A Hudson institution since 1820, Auberge Willow Inn sits on rue Main with Lac des Deux Montagnes just steps away, close enough to the water that several of its ten individually designed rooms look straight out over it. The property has gone through many lives over two centuries, and the current owners have preserved its heritage bones while updating the rooms with warm textures and considered furnishings. Common areas include a parlor, a library, and a garden terrace. Concierge service, free parking, and seasonal packages round out the offer. At 45 minutes from Montreal by car or reachable by Exo commuter train, it works equally well as a weekend escape or a base for exploring the Vaudreuil-Soulanges region.
