This is a marvellous property! We rented it for a week for 11 of us. The cottages are very pleasant, and the entire property was ideal for us. Excellent outdoor space in particular, and right on the water. The indoor space in the largest cottage would be very tight for 11 people having a meal, but we had good weather, so this did not pose problems for us.

A beautiful stay on a quiet lake

Very cool setup with multiple cabins gave our friend group with a mix of couples and singles a lot of flexibility. Grounds are well maintained with every sort of equipment you could ask for. Starlink Internet worked well. Lake was quiet with minimal boat traffic. Easy to get down to the water and walk out into the lake for swimming.

Family Vacation, 2025

Our second visit to Alexanne Cottages was as totally satisfying as our first, in July, 2024. It is wonderful for each family to have their own space, and yet spend lots of time enjoying the beach activities and taking meals together. We are a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 children (ranging from 3-9). The cottages are very well equipped, and everyone enjoyed the beach amenities (canoe, kayaks, water mat, beach chairs, etc. All in all, I highly recommend our stay on McKenzie Lake!

Ten Star Holiday

The cottages are very clean, well looked after, and exceptionally well equipped; the lake was very quiet with little boat traffic, even on weekends. The swimming was wonderful, and both adults and children enjoyed the water mat! All in all, it was a memorable family holiday, and everyone voted to plan another visit to Alexanne Cottages. Thank you to our excellent hosts, Janet and Nelson.

This was our third time staying here, and once again we had a wonderful experience. We came as three families (four adults and kids ages 13–16), and the cottages were perfect for us—clean, comfortable, and with plenty of space to hang out together while still giving everyone room to spread out.The kitchens and amenities had everything we needed, which made group meals easy and fun. Even though the weather wasn’t on our side this trip, there was still lots to do and the kids had a great time. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, reconnect, and enjoy yourself no matter what.The host is fantastic—always quick to respond and checking in to make sure everything is going well. That extra thoughtfulness makes such a difference and is one of the reasons we keep coming back.We’d absolutely recommend this property to other families or groups, and we’re already looking forward to our next stay!

Just what a tired mama needed…

Once again, we had a terrific family and friends vacation (that includes our fur babies). I was looking for a place to relax and recharge, connect with my family and our friend’s family. We are a go go go family and need a week to just sit, play, and enjoy each other’s company. We are a large bunch with several teenagers and need space and a place that isn’t ‘fussy’. This hit the mark again. Janet was super helpful leading up to our stay and during our stay. Everything you need to know is at your fingertips. If you are looking for a place to wake up, open the door and let the kids play, this is it.

Best Vacation Spot for Families

This is an absolutely outstanding spot for a family to all gather for a vacation together. This is our second year where my family of 12 (my three kids and their spouses and my 4 grandchildren) were able to spend a week together. Beautiful property with clean accommodations, spectacular water access, and has everything you could possibly need for pleasure in the water, around the property and in the cabins. Janet and Nelson have thought of everything. This year was extremely special as my daughter was proposed to in her cabin. We had a lovely celebration. This place is now even more special. Can’t wait until next year. Thank you Janet and Nelson. Jan and Peter Bright.

Our family has a five generation history on McKenzie Lake, it holds a very special place in our lives.
We have a family cottage near by that we have enjoyed for many years.
Alexanne Cottages is a newly acquired property for our family, it also has a long history on McKenzie Lake. I hope to soon create a book for each cabin with all its history for those that are interested.
With most families leading such busy lives, we hope to bring the uniting atmosphere that cottage living can bring to a family. I know it certainly does for our growing family.
We have been busy renovating and updating this beautiful property, and are now ready to share this experience with all of you!!

What makes this property unique

Beautiful secluded lake surrounded by crown land.
The gravel roads into the lake are well maintained (even in winter) approximately about a 13 minute drive off the main HWY 127 .
McKenzie Lake has a well maintain public boat launch very close to the cabins.
Being so close to Algonquin Park ( about 32km to east gate in Whitney Ontario) is a definite bonus to staying with us. Be sure to take advantage of all the beautiful trails, wildlife and activities the park has to offer.
