Restaurant is really good also but slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyr Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Really nice hotel. Not inexpensive. I have said it before but it borderlines on being "too nice" for a sled trip. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PISTON LAKE CRUISER Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It is right on the trail and I believe is the easiest Hotel/Motel to access in Val D Or. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another vote for being a very nice place to stay.......and it is right on the trail, but you need to make the correct turn when you arrive into town, otherwise, it could be an adventure....maybe we missed the sign as it was dark out...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember White Dragon and crew arriving late, and then meeting you guys, then all of a sudden hitting the sack at 4am, after a outing with White Dragon and crew, and on the sleds at 8am, ride back to Temiscaming, and drive home. Home around midnight, and work the next morning. Yikes. What a great time though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puggz Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Looking at it right now. Looks pretty decent. Any thoughts on when the trails in that area typically turn green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
