🚨 Damage protection – peace of mind included 🚨
To ensure a hassle-free experience, accidental damage protection is included as a fixed amount per night.
It replaces the traditional security deposit and covers accidental damage up to $50,000 for eligible stays.* Very few accommodations offer this type of protection!
The result:
✔️ No security deposit required
✔️ A simple, guided process in case of the unexpected
✔️ A seamless, elegant, and uncompromising experience
Because luxury is also about peace of mind. 😇
Although this protection generally replaces the security deposit, we reserve the right to require an additional deposit in certain specific situations, assessed on a case-by-case basis. This measure is rare and purely preventive.
*Certain conditions and exclusions apply. Details available upon request.
🏡 A cottage… in a nature resort
When you stay at Wapiti, you also enjoy the Domaine du Grand Portneuf, a true forest resort:
- 2 heated pools (June to September)

- 12-person outdoor spa (open year-round)
- lounge with pool table (open year-round)
- children’s play areas (open year-round)
- forest hiking trails (open year-round)
👉 A perfect balance between a private cabin and a resort experience.
🟢 Respect for nature at the Domaine du Grand Portneuf
Please note that grass maintenance around the cottages is intentionally limited. The Domaine prioritizes preserving the site’s natural beauty and aims to minimize noise pollution caused by lawnmowers. This eco-friendly choice helps create a peaceful environment in harmony with nature.
