Chez Porter is a ranch in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online in the Grizzlies West region of the Ambarino territory west of Whinyard Strait.
Background
Chez Porter is inhabited by the Porter family who have lived in isolation for years, to the point where they have developed their own dialect, and are likely inbred. If the player enters the property, the family reacts with hostility.
The player can overhear a conversation in which the patriarch of the family ranch, "Pappy", tells his family to kill any uninvited guests. Workers can also be seen weeding plants at the back of the ranch.
Red Dead Redemption 2
After completing "The First Shall Be Last" the companion activity "Rob a Homestead (Javier Escuella)" will become available. During Chapters 2 or 3, Javier Escuella tells Arthur that he's heard of a family of outlaws at Chez Porter who have a lot of hidden cash. Arthur comments that it "sounds pretty dubious", but Javier asserts that, because of its remote location, there’s not much chance of them getting caught. Arthur accepts the idea, and the two ride out to the homestead to rob it.
When they get there, Arthur hides while Javier sets fire to an outbuilding as a distraction. The family come out, only to be gunned down and eventually wiped out by Arthur and Javier. After this, the two search for the money, and eventually find a lockbox in the barn which contains their prize — $175 each.
Further visits to Chez Porter will find the place abandoned, but the chest in the barn can still be looted.

Notes
- A Pump-Action Shotgun can found inside the main house, in a loft above the bedroom to the left of the fireplace.
- Between the house and the barn there is a small garden where several ginseng plants can be found among the rows.
- Multiple American Paint horses can be found here, all of which are hitched and therefore do not need taming.
- The single and bunk beds can be slept in.
- There are two unique conversations the player can hear if they go there without Javier, one during the day and one at night.
- A cigarette card for the Jack Hall gang can be found inside the small hut next to the barn, on the window sill to the left of the door.
Trivia
- It is possible to loot Chez Porter twice. Before joining Javier on his quest, the player can receive a Robbery Tip from an escaped convict.
- "Chez" is a French word meaning "at the home of", meaning that Chez Porter simply means "at the home of Porter." "Porter" itself is an occupation-based surname derived from the Old French word "portier", meaning a gatekeeper or doorkeeper, and "porteour", meaning someone who carried heavy loads for others.
- Both of the bunkbeds in the left bedroom of the main home can be slept in by the player.
