Resort Living with American Influence.
Nestled advantageously north of Lake Massawippi, where it meets the river of the same name and surrounded by mountains, the site of the village of North Hatley is remarkable for its morphology.
Homes and a few shops are arranged along a narrow shore or on the slopes of the surrounding mountains, forming a vast amphitheater where, here and there, amid dense forest cover, the white splashes of luxurious residences stand out.
From the village, a wide panorama opens onto Lake Massawippi, a vast body of water oriented in the same direction as the Appalachian Mountains.
The tradition of resort living in North Hatley has been established throughout the 20th century, making it a sought-after destination for its scenic qualities, tourist facilities, and the high quality of its inns.
As an example, mention should be made of the Manoir Hovey, open since 1900, internationally renowned and a 5-star property, part of the Relais & Châteaux group.
