Such a fun stay! Charming location, and the food was amazing. Great staff who worked hard to overcome our language barriers. We appreciated the fact that we came to their home, having a limited grasp on their language, but they still worked hard to accommodate us. Hopefully we get to stay here again.

Great location, great staff, a good seaside stay!

Good location, friendly staff, a bit noisy, would benefit from sound proof insulation in the floor over the bar downstair. Since bed was not the most comfortable, don’t be afraid to ask for extra pillows. Staff was amazing!

The picture shown of the property is not the property I stayed in. Very misleading!!! The property is not on the beach. It's in a residual/business area a couple of blocks from the waterfront. I chose a private room which I liked but it was above the outdoor dining area of the pub below so noisy & cigarette smoke until 11 p.m. I couldn't open my windows which was very uncomfortable since there's no air conditioning & my stay was in July. Staff was nice (men only). Breakfast was included-continential.

Accueil chaleureux, localisation de rêve au bord de l’eau et très bon resto-pub sur place si l’on décide de se gâter un peu. À noter que la Secousse est à 3 ,5 km de pointe au bic où se trouve la gare du train de Charlevoix. Mais la marche au bord de l’eau est magnifique et peut-être considérée comme une activité à faire absolument.

Beautiful location. The kitchen is a little run down but overall the property felt safe and well run. I speak minimal French and even the francophone staff tried their best to communicate with me. The bar on the main floor was great to grab a drink from and had a lovely patio looking over the river. I was always able to find parking on site.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à l’Auberge La Secousse ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis dès notre arrivée à 15 h. En arrivant, nous avons rencontré les deux chiens de l’auberge, qui étaient adorables, affectueux et très gentils. L’auberge est bien équipée avec un beau bar, une terrasse et un foyer extérieur (accessible moyennant un frais de 10 $). Notre chambre disposait d’un lavabo et d’une douche privés, ainsi que d’une terrasse offrant une vue partielle sur le fleuve. La salle de bain partagée avec quelques autres chambres était toujours propre et nous n’avons jamais eu à attendre pour l’utiliser. Les espaces communs et les chambres étaient propres, confortables et bien entretenus. Les oreillers étaient un peu trop épais à notre goût, mais après une simple demande, le personnel nous a fourni des oreillers plus minces qui étaient parfaits. Une couverture supplémentaire était également disponible dans le placard. Le bar propose plusieurs bières locales ainsi qu’un bon choix de cocktails. La jeune barmaid nous a offert un service exceptionnel tout au long de notre séjour. Nous avons également soupé sur place et la nourriture était excellente ! Des jeux de société sont mis à la disposition des clients. Notre favori a été sans aucun doute le jeu « Trou du cochon », qui nous a bien fait rire. L’emplacement est parfait, avec une magnifique vue sur le fleuve. Il y a un stationnement sur place ainsi que beaucoup d’espace de stationnement gratuit dans la rue à proximité.
