Le Baumier - Put Down Roots for a While

Summary:
Coffee with a view of the trees. A day exploring the trails or perfecting your golf swing. Then the pleasure of coming together, preparing a delicious meal and slipping into the hot tub.

Welcome to Le Baumier, an upscale chalet at Domaine du Grand Portneuf in Pont-Rouge, near Quebec City.

Named after the balsam fir found in the region’s forests, Le Baumier extends a simple invitation: settle in, take a breath and enjoy time together.

The Space:
🌿 Woodland Privacy with Resort Amenities

Le Baumier enjoys a particularly appealing location: at the end of a cul-de-sac, with no neighboring homes behind it or to its right.

The elevated setting overlooks the woods, creating a sense of seclusion and an open view of the trees. Glass deck railings preserve the forest views and enhance that wonderful feeling of being perched among the trees.

You’ll enjoy the amenities of a vacation resort while staying in a more private setting for your time outdoors. Other chalets are nearby, but this location gives you a little extra breathing room.

Feel tucked away… without being far from everything.

🫧 A Private 6-Person Hot Tub with a Forest Backdrop

Here’s where you’ll want to linger a little longer.

Set into the spacious deck, the private 6-person hot tub invites you to unwind after a hike, a bike ride or a round of golf.

The surrounding outdoor spaces offer plenty of ways to enjoy your downtime:
• A bistro table beside the hot tub for coffee and conversation
• An outdoor gas fire pit with Adirondack chairs for gathering around the flames
• A BBQ grill for outdoor cooking
• A side terrace with a dining table and 6 chairs

While dinner sizzles on the grill, some can enjoy a soak while others settle in by the fire. You don’t need a packed itinerary for a great evening.

🏡 Room to Come Together

Beneath the cathedral ceiling, the living room, dining area and kitchen form one spacious, open-concept gathering space.

Scandinavian-inspired architecture, natural light and warm, modern décor make it easy to linger: cook while catching up, stretch dinner into the evening or bring out a board game when the weather calls for a day indoors.

In the living room, a gas fireplace and 55-inch TV create a welcoming spot for quiet evenings.

The mezzanine, open to the main floor below, provides a second sitting area with a TV—ideal when some guests want to watch a movie while others keep the conversation going downstairs. Access to your own streaming subscriptions, however you must use your own account for streaming services requiring a subscription.

🍽️ A Kitchen Made for Long, Leisurely Meals

• A large breakfast bar with seating for 4

🛏️ Sleeps Up to 10, with 3 Main-Floor Bedrooms

The chalet is well suited to getaways with family and friends, with the following sleeping arrangements:
• 3 separate bedrooms on the main floor, each with a queen bed
• 1 queen sofa bed in the living room
• 2 single sofa beds on the mezzanine

You’ll also have 2 full bathrooms on the main floor and a half bathroom on the mezzanine.

🚨 Damage Protection — Peace of Mind Included 🚨

To make your stay seamless, accidental damage protection is included for a fixed nightly fee.

It replaces the traditional security deposit and covers up to $50,000 in accidental damage for eligible stays.\* Very few vacation rentals offer this type of protection!

What this means for you:
✔️ No security deposit to pay
✔️ A straightforward, structured process if something unexpected happens
✔️ A smooth, refined experience without compromise
Because luxury also means peace of mind. 😇

While this protection generally replaces the security deposit, we reserve the right to require an additional deposit in certain situations, assessed on a case-by-case basis. This remains a rare, precautionary measure.
*Certain conditions and exclusions apply. Details available upon request.

🟢 Respecting Nature at Domaine du Grand Portneuf

Please note that grass cutting around the chalets is intentionally kept to a minimum. The resort prioritizes preserving the site’s natural beauty and reducing noise from lawn mowers. This environmentally conscious approach helps maintain a peaceful setting in harmony with nature.

Explore Portneuf Your Way

🚵 Mountain Biking, Followed by Downtime at the Chalet

Plan a trip to Vallée Bras-du-Nord to explore its mountain biking trails. Back at the chalet, the hot tub awaits when you’re ready to slow the pace.

A bike repair stand with tools is available for minor adjustments and mechanical issues—a practical touch for outdoor getaways.

The valley also offers hiking, canoeing and kayaking, depending on the season and the area you choose.

⛳ A Round of Golf, Then Dinner with Friends

Grand Portneuf Golf Club, located across from the resort, offers 27 holes across three nine-hole courses.

Head out for a round, then reunite with your group for dinner at the chalet and an evening on the deck. While the golfers enjoy the course, everyone else can choose the pools, the trails or a leisurely morning.

🚴‍♀️ Cycling at Your Own Pace

The Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier/Portneuf is a 68-km cycling trail built along a former railway.

Choose a stretch that suits your group, plan a stop along the way and take time to enjoy the scenery. You don’t need to ride the entire route to make a day of it!

⛷️ Walk, Explore… and Enjoy Winter, Too

In Pont-Rouge, the Centre de plein air Dansereau offers opportunities to discover the scenery along the Jacques-Cartier River on foot or by bike, and on cross-country skis or snowshoes in winter.

Duchesnay Resort also offers hiking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, depending on the season.

After a few hours outdoors, return to the warmth of the fireplace and the comfort of the chalet.

🏰 A Day in Quebec City

Set aside a day to wander through Old Quebec, browse the boutiques and enjoy a restaurant meal before returning to your woodland retreat for the night.

Activities outside the resort are not included in your stay. Access depends on the season, conditions and reservations where required.
