Notes from the host
Eagle Island
Come and enjoy Eagle Island, a beautiful off-grid private retreat, ideal for extended families and friends! Located on stunning Lake of the Woods, Ontario Canada, Treaty 3 territory, approx. 12 km southeast of Kenora in The Hades area.
We are excited to welcome those coming for the first time to the beautiful Lake of the Woods as well as those well familiar with this very special place.
*Note that VRBO is showing it as Sioux Narrows but it is about 15 minutes south of Kenora.
Go for a dip off your own private dock, perfect for taking in the sun. Float in the bay and gaze at the trees while you listen to the loons call. If you're lucky you might even catch a glimpse of a majestic bald eagle!
Hike the trails on the private 4.75 acre Island, with gentle to medium profiles, scattered boulders and mature shoreline with copper coloured rock outcrops. The cottage (approx. 1000 sq ft) offers south, west & east exposures, and a well-protected harbour for boats and summer swimming.
