Good to know
Domaine Genessee is a property of nature and tranquillity in the heart of the forest at L'Ange-Gardien, in the La Jacques-Cartier and La Côte-de-Beaupré regional county municipalities, on the edge of the Séminaire lands. The word 'Genessee' means a beautiful valley in the Iroquois language. The territory was once part of Mgr de Laval's 17th-century Seigneurie de Beaupré. Three chalets are available — two fully-equipped five-star chalets (Le Trophée and Le Héron, fishing right included) and a rustic cabin (Le trapeur, one bedroom, 5 beds). Fishing is on two well-stocked small lakes near the chalets, boat included, as well as
fly fishing on the Montmorency River for more experienced anglers. There are also several kilometres of easy hiking trails accessible to the whole family, and a guided tour of the Caverne Thomassin led by a speleologist. By reservation only.
The word "Genessee" means "beautiful valley" in the Iroquois language. Located in the MRC of La Jacques-Cartier and La Côte-de-Beaupré, on the borders of the Terres du Séminaire, the Domaine Genessee territory spans approximately 10 km² and includes 7 km along the Montmorency River. Historically, this property was formerly part of the Seigneurie de Beaupré, which belonged to Bishop de Laval in the 17th century. Operated as a private enterprise that reinvests all of its income into the improvement and conservation of its land, the estate offers an enchanting natural setting for relaxation, lake and river fishing, hiking, and the
exploration of the Thomassin Cave.
Domaine Genessee takes its name from an iroquois word meaning “beautiful valley.” The territory is situated in the heart of the forest, at the boundaries of Terres du Séminaire, at the junction of the MRC of La Jacques-Cartier and La Côte-de-Beaupré. Historically, this domain was part of the Seigneurie de Beaupré, property of Monseigneur de Laval in the 17th century. The natural setting is organized around two small lakes located near the accommodations, as well as the passage of the rivière Montmorency, which has been tailored for fly fishing. The valley’s terrain also includes several kilometers of forest hiking trails
and the Thomassin cave, providing an isolated and peaceful setting while still being only 30 minutes from downtown Québec City.
The Domaine Genessee covers a private natural territory of about 10 km² located in L'Ange-Gardien, at the heart of the MRC of La Jacques-Cartier and La Côte-de-Beaupré, along the borders of the Terres du Séminaire. Historically connected to the Seigneurie de Beaupré in the 17th century, the estate gets its name from the Iroquois language, in which the word Genessee means “beautiful valley.” This wooded area offers a diverse, well-preserved natural setting. The central feature of the estate’s water network is the Montmorency River, which meanders through the property over a distance of 7 kilometers. The property also has two
small, highly fish-filled lakes located in the immediate vicinity of the lodging facilities. This aquatic and forest environment provides an ideal habitat for wildlife and supports the development of healthy fish populations, making it well suited for both calm-water fishing and fast-moving river fishing.
The Domaine Genessee offers a variety of outdoor activities focused on discovering nature, reserved mostly for residents staying in its chalets. Fishing is a signature activity on the estate. Visitors can fish on two small, well-stocked lakes, with each body of water equipped with a boat provided. The Montmorency River, on the other hand, offers a more challenging fly-fishing experience for experienced anglers. Anglers must have a valid fishing licence issued by the ministry (MFFP). The opening of trails along the river will later make it possible to develop day fishing on the river. For walking and recharging, several kilometers
of hiking trails wind through the forest. These easy, family-friendly trails allow you to explore the landscape of the valley. A speleology activity is also available, with a guided visit to the Caverne Thomassin. This guided cave exploration takes place in groups of ten, led and supervised by a professional caving specialist. Lastly, the outfitter offers a volunteer program open to the general public. Volunteers can get involved in hands-on maintenance, site improvements, or administrative management to support conservation work and enhance the site.

Nous avons passé un long week-end au chalet le Trophée et nous avons adoré notre expérience! Le site est exceptionnel, nous avons pu pêcher en toute tranquillité et profiter du chalet, très bien équipé. L’hôte a été très réceptif tout au long de nos échanges. Nous reviendrons!

Nous avons séjourné au Domaine Genessee durant la période des fêtes et ce fut impeccable. Le chalet est magnifique, propre et même plus beau en vrai que sur les photos. Nos enfants ont adoré leurs moments passés au chalet et en garderont des merveilleux souvenirs. Les propriétaires sont toujours disponibles et d’une gentillesse incroyable 🤗

Ma fille a passé une semaine au domaine. Le chalet est beau, grand et confortable. Le site permet plusieurs activités: la baignade dans le lac juste à l’avant du chalet, la plage, les randonnées en forêt. Elle a beaucoup apprécié!
