La proprietà — Chalet Bec-Scie
Chalet Bec-Scie is a straightforward, no-frills mountain lodge in the heart of Stoneham-et-Tewkesbury, about 30 minutes north of Quebec City. The airy, wood-clad lobby smells of pine and woodsmoke even in summer, with a crackling fireplace and ski gear piled by the door. It’s best for budget-conscious families or couples who want cheap, easy access to the trails and slopes of Mont-Saint-Anne and Stoneham, not for anyone expecting luxury or resort amenities.
Cronache di Quebec
Quebec City was founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain as a fortified fur-trading post, making it one of the oldest European settlements in North America. Its architecture layers French colonial, British military, and Quebecois vernacular styles, with the Château Frontenac dominating the skyline since 1893. Today, the city is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the cultural heart of French Canada, known for its tight-knit Old Town, winter carnivals, and fiercely independent spirit.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Chalet Bec-Scie, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor at the rear of the building (facing away from Route 138). These upper floors are quieter, and the higher position reduces any street noise from the main road.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms or those facing the front (Route 138 side), especially near the entrance or lobby. These rooms suffer from traffic noise and foot traffic from the lift and reception area.
Best views
The rear-facing rooms (likely overlooking the forest or hillside) offer the best views of the Laurentian landscape, away from the highway. Front-facing rooms view Route 138 and adjacent buildings.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 are the quietest, as they are above the main street level and away from the ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Route 138 is a main road through the region, so daytime traffic noise is possible, especially on lower floors and front-facing rooms. The lift and lobby area may generate intermittent noise on the ground floor. No bar or on-site nightclub is noted, so quiet hours should be decent after 10 PM.
Insider tips
1. Parking is likely free and ample (typical for 3-star Quebec motels), but if you arrive late, request a spot near the rear entrance for easier access to your room. 2. Ask for a room with a mini-fridge if you plan to store snacks – a common request at this level of property, though not guaranteed.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
