From the owner

Water access only, via boat from Manitoulin Island or local marinas. Also float plane accessible.

Enjoy your own waterfront cottage; relax or barbeque on your deck overlooking a beautiful view. You will be staying on an island in scenic McGregor Bay, surrounded by miles of sheltered waterways. Sample a little piece of paradise that is remote, but easily accessible. You will feel like you are worlds away from the hustle and bustle of every day life, but McGregor Bay is close to major highways and within a day's drive of many cities in Canada and the U.S.

Get back to nature for serenity and fun. Hike quartzite mountains, rock climb secluded shorelines, pick wild blueberries and raspberries, or fish for bass, pike, muskie and rainbow trout. Photograph or paint your scenic surroundings. You will be staying in an ideal central location for day trips around the bay.

Request water taxi from supervised mainland parking areas, or bring your own boat. Canoe, kayaks, and motorized rental boats available.

Children stay free with adult weekly cottage rental. Pets welcome, pet waiver required.
