This is our second year staying with Janet and Nelson and they are simply the best. Their property and accommodations are just beautiful and we highly recommend this property. Thanks so much for a great family get together.
Property is beautiful. Facilities are very guest friendly and so pleasant and comfortable. Beds are very comfy. So much to do and see in the area. We would highly recommend and will be back. It was fantastic all round.
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.
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.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Janet Allen
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!!
Why they chose this property
What a great place to reconnect with your family, yet have your own place to retreat too. Enjoy that perfect campfire time with your family (one of my favorite experiences) Authentic log cabins for a true up north experience. Eight acers of water front property for your enjoyment. Unplug and unwind on beautiful McKenzie Lake. Water is very clean and great for swimming and boating. Bring your own boat and life jackets for a fun filled day on the water. We have two docks in a calm bay to keep your boat. A public boat launch is just a minute away. We have a paddle boat and row boat available for you to use. (please bring your own life jackets) Take a short paddle boat ride over to the beach, bring a picnic for a fun afternoon. We hope to have a canoe very soon. Large yard for kids, along with a sand box.
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. Our small local towns are Maynooth and Whitney, they offer art shops, bakeries, LCBO, pharmacy and groceries. Bancroft is approximately 45 minutes away but has most anything you need.
