The Chalet chez Lyne et Sylvain is a rental cottage located on a farming property, an especially famous farm because of its bucolic panoramas and its pumpkin picking activities in the Fall. For a comfortable getaway with access to a hot tub in Saint-Eugène-de-Guigues, Chez Lyne et Sylvain (at Lyne and Sylvain’s) is the go-to address to remember!
The good life in Abitibi-Ouest
In Val-Saint-Gilles, on the shores of the Turgeon River, you will find Le Poste. Once a fire post, the location now houses a restaurant and manages rental cottages as well as yurt accommodations. Its all-season accessibility allows guests to relax in the warmth of a sauna following a long day of snowmobile riding.
For a comfortable coffee-in-bed style stay, Le Gîte Le Presbytère (Lodge) is an excellent destination! The accommodation is located in the community of Colombourg’s former presbytery. The warm welcome given by the hosts facilitates the guests’ transition towards a very simple combo: comfort, rest and spa moments in the hot tub.

When it comes to the warm all-wood interior of the Chalet L’Éphémère, this beautiful three-bedrooms cottage on the shores of Lake Abitibi also offers access to a hot tub.
Let’s cool down in la Vallée-de-l’Or
Then, if you seek the total relaxation experience, Le Blanc Spa Nordique (Urban Spa) will meet your desires. Its outdoors and urban location allow its guests to do thermotherapy (yes, that includes the cold plunge and all!). It is hard not to be tempted by a nap beside the fireplace after such an experience!
Meanwhile, during a stay in the forest at La Pourvoirie du Lac Guéguen (Outfitters), cottage rentals accommodations make for a great getaway idea. No need to be a hunter or a fisherman to enjoy your time at the outfitters. This location is also an amazing choice for nature lovers wishing to unwind!
Let’s visit the shores of Lake Blouin, ten minutes away from downtown Val-d’Or, Au Soleil couchant B&B. The private suites, the indoor hot tub, the à-la-carte breakfast menu, the wide porch, the salons and their fireplaces sound promising for a cloud-like getaway.
Relaxation in Rouyn-Noranda
Newly revamped, the Jardin Spa is an ineluctable destination when it comes to relaxation in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. Its new concept, the Boreal Thermal Experience, offers a steam sauna, a boreal sauna, a dry sauna, a cool bath, a hot bath, a resting mezzanine as well as a relaxing bistro. Oh! Guests can also sleep directly at the location at Le Noranda Hôtel & Spa and eat at its restaurant, Le Cellier.
Alternatively, Le Domaine Baie des Pins, thirty minutes away from Rouyn-Noranda, offers a private hot tub for every one of its cottage rentals. Surrounded by nature and its Lake Rémigny, these accommodations are an ideal resting space.
Amos-Harricana, for a resourcing experience
Audacieuses Évasions differs from the usual offer with a very special twist to their accommodations concept. In fact, both big and small, the cottages float. You read that right: they float on water and can be accessed in the Winter as well as in the Summer! On top of the uniqueness of the experience (the article is available only in French at the moment), every unit has its outdoor hot tub. For guaranteed relaxation, head towards their location near Preissac.
In a different range of ideas, if you stay at the Hôtel Nouvelle Frontière, you will have access to two outdoor hot tubs. The same can be said about Amosphère (complexe hôtelier) where they also offer a suite with its own sauna services.
No matter the season, the Abitibi-Témiscamingue array of wellness destinations are there to welcome you for getaways where nature meets comfort and relaxation. Wrap yourself into your favorite bathrobe, rest awaits you!
