Great location with excellent fishing nearby. Very nice cottage. Dock was good for our boats. The chest freezer was a big plus as it made ice management very easy.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
