Audacieuses Évasions: A Four-Season Floating Cabin on Lake Preissac
May 5, 2026
Feeling the urge to get away from it all? On Lake Preissac, a unique experience awaits you: a stay in a floating cabin, open year-round.
Yes, sleep on the water in summer, glide by kayak at sunset, and relax in your private spa. But also, in winter, watch the lake frozen under the snow, put on snowshoes and explore the forest before warming up in the sauna or treating yourself to a Neurospa session.
Whether you choose a romantic getaway, a solo trip to recharge your batteries, or a family retreat away from the noise, Audacieuses Évasions transforms a simple weekend into a truly timeless escape.
The Art of Unplugging
Unplugging isn’t just about changing your surroundings. It’s about leaving behind the noise, the notifications, and the obligations. It’s about consciously slowing down.
For a successful operation, you need:
-
a peaceful place
-
time away from home
-
little (or no) internet
-
and an environment that naturally invites calm
That’s exactly what Audacieuses Évasions offers.
Sleeping on Lake Preissac
In Preissac, in the Amos-Harricana area, Audacieuses Évasions offers a one-of-a-kind experience: spending the night in a floating cabin.
Not a boat.
Not a dock.
A real cabin, situated on the beautiful Lake Preissac.
The moment you set foot inside, something changes. The gentle movement of the water beneath the structure, the light reflecting off the ceiling, the silence punctuated by the wind and the birds. You quickly realize this won’t be an ordinary night.
Studiovasion: Comfort and Nature Combined
Studiovasion offers all the amenities of a traditional cabin: a comfortable bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and hot water.
The difference? The view. Water on both sides. The horizon right in front of you.
And on the shore, a private spa awaits you to extend your relaxation. Come evening, settle into the warm water as the sun slowly sets behind the trees… it doesn’t get much more soothing than that.
There’s no Wi-Fi. And that’s probably the best decision about the whole concept.
Nanovasion: Floating Minimalism
For an even more minimalist experience, Nanovasions offers a compact option: a mini-chalet with a bed and access to a restroom facility on the shore.
A small space, yet a great sense of freedom.
You settle in here to read for hours, write, watch the water, listen to the silence. It’s the kind of place where time stands still.
What can you do in a floating cabin?
The real question is: when was the last time you took the time to do nothing? At Audacieuses Évasions, unplugging takes on a whole new meaning.
Slow down and savor the moment
Here, we:
-
read without checking the time
-
draw or write
-
share a cup of coffee at sunrise
-
play with the family
-
recharge our social batteries on our own
The surroundings do the rest: the gently lapping water, the wind in the trees, the almost complete silence.
Total relaxation: spa and Neurospa
You can enhance your stay with:
-
access to your chalet’s private spa
-
a private sauna
-
a Neurospa session (Neurobed, Neuropad) for deep relaxation
A multisensory experience designed to release tension and help you let go completely.
Explore the lake
For those who want to get a little exercise, water sports equipment is available on site:
-
kayak
-
paddleboard
-
Seacycle
-
electric water scooter
-
water bike
Lake Preissac becomes your playground.
Hiking and wilderness
Around the lake, a vast, unspoiled forest invites you to explore. Hiking in the mountains lets you admire the landscape and the surrounding islands from a different angle.
Unplugging here doesn’t mean getting bored. It simply means setting your own pace.
The experience continues in winter
In winter, strap on some snowshoes and set out to explore the snow-covered wilderness. The landscape transforms completely: hushed silence, animal tracks in the snow, crisp, pure air. Another way to unwind—more Nordic, but just as immersive.
An Affordable Getaway
This getaway on the water proves that you can experience a real change of scenery without having to go very far.
Sleeping on the water in Abitibi-Témiscamingue is a whole new way to experience the region. It’s realizing that adventure can be simple and deeply rejuvenating.
So, ready to unwind?
