After your excursion in the wild Bras-du-Nord Valley or in the picturesque Old Quebec, you prepare the meal in the well-equipped kitchen along with your favorite aperitif, and then settle in comfortably in your SPA, bordered by the beautiful nature. Once dinner is ready, you light up the fireplace for a warm and gathering atmosphere in the company of people you love. Nothing is more rejuvenating and re-energizing than a stay at La North Star, while gazing at the starry sky!
Here are 3 THINGS PEOPLE LOVE about our NORTH STAR cottage, away from the everyday:
1 - a VOLUMINOUS, MUFFLED, INTIMATE cottage with a gorgeous view of the forest!
From the moment you arrive, you will be impressed by the airy rooms, the astral lighting and the beauty offered by the countless windows overlooking the forest. The luxury continues with the intimate SPA, where you can contemplate the stars ;-) In addition, it is the most intimate cottage of the Domaine since it is located at the end of the road.
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 chalet.** In addition, about 100 meters from the central hall, you will find an outdoor playground for your children to enjoy.
Please note 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 - 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!
