The Auberge is the largest cottage at Dorval Lodge — and likely the one where the most memories are made.
It’s the cottage families reserve to gather together. The one groups of friends choose for their annual fishing trip. The one companies use to reward employees or host a team event in a setting that stands apart from the usual.
With 12 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a powder room, 2 fully equipped kitchens and 2 BBQs, the Auberge is designed for large groups who want to stay together without feeling crowded. The space is generous. Everyone has their own area. And in the evening, everyone comes together.
The Auberge includes 12 bedrooms arranged to offer maximum flexibility:
Total capacity: 24 guests. Minimum rate is based on 15 guests — this minimum applies even if your group is smaller.
The Auberge is more than just a large cottage. It’s a true group lodge designed for full autonomy:
Like all Dorval Lodge cottages, the Auberge operates on a European plan. You bring your own food — and with two kitchens, there’s plenty of space for everyone to cook at the same time without crowding.
There’s something special that happens when a large group shares the same space in the heart of nature. Conversations last longer. Meals are more generous. Fishing stories get better.
The Auberge is popular for:
When three generations want to reconnect away from the noise. Grandparents fish in the morning with the grandchildren. Parents take the pontoon out in the afternoon. In the evening, everyone gathers around the same table with fresh walleye on the plate.
The classic. A group of 15 or 20 returning each year for their annual fishing trip. For many of our guests, it has become a tradition. Some groups have been coming back for more than 10 years.
For employers looking for something different. No beige conference rooms. No PowerPoint. Just the reservoir, nature and a shared experience that strengthens connections more than any traditional team-building activity.
With 15 to 24 guests in one cottage and boats on the reservoir, conditions are perfect for a friendly competition. Biggest walleye. Largest pike. Catch of the day. The Auberge is the ideal base for it.
This is our most requested cottage for large groups. Popular weeks fill up season after season. If your group has 15 guests or more and you know when you would like to visit, we recommend checking availability early.
