Location and Neighborhoods:
Location! Location! Location!
We are right next door to Rushing River Provincial Park which has spectacular rapids, sand beaches, playground and hiking trails. It’s well worth taking some time and spending it at the Rushing River accessible either by boat, car or walk; use hiking trails, do Geo-cashing, and take pictures to create memories with friends and family.

Please note we are situated in the private area where you have the cabin to yourself and right next to the resort where we share the big docks, beach, fish house(to clean the fish), jumping/swimming platform and basketball court. If you like people, then this is a great place to say hello during morning/evening walks, yet, having a forest as your backyard, water views(not front) from the sides gives the privacy and space to hangout with your family/friends and have fun on your own.

If you have a boat, we will provide the private boat slip.

If you like fishing, this lake offers walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, lake trout, splake (cross between a speckle trout and lake trout), crappie, perch and whitefish.
The beach is just short walk down the hill from the cottage.
There is a shared water slide and jumping platform, swim dock and floating dock with diving board. There is a basketball half court for one-on-one challenges and trampoline.
The city of Kenora is only 20 Kms away where there are a good variety of souvenir shops, restaurants and two 18 hole golf courses; Kenora Golf 7 Country and Beauty Bay.

Great spot for families with small kids!

Our kids loved the location of this property. We'd picked it because of it's proximity to Rushing River (we wanted to cabin not camp) and had planned to go there every day. We did visit the park multiple times and do a hike, but what the kids loved even more was being able to walk down the road (a 2 min walk, if that) to the private little beach and playground that are part of the resort that the cabin is within. You really get the best of both worlds with the cabin as you can access the resort's amenities (our kids were too little to do the waterslide but it looked fun) but also have a little oasis up in the trees at the very end of the road, with views of the lake from two sides. Beautiful cabin and we didn't want to leave!

Great holiday

We enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was clean and beautifully decorated, and the kitchen, complete with a huge island, had everything we needed. The huge decks and multiple sitting areas were a welcome feature. Our 11-year grandson had an awesome time in the water and spent many hours there. Overall, a great vacation.

Unplugging with Family

My wife and I came for the week with our young adult children. We absolutely love this area for its wild and unspoiled feel. You can hear loons every night. The cottage was immaculate and really well appointed with everything we needed, combining all the comforts of our home right in the middle of the wilderness. Will definitely come back. There is plenty to do in the area, with hiking trails in Rushing River Park, Kenora as well as boats, canoes, and jet skis for rent just down the road.

Family Getaway

We had a lovely week stay in a beautiful cabin in the woods. Unfortunately, we made an error when we read "on Dogtooth Lake" and assumed private access/dock from the cabin and better views of the lake. The cabin itself was beautiful and immaculate but the communal dock area was often busy and a difficult walk, for us, carrying the kayaks. Owners have obviously had issues with previous renters based on the pages of rules and regulations sent which actually made us a bit uncomfortable in it's wording. We could tell by the wording and repetitive nature, that previous renters causes problems for neighbors and the cabin itself. This paranoia in their communication made us unable to fully relax on our vacation. In such a small community and watched area, with so many stipulations, I might not be inclined to list my property as a rental. With that said, Helana and Mike were very lovely people and own a very beautiful cabin.

A little offput by the host

The stay was overall great, however on the last day when we were getting ready to be out by noon the property owner had come and opened the whole house while we were at breakfast and moved in and out of the space somewhat agressively while we were packing and loading the car. I had planned on rinsing off quickly but the home owner came in on me while I was changing so I decided to make the 8 hour drive without the shower. Space was a yes! Owner was a big NO

Beautiful and relaxing vacation spot

We really enjoyed getting away to this beautiful and quiet vacation spot. Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by Helena and Mike, and their son who was very enthusiastic about showing us around (which my own little one appreciated). They showed us everything we needed to know for our stay and were very pleasant. The place was exactly as pictured and very clean. There is no wifi, which I thought was nice so everyone had to disconnect and really enjoy our time away. There is a shared sandy beach, which my children loved, and a shared dock with a slide and jumping platform. The kids really enjoyed making use of that. It's a quick walk down from the cabin. Kenora is just over 20 minutes away in case you need to pick something up. The views are beautiful and peaceful. We were delighted with our stay and enjoyed ourselves despite the weather not being ideal for part of our stay. Bring your DVDs for evening entertainment or for those rainy days. If you want a nice, clean, quiet, relaxing getaway on a lake I would recommend this place.

Look elsewhere

Pros: - Great location, just a kilometre from the gorgeous Rushing River park. A sandy beach on-site is awesome for young kids. Easy drive into Kenora for supplies. - Well-appointed cottage – the kitchen has everything you need. The kayaks are fun, the deck has tons of space to relax and hang out, plus the fire pit is a good evening perk. - Friendly neighbours – they treated our kids great and were cool to chat with. To view the lake, you sorta need to walk onto their property. They didn’t seem to mind when we did so for pictures. Cons: - Unwelcoming host – Helena seems very distrustful. Both she and the very nearby (but friendly) cottage neighbours separately confirmed that they have a tense relationship because the cottage is mostly used as a rental. We felt caught in the middle of their spat. And when we had a simple misunderstanding with Helena about overnight visitors (still below the cottage’s occupancy), she scolded us as untransparent, sent extra fees and threatened to evict our family. We were after a stress-free week away, and the ordeal was bizarrely filled with friction. - Air conditioning – We booked thinking there’d be air-conditioned rooms for our young kids, because the cottage is advertised as air conditioned. But there’s only one window unit in the living room. The bedrooms became hot on July nights. We've had many kind hosts over the years. It sucked to be treated as a necessary evil to secure a weekly rental fee, rather than guests to be welcomed.

Family weekend at Dogtooth

The cabin is very clean and really well set up and had lots of great areas for gathering together. We enjoyed the kayaks and the games and did try our hand with the pizza oven! Heather and Michael were excellent and helped us get settled in quickly with a few quick calls. The cabin is privately owned within a resort so there were great features that were shared like a sand beach, swim dock, jumping platform and basketball area. The downside is that there is only parking for 2 vehicles by the cabin and we had to park our truck and boat trailer further away and the areas behind and beside the cabin that we wanted to explore had many no trespassing signs that kept us from close enough to have a good lake view but it was just a short walk down to the dock. Overall the cabin is beautiful and clean and owners are great and we would stay again.
