One of the Nicest Rental Cottages on Manitoulin

We've had a number of guests comment that our cottage is one of the nicest out there, at least for the price range it rents in. Guests like the cottage because of the amenities provided and the property/lake.

More Than Expected

Another popular comment is that people receive more than they expected for the money paid. Also, while there are some great photos on the website overall they can't do the 50+ acre property justice.

Clean, Comfortable, Well Equiped Cottage

Guests usually spend most time outside but if the weather isn't nice then there is plenty to do inside as well, from old fashion board games, books to satellite TV and an XBox video game system.

Sunsets and Exploring

You may experience great sunrises and sunsets at the cottage. Plus with 50+ acres there is a fair bit of exploring to do without leaving the cottage property

The Dock

Enjoy life for a while on the large dock, great views, good swimming.

Fishing

Fishing from shore generally brings smaller black bass and some decent size perch. Fishing by boat or canoe can land you a big one!!

Great place for kids

The notes left by the kids are always fantastic.

Again and Again

The cottage started renting in Fall 2002. Soon it may only be repeat guests coming back. Currently you need to book about a year in advance if you want a specific week

Fairly Well Equiped

We've had a few years to equip the cottage fairly well for groups of up to 10 people. You can see the inventory list under the Accommodation Details link top right

"All the Extras"

Guests comment about the extras that some cottages don't have, like purified water, 2 bathrooms, dishwasher, washer/dryer, Satellite TV, XBox

Nature

Its a bit like camping but with the amenities of a nice house. Lots of birds, deer, small mammels around the property and island.

Stars

The nigth sky is fantastic. Manitoulin is becoming internationally known for its low light pollution and therefore the clear night sky. We have some books at the cottage to help guests identify constellations. Also, a fantastic place to experience native american culture, from pow-wows to art and museums.

Great neighbours in a Home away from Home

Bob is the neighbour who helps to look after the place. We've done our best to give that cottage feeling in a comfortable place.

Isolation without being desolate

The area around the cottage is fairly private, with lots to do but within a 15 to 20 minute drive there are a number of other places to explore.

Solitude and Swimming

Lots of comments about the peace and quiet that is normally experienced. With your closest neighbour a few hundred feet away through the trees you don't usually hear any noises but nature. Plus comments about the swimming being good (as long as you don't require a sandy beach - the shoreline is limestone).
