C1 Lakefront Cottage - Nature Getaway in Peaceful Northern Ontario

* 5 day minimum bookings for June, July and August unless in between bookings *

Welcome to Gillies Lake Cottage - Disconnect and enjoy nature's bounty in peaceful Northern Ontario.

Located right on Gillies Lake in Coleman County, enjoy fishing, swimming or just enjoy the view with the outdoor fire pit. Feel free to bring your canoe or other outdoor equipment to take advantage of the area!

In the winter you have easy walking access to go ice fishing, minutes away from snowmobiling and ski trails. At nighttime enjoy the cozy, warm cottage with wifi and fireplace while you cook a nice meal at home.

The space:

Enjoy this newly renovated cottage that sleeps 4 comfortably. Fully winterized, all new appliances, full kitchen, full bathroom with a tub/shower, big screen tv, fireplace with lake views. Enjoy wifi and movies while relaxing after a days adventure.

Neighbourhood overview:

You are right in the middle of the Boreal Forest where nature is at your doorstep - Whatever you are in the mood for our area has to offer: hiking, skiing, swimming, canoeing, fishing, site seeing and more.

This cottage is one of 6 cottages on the same land so you will be sharing the land and docks with other guests renting the other cottages.

Local shops and grocery stores are just a 20 minute drive in Haileybury. You can also stop on the way to the cottage in North Bay where there is various stores, grocery stores, restaurants, fast food.

You can also visit the town of Cobalt which is just a 10-15 minute drive where you can find your essentials and small local shops/boutiques, museums and beach area.

Getting around:

I suggest having your own vehicle, quad or snowmobile to get around.

Other things to note:

The cottage doesn't sit directly on the lake.

This space is designed for any type of weather - enjoy nature as it presents itself. This being said, we do not offer refunds but we will issue a rain check reservation for another date of your choosing given 10 day notice prior to the booking date.

This is a no smoking space - if there is smell of smoke in the cottage, the $250 deposit will be taken.

The water is safe, clean, drinkable and comes out of an artesian well.

We maintain plowing of the parking area, however weather conditions can make it difficult for the area to always stay plowed, so please use your snow shovel for safety’s sake. Also, you can ask the site manager for some salt to improve the grip on your path to the parking

Beautiful cottage!
My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was wonderful! The cottage was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The only downside was that the fans/AC weren't quite able to keep up with the heat, but we purchased some inner tubes and spent most afternoons floating on the lake across the highway! It was a lovely time.

Great time.
Stayed in the main cabin. Cool mix of modern amenities and antique eclectic furniture. My daughter and I had fun reading the local history books and trying to find our way through the old maps hidden away in the coffee table 😀. We caught fish right off the dock. Mind you I think the water level has gone down so it was a little askew. Manageable though. Laundry was a super bonus. As was the dish washer. The only regret was not having another family or group to hang out with. Check out north cobalt Market. Devils rock. Haylibury golf club is amazing. We went twice.

AWESOME!
Kelsi was a great host and her property was great. It's quiet, currently just her cottage finished there, side and road access to the lake, super clean on the inside. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Close drive into Cobalt, not far from Temiskaming Shores, and Notre Dame du Nord. It was the getaway we needed.

Good potential but not quite ready
"Don't judge a book by its cover" is one adage that could apply here. Our first impressions, when we drove up, were very negative: the cottage exterior and property were run down & in a state of disrepair and/or construction. The description indicated that more cottages are being built but the small size of the property made it hard to overlook the multiple buildings in various states of repair/demolition, especially since you have to walk past them to get to the on-site dock. Admittedly, there was no noise but it was disconcerting to have people (even very nice/pleasant ones) driving in and out, during our stay. When we arrived, it was raining and a waterfall was flowing from the eavestrough right over the door, creating quite a little lake on the step. Both doors are quite old and in rough shape but, as described, the front door did have a deadbolt (even though some of the windows don't lock). The interior was absolutely lovely: new paint, floors, antique furniture. Really very surprising, considering what we were expecting, based on the exterior. It was a pleasure to spend time, indoors. The heater was VERY effective, too. (and it was really chilly!) The majority of the cottage was clean but some obvious missed areas: bathroom mirror was very dirty, as was the stove. We bought a bottle of vinegar , used a couple of pieces of paper towel to fix that problem. The TV situation could be made clearer: there is no wifi, as described, but there is also no satellite or cable. The big screen TV is ONLY useful as a movie screen for the limited number of DVDs. After coming across a jug of distilled water, we asked the owner if the water was drinkable. She advised that they don't drink the water. There was no indication anywhere about the water quality. A big plus was the responsiveness of the owner - quick to answer messages and very helpful with information about local activities. The area is gorgeous and near some, previously unknown to us, interesting historical sites. When they complete all the renovations, we are sure it will be a really wonderful place. Unfortunately, it isn't quite there, yet, and certainly not at the posted price.
