Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?

If you’re not already familiar with Bora Boréal’s floating cottages, you’ll need to come and experience them as soon as possible! Building on the success of Québec City concept, a second location opened in 2023 in the heart of the Eastern Townships. Just 30 minutes from Sherbrooke and the Parc National du Mont-Mégantic, the shores of Lake Batley (in Bury) offer the ideal setting for floating these unusual accommodations. A tribute to slowness, the cottages and the entire Bora Boréal natural domain were designed and built to offer you an exceptional stay, perfectly in tune with nature.
Did you know that Bora Boréal is the pioneer and the only one of its kind to offer year-round floating cottages? Come and admire the changing seasons in the Eastern Townships in one of their 8 lodging offers. Each accommodation, the Minibora series (sleeps 2 or 4) and the Boravilla series (sleeps up to 6), has a large bay window and a private terrace offering a panoramic view of Lake Batley. The serenity you’ll discover in this natural setting will have you experience the soothing sensation of being at one with nature, sheltered inside a warm and cozy cocoon.
When night falls, the spectacular view becomes even more stunning! The colourful reflection of the trees on the water gradually transforms into a sparkling, star-filled mirror. Inside, just above your bed, skylights were installed to have you enjoy the amazing celestial canopy before going to sleep. In fact, you can expect a truly magical night here…
Designed with the utmost respect for the environment, the Bora Boréal floating cottages perfectly combine eco-responsibility, design and comfort to offer you an immersive experience, as close to nature as possible. From their fully-equipped kitchens, to the wood-burning stoves keeping you warm, to the option of ordering ready-to-eat meals, you’ll love your stay.
Relax by one of the outdoor fireplaces, in one of the thermal pools or simply by reading a good book. Take some time for self-reflection in the Espace-Temps relaxation area. Then reconnect with nature by borrowing a boat (paddleboards and kayaks included in summer) or a pair of snowshoes (available in winter). From its lake and hiking trails to its installations and services, everything about Bora Boréal is a vibrant invitation to disconnect.
When you reserve, think about extending your stay through one of Bora Boréal’s exclusive offers: the third night at a discount of 50%, and a discount of 30% for stays of 4 nights or longer. Indeed, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to escape the daily grind, alone or as a couple, or simply to enjoy a long weekend.
While lovers love the cozy, romantic feel of the Minibora cottages, families unanimously opt for the quirky, spacious and functional aspects of the Boravilla cottages. Come and experience one for yourself. Youngsters of all ages are always delighted with their stay in these unique accommodations.
Here, each day promises a new and different relaxation experience. In the morning, enjoy a hot cup of coffee while gazing out over the lake. For lunch, try the refined ready-to-eat menu. Fill your afternoon with different activities (swimming, boating, relaxing in one of the thermal pools, reading in the Espace Temps pavilion, etc.). At the end of the day, on your terrace, sip the local beer that comes with your accommodation and then, as the night settles in, sit by the fire and admire the stars.
Of course, as a full fledge member of the family, your dog is also welcome on board!
Discover the Bora Boréal floating cottages and embark on a rejuvenating stay in the heart of nature. Breathe easy, you’ll be there soon.
