Perfect Island Stay

This was our 2nd time here to enjoy LOTW. Great spot to get away for the week. Everything you need to relax and take in the lake for the week. Nice dock for fishing and kids (adults too :)) to swim and jump. House is in a sheltered cove so swimming and enjoying the lake is safe and smooth. Bonus: hot tub and wood stove to warm you up if needed. Amazing hosts! Would tell anyone who is ready for a great get away to book this house.

Fishing trip to “Eagle Island”

This site in the Hades is perfect for a relaxing week of fishing and boating. The location offers nearby protected areas to fish regardless of wind direction. The cottage is solid as are the boat docks. I was most impressed with the solar capabilities for power. The ownership conversed well with details regarding our stay. We caught all the expected species in the area including a few beautiful muskies.

Vacation time

We really enjoyed our stay on Eagle Island. Fishing was slow at first but we managed to have 2 great fish frys. We really enjoyed swimming off the dock and highly recommend this place. Short boat ride to town. Hosts were awesome.

Another wonderful stay!

This was our second year staying here and it is without a doubt our favorite family vacation spot. The communication with Larrisa and Jesse is always excellent. We had lots of swims, caught lots of fish and enjoyed how peaceful and quiet it is around eagle island. We set crayfish traps off the dock this year and had our fish crawfish boil. We even saw a common snapping turtle with headlamp just off the dock one evening.

Just perfect for my group

Property was perfect for my group of 4 men over 65 fishing for 2 weeks. Clean and roomy for 4 adults. Great bathroom, flawless electricity. Some of the best fishing we have had in Canada over the last 10 years of our annual trip. Larrisa and Jesse are wonderful people to deal with, each having very clear and concise communications. Can't say one negative comment about property or owners.

The best family vacay we have ever had.

We had a wonderful time for the 7 days that we stayed on eagle island. Daily swims off the dock, paddling around the islands, walleye fish fries and good fishing for bass, pike and walleye close to the island. We really enjoyed how quiet it was around the Hades islands with very little boat traffic past the cabin. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4 and and young labradoodle. Larissa and Jesse communicated really well with us leading up to the trip and throughout our stay. Jesse met us at the boat launch to guide us to the cabin which made getting there and checking in super easy. All in all we had a great time and look forward to coming back again soon!

Perfect family retreat on Eagle Island!

Our family had a wonderful stay on Eagle Island! Our cabin was beautifully designed, immaculately maintained, and absolutely spotless. The layout of the cabin and grounds was perfect for a range of indoor and outdoor group activities, while still providing quiet spaces for those looking for downtime to read, do crafts, and rest. We did lots of swimming, and fishing, hiking and exploring - so much fun for all three generations of our family! And what a treat to watch the sunrise from the docks and the sunset from the trails behind the cabin! This was a perfect way for our family to reconnect, laugh, and make memories together. A magical experience that we won't ever forget! Thank you, Larissa and Jesse!!

Heavenly Fishing Trip

Excellent property! We booked a week for our family of four— 16 and 18 year old kids. Larissa and Jesse provided excellent communication throughout our experience. The lake water was high so it was a bit tricky to land our boat. Jesse met us at the marina to help us along, which was very much appreciated. The island is gorgeous and is a true get-away, since you’re on your own! Of course, we enjoyed the Wi-Fi, so our teenagers didn’t lose their minds. The fishing was incredible. We caught a 47-inch musky, a 43-inch Northern Pike…. and so many Walleye around 20 inches. My daughter caught her first musky— a 40 inch whopper! It was, by far, our best fishing experience. We also enjoyed swimming from the dock and kayaking among all of the beautiful islands. The cottage was clean and well-stocked. Jesse and Larissa were quick to address any needs or concerns. I would highly recommend this property. Thanks again for a lovely time, Larissa and Jesse!
