This was our second visit to island 1980 in McGregor Bay. If you seek a quiet retreat in a peaceful setting, look no further. Our host was responsive and made sure all our needs were met. Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay. Very relaxing atmosphere but lots of fun activities to do (e.g. kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing off the dock - although all we caught were bass, board games and campfires at night). The cottage was well stocked. Within one hour of being there my family was already planning to come back next summer!

What an amazing place!

My family has been coming to McGregor Bay for multiple generations so it is a very special place for us. This cabin and island were a perfect place from which to enjoy it on this visit. Highlights included the sense of privacy the island offered, the amazing 360 degree views in every direction, the two different fire pits, the excellent bbq grill, the lovely weather we enjoyed all week, the various options for paddling around the island, and the deck from which we ate many of our meals and watched the bay. We hope and plan to come back in a few years!!

Excellent Getaway

We stayed in the cottage for last long weekend 2 nights with my family and my friend’s family, total 7 of us. We enjoyed our stay so much. There is something for every one, young adults were busy kayaking, paddle boarding and enjoying bonfire. We oldies were just enjoying the nature. The view is excellent, the water body is very calm and the environment is very quite. Fishing was excellent. We loved it very much and want to go again.

The island cabin is a lovely place for a quiet get away. If you are looking for modern or high end finishings, lots of toys and gadgets, or fancy, this is not the place for you. However, if privacy in a tranquil setting, surrounded by water and rock, with beautiful sunrise and sunset views and the sound of loons calling is your thing, then make your way to this gem. Water taxi service was very easy and professional.Cabin had everything we needed Hosts responded very quickly to messages. Dog loved being free to explore the tiny island. It was a wonderful escape.

Stunning Views!

Thoughtful set-up - had everything we needed and we were comfortable. Enjoyed use of the kayak and SUP. Loved the bunkie for sleeping and listening to the rain on the metal roof. The island is steep rock with shore access behind the cottage and access off the dock. Heed the slippery when wet warnings. Great only for folks who are sure-footed.

Beautiful Spot

My wife, dog, and I stayed at this wonderful cottage. It is in a beautiful spot and has everything you need to enjoy the nature. It could use a few updates. That being said, the hosts were very responsive and even drove up to do an emergency repair on the water when it stopped flowing on day 2. They fixed it the same day! We recommend this property and would stay here again. It would be lovely if the kitchen and bathroom were a touch cleaner.

Date Weekend

My wife and I stayed here to have a relaxing weekend. It was great. The island itself was beautiful and quiet with views of the lake and sunset. We used the kayak and paddle board to go for a little ride. The lake is very calm so the ride was nice. We felt very secluded in a good way. We tanned and swam and had dinner on the deck overlooking the water. The cottage was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. The BBQ is brand new and worked great. We keep saying that we would love to go back.

Unique Cottage with Beautiful Views

From booking to the day we got to the cottage everything was taken care of for us. Wonderful hosts that were very punctual responding to messages and requests. The property itself was amazing, had some of the most beautiful views. They had recently installed a brand new dock that made loading and unloading a breeze as well as was big enough to swim, tan and relax on. The Cabin was nice and cozy and had everything we needed for a week away including water, dishes, cutlery, cookware, wifi and streaming services. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and remote getaway with the amenities you wouldn’t expect at an island cottage.
