Private spa & luxury 12 people - near Quebec City

Summary:

Le Petit Frontenac — the prestige of Old Quebec... in the heart of the forest.

Just 40 minutes from the Château Frontenac, this high-end Scandinavian-style cottage redefines the experience: impressive spaces, a private spa, an open mezzanine, and spectacular views of nature. Here, you don't just visit Quebec City... you stay there, enjoying the same feeling of exceptional luxury — but in your slippers.



The Space:

*** A modern castle with a natural twist ***



Le Petit Frontenac is not a replica... it is an interpretation.

Like its famous neighbor in Old Quebec, it was designed to bring people together, impress, and create lasting memories—but in a setting of forest, silence, and absolute comfort.



Cathedral ceilings, Scandinavian architecture, high-end materials, and spectacular windows: nature becomes your living room, from morning till night.



*** Designed for entertaining (and staying a while) ***



Designed to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests:



- 4 closed bedrooms

- 2 king beds + 3 queen beds + 2 single sofa beds (or one queen-size)

- 2 bathrooms + powder room on the mezzanine

- washer and dryer (ideal for long stays)



The large round table quickly becomes the heart of the living room—because a true shared moment always begins around a table where everyone can see each other.



*** Chef-worthy kitchen ***



Large, luxurious, fully equipped kitchen:



- Quartz countertops

- Dishwasher

- 2 refrigerators

- Keurig + filter coffee

- Ample prep space



Whether it's brunch with the family or dinner with friends, you'll never run out of space... or inspiration.



*** 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.



*** The pleasure of a cottage... without compromise ***



Everything has been designed for a stay that is as enjoyable to experience as it is to share:



- air conditioning

- high-speed wireless Internet

- 2 x 65" TVs with cable (sports included)

- office space for teleworking

- pool table convertible to ping-pong on the mezzanine

- foosball

- games & books



Here, evenings are spent in the heart of the cottage, not in an isolated basement.



*** Signature exterior ***



- Private 6-person spa

- BBQ

- Patio set + conversation area

- Fire pit with Adirondack chairs (May to October; please remember to bring your own firewood if you plan to use the outdoor fire pit.)



A perfect place to end the day... as the forest quietly falls silent.
