Summary: It was wonderful to have a covered place for our boat and water sports equipment. We also caught fish right off the dock. The property manager was quick to respond and a pleasure to deal with.

Summary: The cottage was exactly as advertised and the property was beautiful with lupins and peonies in bloom. Page responded to all of our questions when booking and upon arrival her caretaker came by to be sure our check in was going well. The island is located a short boat ride from Kenora which made it easy to pick up and drop off guests. The bay out front of the island made water skiing and tubing convenient and easy to watch from the deck. The deck that surrounds the entire cottage was fantastic as you could be in sun or shade at any point in the day.

Summary: Page was a wonderful host. The cottage was exactly as she described it. We had 6 adults and 4 kids in our group. A family of ducks would stop by every night to visit which the kids loved . The kids also loved catching crayfish in the evening and using the paddle boat and canoe. We loved the privacy of being on our own island . The boat ride from the keewatin dock was closer than we thought. Everything was very clean and we had no issues arise . Even if you had to rent a boat for the week we highly recommend this cottage!!!

Summary: It was a lot of fun at the boathouse. Also very amazing that they had so many beds available. Page, one of the owner was very good and answered all our questions, even though sometimes it took a while for her to respond. It was great to have canoes and a paddle boat available. We sure did use those. The fire pit was great too. We loved our stay. It was really great. We were a bit disappointed about the cleanliness of the place when we arrived. A lot of dust, spiderwebs and smeary mirrors.

Summary: We have rented a number of places on Lake of the Woods over the years and the Big Blue is definitely our favourite. We couldn't have asked for a more convenient location. Very well equipped and well thought out cabin. Definitely not lacking for anything. Our young kids loved the bunk beds, playing in the loft and challenging themselves to jump off the deck. My wife and I loved relaxing mornings with coffee and the great view. We caught an amazing lightning storm one night and it was great watching the light show from above knowing that our boat was perfectly safe and protected down below. We had a great time star gazing, swimming, canoeing, water skiing, tubing, fishing and visiting with friends on the lake - and all in 5 days. Just imagine what we could do with a longer vacation at the Big Blue. One of our best vacations on Lake of the Woods (other than being too short). Thanks Big Blue!

Summary: My family rented the boathouse for a short staycation so we could just get away and relax. I agree with all the other reviews that said that the photos don't do this place justice - the kitchen is modern and well-equipped, the place is very spacious, and it's just so comfortable to be inside when you don't want to be outside. (But you do want to be outside. It's so beautiful.) I really appreciate that dogs are allowed as our two boys enjoyed having so much freedom to run around and it was a joy to see. Bring fishing kits, board games (though they have some there, thank you!) and some outdoor games as there is a large park area perfect for badminton, soccer, etc. I would also definitely recommend exploring and going to Kenora and Keewatin for breakfast in the morning and drinks at night!
