A modern angler basecamp rooted in fishing tradition.
R&B Retreats carries forward the legacy of Whitefish Lodge — a classic Quebec fishing destination — with beautifully renovated lakefront cottages on Lac Heney. Here, serious anglers bring their own boats, launch easily, fish multiple nearby lakes, and enjoy quiet, self-regulated fishing trips at their own pace.
What Makes R&B Retreats Special
🎣 A fishing experience built for boat anglers
Lac Heney and the surrounding lakes offer multi-species fishing for northern pike, bass, trout, and perch — and the freedom to fish your way. Many guests launch their boats from our private ramp and spend their week exploring multiple lakes without schedules or guides unless they choose to.
🏡 Renovated Lakefront Cottages
The original outfitter cottages have been restored with:
- full kitchens
- modern interiors
- air conditioning
- insulated comfort
- private docks
- boat launch access
All while respecting the original spirit of the lodge.
✅ Private docks with spaces for your boat and easy access to launching.
👥 A place where fishing traditions continue
This isn’t just a place to stay — it’s where anglers reconnect with memories of Quebec fishing trips past and build new ones. Groups and families come back year after year, often bringing friends and boats, and talking about where they’ll fish next.
How Fishing Works Here
Most of our guests are self-directed anglers who bring their own boats. You launch on our private ramp, tie up at your dock, and fish Lac Heney or explore other nearby lakes like Pemichangan, 31 Milles, or Cayamant — all within a short drive.
Guiding services are available by arrangement for guests who want local insight, but many anglers fish independently throughout their stay. This is fishing on your terms.
Easy Drive, Remote Feel — Perfect for U.S. Anglers
Easy drive for serious fishing trips — whether you’re coming from Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, or Ohio. Many guests treat this as their annual fishing week, bring their boats, and fish for multiple days without pressure or schedules. We’re within a 8-10-hour drive of major U.S. fishing communities:
- Pennsylvania
- Maryland
- New York
- Ohio
No flights. No complications.
Just a scenic drive, a border crossing, and world-class fishing.
Reviving a Legacy: Whitefish Lodge Lives On
We’re proud to continue the fishing heritage of Whitefish Lodge — not by recreating a traditional lodge model, but by providing a modern, self-directed fishing basecamp on the same great water that generations of anglers have loved.
A Personal Mission: The Birth of R&B Retreats
The name “R&B Retreats” represents more than a business. It reflects Roland and Bailey’s shared commitment to reviving this fishing community and protecting its heritage.
Our goal is to make R&B Retreats the place anglers think of first when planning a Quebec fishing trip — a place they talk about with friends, bring their boats to, and return to year after year.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that this legendary destination remains vibrant, welcoming, and accessible for anglers and families for generations to come.
Every renovation, improvement, and upgrade is driven by that purpose.
