🚨 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.



🚵 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.

The pool is open from June through September, while the hot tubs and sauna are available year-round :)
