A nature retreat in L'Ange-Gardien, about half an hour from Quebec City, with chalets, a small fishing lake, trails and a children's day camp. Guests rate the hosts and setting very highly.
What visitors say
Domaine Genessee is a private nature property in L'Ange-Gardien, roughly 25 to 30 minutes from Old Quebec. Reviewers describe it as feeling far from the city while staying close to it, with Mont-Sainte-Anne and Le Massif within an hour's drive. Deer and other wildlife on the grounds are a common memory, especially for kids.
Most guests stay in one of the chalets, which are described as large, well equipped, clean and even nicer than the photos. The owners get consistent praise for quick replies, helpful sightseeing tips and small touches, such as a fire pit set up for one family's New Year's Eve.
Fishing on the small lake comes up in many reviews, from families to a guest who spent a quiet weekend casting from their chalet. There's also swimming and a beach, forest walks, and kayaks, canoes and paddleboards. In winter, guests mention snowshoeing and holiday events. Parents also praise the summer day camp and its attentive staff.
There's very little negative feedback. It's a private, bookable property rather than a public fishing or hunting area, so reserve ahead, particularly for the holiday season.
