This is a great property! Beautiful location and views, with a wonderful comfy cabin to stay in. The solar power set up is excellent. You would never know you are off grid. Great internet speed and cell reception. Very peaceful setting. Not a lot of boat traffic, but the marked boat routes with bouys are just around the corner for easy access. Nice dock set up for leaving the boat tied up out of the wind. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone interested. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing island retreat!

We were visiting family friends on a nearby island and the hosts made it the easiest nicest trip! The house has everything you need and more- in total seclusion, turtles and eagles and pelicans, but with all of the amenities you need. Can’t recommend highly enough. If we ever come back to LOTW we will definitely stay there, and recommend to others!

Excellent experience

We were very happy with our stay. The owners were very responsive and helpful. The fishing was great as always. Plenty of space for the eight of us and docking area was perfect. One suggestion our group thought would help in our situation is a small freezer for fish. Overall a great experience. Thank you!

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.

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!

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!
