Magog Vacation Rentals

A town in Quebec's Eastern Townships, Magog has long served as a scenic getaway for New Englanders and Montrealers thanks to its ski resorts, gastronomic escapes, and outdoor fun. Discover it all with great local accommodation like a bed and breakfast or a cozy vacation home.

Food in Magog: More Than Poutine and Maple Syrup

Québécois fare and a top choice wine list awaits at Plaisir Gourmand. Treat yourself to a gourmet menu with offerings from locally-sourced ingredients. Elsewhere, Microbrasserie La Memphré's inviting atmosphere appeals to beer connoisseurs, and Burger Pub in nearby Orford is a hit with the aprés-ski crowd.

Visit the Le Cep d'Argent and Chemin de la Rivière vineyards, located near the banks of Lake Magog. The former, run by sixth-generation champagne makers, offers splendid vistas that are worth the trip.

Art and Cabaret in Town

You'll be charmed by Magog's downtown core, filled with art galleries, indie boutiques, and cafés. MIANM (Musée International d'Art Naïf de Magog) is home to nearly 850 artworks by over 270 artists from 34 countries. It's Canada's only museum wholly devoted to naïve art, which are creations by artists with no professional training.

Once dusk falls, catch a spectacle at the cabaret-style Vieux Clocher de Magog concert hall. Housed in a former 19th-century church, the venue is one of Quebec's finest, hosting comedy and musical acts with a regional focus.

Magog's Beautiful Lakes and Mountains

Hop onboard the Grand Cru cruise boat for an excursion on Lake Memphremagog, the "Jewel of the Eastern Townships." Maybe you'll spot the lake's legendary monster, Memphré! Just 10km outside Magog is Mont-Orford ski resort, where alpine skiing, rock climbing, paddling, and hiking pursuits keep visitors thoroughly entertained.

The Marais de la Rivière aux Cerises is a birdwatcher's heaven, comprising woods, marsh, and spectacular forest trails. There are also ecological horticulture gardens, and you can experience the park's biodiversity with a kayaking tour.
