About this property
Big Blue Boathouse - Private Island-Kenora, Lake of the Woods
Our property is located on the beautiful Lake of the Woods, Ontario Canada, situated approximately three miles west of Kenora. It is a private 4 acre island with a refurbished Big Blue Boathouse. The main cottage is located in the upstairs portion of the boathouse and has two bedrooms, a junior bunk area with 4 beds (5 feet in length), bathroom, kitchen and living room with vaulted ceilings, and a walk around deck. The boathouse also has a bedroom downstairs, at water level, with a queen bedroom and two sets of bunks. A few steps away on the island there is a guest cottage with a queen bed and two single beds up a steep ladder in the loft area. There is only one bathroom on the island, located in the main cabin. There is an outhouse located just a short walk from the sleeping areas. The island is a private island and you will be the only ones on there. You will need to bring a boat or rent one in either Kenora or Keewatin.

About the host

My sisters and I own this lovely place. Our parents purchased it in 1967 and we have spent many summers here. It's the best place on earth!
Why they chose this property
My sisters and I grew up spending summers at this magical place. We loved it so much that we decided to update it and we have been really happy with how it turned out. We love every minute we get to spend here, and love to let others enjoy it as well.
What makes this property unique
If you have never spent the night in a boathouse, then you are in for a treat. You can hear the water below as the boats move around. Storms are a great experience here as they come up very fast and hard, then slowly go away. Hot days are wonderful as your stay is spent mostly above the water on the circular deck that surrounds the cottage, or down below just inches from the water. Feel free to walk the trail that goes around the whole Island.
