The property is clean, well located and as advertised. Sarah was a great host and even got us set up with a fishing guide even though the bass tournament was in town. Enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.
What a fabulous property! My family and I stayed here, and were extremely impressed. A big cottage, very clean, with a beautiful view. It is very close to downtown Kenora, which made it extremely quick and easy for us to go back and forth. Sarah (the host) was also very responsive to any questions I had. We will definitely stay here again if we come back!

Location was a bit loud as close to a busy area. House was beautiful and the toys were a life saver

We thoroughly enjoyed our lakefront stay here as a family of 5 (3 teenagers). Beautiful, spacious and immaculate place with gorgeous lake views. Very thoughtful touches throughout including sweet welcome basket, fresh crisp white towels, quality linens, pillows and bedding! The host was extremely accommodating and a great communicator! Thank you so much! We will be back!

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Gilbert
I live in Kenora and work as a special education resource teacher. My family and I truly love spending our summers on the water—swimming, fishing, and enjoying everything lake life has to offer. Hosting gives me the chance to share that same experience with others, and I hope you’re able to relax, unwind, and enjoy the lake just as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
We are located directly on Lake of the Woods - and we are in town! Two minute drive to downtown (hospital, Harborfront, etc.). Coney Island beach is right around the bay, which you can access by boat or shuttle through Green Adventures.
What makes this property unique
We have an amazing property located in town close to all the amenities. Despite this, we are down a private road and the bay is quiet. It feels as though you're not in town. Eagles, swans, ducks, otters, and other wildlife are abundant right out your front window. Fishing is unreal for walleye, bass, pike, muskie and the like!
