kayaks. No bikes. No forest canopy activities. Hot tub open only three hours and lukewarm with no willingness to adjust temps. It was a gorgeous warm sunny fall week. We missed everything by two days and spent a lot of money to be in a hotel room and go for walks. The resort basically closes Thanksgiving weekend. It was a sacrifice to save and spend here and we came from a long distance. The website did not make obvious that everything was closed; it was deep in several pages in small print. I spoke directly to the front desk several times before booking to confirm other details and no one mentioned anything. There was a large and loud elementary school group doing all the “things”, but regular guests were not allowed. The place was basically empty except a few couples. We were really disappointed. The food and restaurant service are excellent. I really appreciated the service staff.
