What a gorgeous property! I was nervous about my terrible French speaking, but they were warm, helpful, and responsive. Everything, from the pool to the boats were well taken care of and easily accessible, and there was so much to do that was included with the stay that saved me money, like not having to rent a kayak. The restaurant and service are top notch, and the bed/room are very comfortable and cozy. Can't wait to spend more time there.

Ripplecove hotel is where to be if looking for a luxurious, quiet, romantic and a relaxing spot with an incredibly breathtaking view. The location is everything my husband and I were looking for to reset before summer ends. The newly renovated downtown Orford is 15-20 minutes away and there you’ll find a great park, bar and restaurants if you wish to wonder around a little bit and Sherbrook 30 minutes away. Then again Ripplecove has everything you need to not go anywhere else. Le Riverain a beautiful restaurant with a great view of the lake that provides excellent service and a very nice bar both right on site. Though, I will not recommend the spa as the experience we all have in our head about a spa is not there unfortunately. The elements of a spa experience is missing. Everything else at Ripplecove is absolutely amazing. Hubby and I cannot wait to go back; we found our spot for our yearly tradition of a quiet/romantic getaway. P.S. I believe and give benefit of doubt. However, I don’t go anywhere without scrolling up and down reviews. Therefore, I will always be honest when giving reviews about a place to help others. Can’t wait to go back.

We stayed in one of the new 3-bedroom villas, and it exceeded expectations. The view out to the lake from the multiple balconies was beautiful, and we had a well-equipped kitchen to cook meals. The hot tub was an over-the-top benefit that I didn't expect. The property itself is beautifully maintained and we were able to take out bikes and kayaks and peddleboats. Lovely!

Peaceful setting and beautiful nature on the lake. Nice front desk people able to quickly resolve issues. A few missing kitchen items were quickly delivered brand new in boxes. The 3-bedroom villa was perfect for the family of 5. Good selection of paddle boards and kayaks, although the kayaks could use some periodic washing to remove the crusty mildew. Overall, a good 5-day stay, exept for a strange encounter with a consierge who said that "the villas are not in his inventory and are for sale" and he was not helpful.
