Das Eigentum — La Cache à Maxime
La Cache à Maxime occupies a converted early-20th-century general store, its original wooden shelves and tin ceiling intact. The lobby smells of pine and old paper, with a creaky floor that announces every arrival. It appeals to travellers who want a base for exploring rural Quebec without anodyne chain-hotel comfort; think road-trippers, antiques hunters, and cyclists on the Route Verte.
Chroniken von Scott
Scott, named after a New England railway contractor, began as a whistle-stop on the Grand Trunk line in the 1850s. Its few surviving buildings date from the late 1800s, when logging and a short-lived cheese factory drove the economy. Today the village is a quiet bedroom community for nearby Saint-Georges, with most land given to dairy farms. The old railway tracks have been pulled up and paved into the Beauce Vélo-Route, and the town's identity remains tied to its agricultural surroundings, not tourism.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Scott-Guide →Die besten Monate
June to August: reliably warm, with high temperatures around 25°C and long daylight. July and August are best for cycling and the weekend farmers' markets in Saint-Georges (5 km south). Crowds are modest outside Saint-Georges' Fête du Lac des Nations.
Peak / Festival Surge
July: the Saint-Georges area sees a spike during late July's Fête du Lac des Nations (fireworks, concerts, food stalls). Hotel prices in the region rise 15–25% for that weekend, and La Cache à Maxime may be fully booked by late June.
Budget Schulter Saison
Late May and early September: temperatures still hit 20°C, rain is less frequent than in October, and accommodation rates drop 10–15%. The leaves start turning in late September, but the village is empty mid-week.
Wetter & Verpackung
Summers in the Beauce region can swing from humid 30°C afternoons to cool 12°C evenings in one day. Pack a light fleece or long-sleeve layer and a waterproof shell, regardless of the forecast.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Cache à Maxime, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor (the property is a single-storey motel-style building, so first floor is ground level) facing the rear, away from Rue Drouin. This gives you the quietest position.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid any rooms directly facing Rue Drouin, as this is a local road with some traffic noise, and the property’s main entrance and parking are on that side.
Best views
The best view is of the open fields or wooded area behind the building – there is no notable view from the front onto Rue Drouin, which is a standard suburban street.
Quietest floors
This is a single-floor building; all rooms are on ground level. The quietest are those at the back of the property.
🔊 Noise notes
Traffic on Rue Drouin is the main noise source, particularly in the morning and late afternoon. The property has no bar or restaurant on-site. Occasional guest noise from the parking area can reach front-facing rooms.
Insider tips
1. Park around the back of the building if possible – there’s usually a rear lot that’s quieter and more secure. 2. Check in before 6pm, as reception hours can be limited at this 3-star property in a small town; if you’re arriving late, call ahead to arrange key collection.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
