Pleasant stay

The cottage is clean and well equipped. We were pleased to find the beds quite comfortable. Ceiling fans in the rooms kept the temperatures reasonable, even on hot days. The living area is on the upper level and is ample. The walk-out lower level is not in use. The proximity to Keewatin and Kenora by car and boat is nice. We enjoyed our stay.

Lovely Lake House

The cottage was very comfortable, with good appliances and lots of space in the kitchen for supplies. The location is very convenient to Kenora. The walk up the hill was steeper than expected which might be a challenge for some guests. Due to the high water level, we didn't have use of the dock. Our hosts were very helpful. We were thrilled to see the Northern Lights one night!

Family fun at the Lake!

Wow! Great time at this beautiful cottage on Lake of the Woods! We loved the nicely appointed bedrooms with comfy mattresses and lovely bedding. Lots of space to spread out, or hang out together on the kitchen/family room. Great view of lake for morning coffee on upper deck. The bay is lovely and still enough for stand up paddle boarding. Unfortunately with the high water levels this year it affected the dock, but we still loved campfires at lakeside. So nice and close to Kenora to watch Canada Day fireworks and enjoy a meal at the brewery. Chad was quick to respond to any questions! We loved our stay and would recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing time on Lake of the Woods. Thank you for hosting us! Erin and Jim

All Around Fantastic!

This property is super! The location is outstanding...in one of the best bays on LOTW with road access to the cutest little neighborhood. The first thing we noticed inside was how clean it smelled. Everything was spic and span and worked great. Beds are super comfy with good pillows and linens. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes and utensils and cooking supplies. We cooked every day, bbq'd and had many happy hours and crib games on the amazing deck that overlooked the water. The cottage is very spacious and fully equipped with great appliances including laundry. The lake decor adds fun to the experience. There were also lifejackets, pool noodles and some fun games ready for guests. We had amazing weather with everyday being a perfect lake day. The mornings in the bay were outstanding and we were able to get in a paddle each day. You will not be disappointed with anything....only to leave. Thanks again for the wonderful stay! We thoroughly enjoyed our entire experience here.

Haberman Family Vacation

What an outstanding property which allowed our family to enjoy our first family vacation in 22 years! Accommodations are 5 Star! Room enough for four adults and 2 children with space to spare. Enough space to be able to find a quiet spot to read or to enjoy views of the Lake from elevated decks. Home shows meticulous attention to detail with a blend of inspiration art pieces which had a calming affect and caused us to appreciate the property more. Campfire nightly with the kids. Fishing off the dock ( I had a Musky follow my lure right to edge of dock) I brought my boat from Wisconsin. Easy ride with Chads directions from marina in town. Dock has the amenities fisherman will appreciate such as power to charge batteries as well as a small beach for the kids. All in all a perfect spot on a perfect Lake. Lake of the Woods is truly a North American treasure. Our thanks to Laura and her property Manager; Chad, and to Mom who helped us tremendously during the week. Thank You for making memories! Gordon Haberman for Kathy, Julie, Troy, Mia and little Gordon.

Amazing

Fantastic location, Clean and very comfortable. Loved the lay out. Back family room, great for movie or quiet time. Main Cottage area very roomy allowing for family interaction while engaging in different games. Dining table needs more stability, and dining chairs not all that comfortable, could use cushions or upgrading.

Love LOTW!!

This was our first time renting a cottage in the Rheault Bay area of Lake of the Woods. The accommodations were perfect for our family of five. The kids made fast friends with some of the friendly local kids. The property was easy to access off Mackenzie Portage Road and was conveniently close to town. The lake was beautiful! The kid’s swam, kayaked and went tubing with their new found friends. My husband caught a fish or two off the dock. Great vacation and memories made! Thank you Laura and Chad for making our stay so easy and comfortable:)

Best Spot in Lake of the Woods!

Our family had the best stay at this VRBO property for over 2 weeks! The house is beautiful and so easy to stay in. Awesome kitchen with the best view of the lake. Beautiful deck to enjoy dinner while looking out at the bay. The water area is perfect with a dock for great swimming and a little beach area for the kids to play. Plus a beautiful lawn area to play frisbee or throw a ball. Cant say enough about how great our visit was!!

About the host

Hosted by Laura Kember

Host profile image
Thank you for your interest in my Rheault Bay Property. It is my favourite place in the world. I grew up on Rheault Bay and enjoyed the many outdoor activities offered in this area. I have fond memories of swimming, boating, fishing, waterskiing, kayaking and canoeing on the lake. My work brought me to Toronto, but I return yearly to join my family for some fun on the lake. I chose to rent my lakehouse to allow others to have the opportunity to experience the beauty and serenity of this "hidden gem". I hope you will love it as I do.

What makes this property unique

Located on the exclusive Rheault Bay, your own private beach and dock, proximity to Rheault Bay Marina and public boat launches, road access and only minutes from all the conveniences and amenities of the City of Kenora.
