Private spa & luxury 12 people - near Quebec City

Summary:

Le Petit Frontenac — the prestige of Old Quebec... in the heart of the forest.

Just 40 minutes from the Château Frontenac, this high-end Scandinavian-style cottage redefines the experience: impressive spaces, a private spa, an open mezzanine, and spectacular views of nature. Here, you don't just visit Quebec City... you stay there, enjoying the same feeling of exceptional luxury — but in your slippers.



The Space:

*** A modern castle with a natural twist ***



Le Petit Frontenac is not a replica... it is an interpretation.

Like its famous neighbor in Old Quebec, it was designed to bring people together, impress, and create lasting memories—but in a setting of forest, silence, and absolute comfort.



Cathedral ceilings, Scandinavian architecture, high-end materials, and spectacular windows: nature becomes your living room, from morning till night.



*** Designed for entertaining (and staying a while) ***



Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests:



- 4 closed bedrooms

- 2 king beds + 3 queen beds + 2 single sofa beds (or one queen-size)

- 2 bathrooms + powder room on the mezzanine

- washer and dryer (ideal for long stays)



The large round table quickly becomes the heart of the living room—because a true shared moment always begins around a table where everyone can see each other.



*** Chef-worthy kitchen ***



Large, luxurious, fully equipped kitchen:



- Quartz countertops

- Dishwasher

- 2 refrigerators

- Keurig + filter coffee

- Ample prep space



Whether it's brunch with the family or dinner with friends, you'll never run out of space... or inspiration.



*** Damage Protection – Peace of Mind Included ***



To offer you a seamless experience, accidental damage protection is included through a fixed nightly amount.



It replaces the traditional security deposit and covers eligible accidental damages up to USD $50,000 for qualifying stays.* Very few properties offer this level of protection.



The result:

✔️ No security deposit required

✔️ A simple and structured process in case of an incident

✔️ A smooth, elegant, and worry-free experience



Because true luxury also means peace of mind. 😇



Although the protection generally replaces the security deposit, we reserve the right to require an additional deposit in specific situations evaluated on a case-by-case basis. This measure remains rare and preventive.

*Certain conditions and exclusions apply. Details available upon request.



*** The pleasure of a cottage... without compromise ***



Everything has been designed for a stay that is as enjoyable to experience as it is to share:



- air conditioning

- high-speed wireless Internet

- 2 x 65" TVs with cable (sports included)

- office space for teleworking

- pool table convertible to ping-pong on the mezzanine

- foosball

- games & books



Here, evenings are spent in the heart of the cottage, not in an isolated basement.



*** Signature exterior ***



- Private 6-person spa

- BBQ

- Patio set + conversation area

- Fire pit with Adirondack chairs (May to October)



A perfect place to end the day... as the forest quietly falls silent.

🟢 Respect for nature at Domaine des Villas Scandinaves

Please note that grass maintenance around the chalets is deliberately limited. The Domaine prioritizes preserving the natural beauty of the site and wishes to minimize noise pollution caused by lawnmowers. This eco-friendly choice helps to provide a peaceful environment in harmony with nature.



🚧 Construction in the neighborhood

Construction is currently underway in the neighborhood. Work began in February and, according to the information we have received, is expected to last approximately 3 to 4 months. It is therefore possible that you may occasionally see or hear some activity during your stay, mainly during the day on weekdays.
