Comfort and Nature close to civilization. You will be enchanted by the original architecture and the soothing energy of this sumptuous backing onto the wooded area. Everything is focused on comfort: chairs, beds, couch... even the counter stools! And what about the lounge chair in the living room: lying down while watching nature, the fireplace and the latest blockbuster will lead you directly into the arms of Morpheus :) When you wake up, you'll be happy to see that it's not all a dream ;-)
Here are 3 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our villa:
1 - OUTDOOR activities AT PROFUSION nearby!
The Bras-du-Nord Valley (20 min from the chalet) is a pure outdoor destination! When you think of mountain biking in Quebec, its name naturally comes to mind! 100 km of "singletrack" mountain biking, from beginner to advanced.
In addition, it offers one of the most extensive networks of hiking trails in Quebec. With its 80 km of developed and marked trails, a wide range of choices is available to you depending on your level and the type of hike you desire.
Finally, the Bras-du-Nord River offers a beautiful territory for canoeing and kayaking, the Valley's pioneer family activity. You will come across fine sandy beaches along the way, allowing you to dock if necessary and enjoy the sumptuous scenery. A 17.5 km escapade to be explored!
Golf lovers, discover Le Grand Portneuf, a magnificent 27-hole course adjacent to the Domaine! Bordered by the Portneuf River and set in a landscape of valleys and hills: a natural beauty.
Come and discover the beauty of this beautiful region!
All the details concerning these activities will be given to you before your arrival.
Not to mention that you are only 25 minutes from Quebec City: stores, boutiques, restaurants, architecture, Old Quebec, etc.
You will have access to the best of both worlds!
2 - A domain offering an inspiring environment for TAKING IT EASY while enjoying COMMON FACILITIES, just like at the hotel.
The Domaine du Grand Portneuf is an exceptional resort to get away and recharge your batteries. After a walk along the shaded paths leading to the Portneuf River, enjoy the heated pool or relax in the all-season sauna and jacuzzi. Then, enjoy "l'apéro" in the central hall while playing a game of pool before retiring to the privacy of your cottage.**
Please be advised that this is not a hotel and that there are no employees on site to welcome you or answer your specific requests.
The pool is operational from June to September, while the hot tub and sauna are open all year round :)
3 - A MUFFLED, MODERN and COMFORTABLE cottage
Whether you are relaxing in the living room by the fire or around the large kitchen counter with your guests, you will appreciate the cozy atmosphere of this refined cottage. The privacy and comfort are optimal for long stays. Indeed, the 2 bedrooms are equipped with comfortable queen size beds and each has its own bathroom.
It is essential that you know that the property is located near a busy road. We can therefore hear the traffic, mainly during the day. However, you will notice that the asking price (which is more than reasonable) for this elegant home takes this factor into account. Nevertheless, if you are allergic to noise, this cottage is not for you. This is what we call being both far and close to civilization ;-)
Let's move on to the main advantages offered by this home:
- high-speed 100 Mbps WIRELESS INTERNET!
- Cable TV (CBC, TVA Sports, TSN...) and SMART TV in the living room allowing the broadcasting of your subscriptions NETFLIX, YouTube and other apps

- Sofa bed in the living room, but we recommend it only for children...
- 2 luxurious bathrooms
- Washer and dryer: very practical when you stay several days
- Very large patio with BBQ, patio set and your own private hot tub :0
