Cottage is well kept, comfortable and has a well equipped kitchen. No microwave, coffee machine or electric toaster due to solar power but coffee percolator and stove top "toaster" make your cottage experience more authentic. Composting toilet, solar power, back-up generator and propane stove are each easy to use. Owners are quick to respond if questions arise. Dock is lovely, large and well maintained. Secure and easy boat tie-up. Deep water. Fishing off the dock yielded Walleye and Perch.

+ Great communication with owners. Nice cabin and location. Quiet and peaceful. Dock and close surroundings was a good place for fishing on itself... .
- No really any minuses. Just... whoever stayed at the cabin before us didn't do a good job of cleaning. And seemed like the pontoon's motor was a bit to thirsty for fuel. But could be just my impressions... i don't have enough expertise to compare...
Thanks.

Just a few notes
I think that the most valuable review I can provide is just a few facts to help others decide if this property is the best fit for their stay.
1. You can hear the Kenora Bypass from all locations on the property (including car/truck horns). If you are looking for that stunning silence of the Northwoods, this spot is not for you. If this doesn't bother you, disregard this note.
2. Two neighbors are within loud shouting distance of the property and had several motorized boats/jet skis as well as dogs who bark. This may or may not bother some.
3. The dock is fantastic (even partially underwater from the flooding, we loved sitting with our feet in the water!). The deck is fantastic. We also loved renting the pontoon boat.
4. The cabin itself was a perfect fit for our family and we enjoyed the beautiful, unobstructed view of the water. You are right on the water which is a delight.
5. The cabin interior is functional but not luxurious. A deep clean is needed, however, this ultimately did not really bother us.
6. Do not be nervous about the composting toilet. It was not a problem :)
7. The hosts were so wonderful to interact with and we were grateful for their help with navigating very high water levels and such.
8. We had great luck fishing with some nice walleye catch but again be aware that the Kenora Bypass does transect several parts of the river around the property.

Beautiful Place
Wonderful place to get away on the Winnipeg River. Peaceful and relaxing. Jerry was great to work with. The cabin was very nice. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We'll have to come back again when the river isn't so high.

Winnipeg River
We were surprised by a composting toilet but instructions were good. There were some items that required repair but we understood as this was likely a first rental since COVID. Owners were great to work with. Our family loved the getaway and the privacy. The fishing was fabulous. Would rent again!

Thanksgiving retreat
Thank you Phyllis and Jerry for keeping your cottage open an extra week. It was the first time our family was able to be together in over a year and it was perfect. The cabin was comfortable, we stayed warm with the wood burning fireplace and there was more than enough space for 5 adults! We even enjoyed a thanksgiving feast!

Fabulous stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Everything was as specified in the listing. The cabin is well-appointed (with comfortable beds and all necessary amenities) and the location is stunningly beautiful. This is a great spot for deep relaxation.

Wonderful Place!
Very peaceful and relaxing summer holiday with the family. Hosts are fantastic and responsive. Swimming, fishing, tubing, wildlife and a really lovely cabin. Fresh blueberries right onsite for pancakes! Grateful to have had the opportunity to stay! Thank you!
