The Jeaurond Family (Owner Operators)

At the heart of Cheemo Lodge is the Jeaurond family; Zac, the primary owner and operator, alongside his wife, Bre, and their two children, Lili-Ane and Jean-Pierre. The family’s journey to lodge ownership wasn’t a quick one—Zac spent 12 years honing his skills in every aspect of the business, from guiding and maintenance to construction and management. His passion for the industry is deeply rooted in the family’s commitment to offering something truly special. After five years of careful consideration and searching for the perfect location, Zac and his partners found that Cheemo Lodge was exactly what they had been looking for. The area’s unique geography, world-class fishing, and the lodge’s ability to provide an unforgettable experience made it an obvious choice. Zac, Bre, and their family continue to build on that foundation, offering every guest a personalized experience steeped in the family’s passion for the outdoors and dedication to service.
