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. We have two access points to the lake - Across the highway or at the back of the property where there is a dock to fish, swim or enjoy the firepit. We do recommend swimming on the highway side as it's easier to access the lake. Feel free to bring your canoe or other outdoor equipment to take advantage of the area! We have two boat launches on site and hiking trails just minutes away.
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.
Enjoy this newly renovated cottage that sleeps 2 comfortably in the one bedroom and 2 guests on a pull out sofa in the living room. Fully winterized, all new appliances, full kitchen, full bathroom with a shower, tv, and fireplace. Enjoy wifi and movies while relaxing after a days adventure.
Guest access
This cottage is fully set up for self check in with a lockbox on the door.
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 5 cottages on the same land so you will be sharing the land and docks with other guests renting the other cottages but there is plenty of space to enjoy yourself.
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.
We suggest you have a vehicle or quad to get around as you are in rural Ontario.
Other things to note
We have big plans for this land as there are four other cottages that are going to be also rented out and sharing the same property. In the future we will have RV's/tents on the same land that are going to be ready hopefully by next summer. We are trying to make this land the best it can be for our guests as we build new amenities, so there will be 2-4 of our trusted construction workers on site during the week but it will be very light construction.
The lake entrance across the highway is also yours to enjoy for ice fishing, snowmobiling, etc.
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.
