Belle de Nuit

Fantastic winter getaway. The location is perfect to access Wakefield Trails and enter Gatineu Park on foot. The owners, Louise and Claude, are the true gems; they are so warm and welcoming, and they go out of the way to add little touches that you would not get at a hotel chain. Louise is an angel! There are ample options for nordic ski, fat tire winter bikes, and snow shoe rentals from multiple companies-- all within walking distance. Belle De Nuit Wakefield Inn is a short walk (10 minutes or less) into town where there are several cute restaurants, cafes & bakeries, live music venues, and other shops. The hot tub was right outside our door and excellent to come back to after all day snow shoe -ing. I loved the little electric fireplace in the Venice room, you don't have to worry about smoke and ash from a log fire, it has a powerful heater built in and it looks way more realistic than some of the built-in fire places you can get. I want one for home! We were pleasantly surprised that our room had a full kitchen with a stove, sink, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, pots, cooking cutlery, coffee, tea, sugar, cream, salt & pepper. The parking spots in front almost all have EV chargers (I think there are 6 or 8 in total). The chargers are not Level 2. In the spring/summer/fall, this is no problem, but if you come in winter and it is negative -20 temps the parking lot chargers will basically give you enough power to keep the battery warm overnight but not enough to actually charge. If you want a Level 2 charger in Wakefield you can go to the Bonet Pharmacy or you can call the Trois Erables Inn which is 1 minute away and ask if you can use their Level 2 charger. We called and offered to pay to use the Trois Erable Inn level 2 charger, and they let us use it overnight for a price -- nevertheless, it is not guaranteed you can use the Trois Erable level 2.

We loved our stay here over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday! Lucie was a welcoming, friendly and accommodating host, the room was spacious and clean, and the house wad quiet. The trees outside the windows are beautiful. What a lovely village and great place to stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to come again the next time we’re in town.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Belle de Nuit! Our suite (The Red Bridge Suite) was very comfortable, overlooking wooded area, featuring a well equipped kitchen, lovely large private deck, quiet, peaceful surroundings, close to all amenities. Very friendly and gracious host. We hope to enjoy a return visit soon.

My husband and I stayed here for our 23rd anniversary, and we would love to go back! My first impression when we stepped into the room was that it was super clean and fresh. The AC was on and easy to adjust with a remote. The decor was classy and not overdone. Everything we could have needed was provided in the kitchenette, and I enjoyed the fresh ground coffee in the morning! We relaxed in our private hot tub when it cooled down outside in the evening and again in the cool of the morning. Belle De Nuit is on a very quiet street, but just a few minute's walk to Wakefield's restaurants and attractions on the Gatineau River. Wakefield Bakery served us tea and coffee with blueberry turnovers which we enjoyed beside the river. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.
