Originally a summer home constructed in 1903, it was converted into an inn nearly three decades later. Ginette and Claude Defoy became the new owners of this resort in 1969, making updates and additions throughout the years and ultimately making a name for themselves in the world of R&R (rest & relaxation, rest & rehabilitation, rest & recuperation… whatever you want to call it).

A Victorian-style structure with considerate, modern touches, it is difficult to feel anything but calm and content when staying here—especially considering you are right by the magnificent St. Lawrence River, which is a perfect canvas to catch and reflect the pretty rays of the sun.

Auberge Du Portage is completely catered to your physical, mental, and emotional wellness. A sensory center is designed as a course of various treatments and therapies to eliminate toxins and rejuvenate your mind and body. If you want to be more selective, you can choose from more than fifty individual treatments, such as a lymphatic drainage massage, a refreshing apple exfoliant, a full-body algae wrap, a mud bath… Reading the long, beautiful list of options is arguably a form of therapy.

If you want accommodation, treatments, and meals included during your stay—and want to get the best bang for your buck—look into their various packages!
