Why they chose this property
This island has been in our family for 100 years.
A very sentimental place for us and extended to our guest. We modernized it and the main cottage to enjoy the last 25 years as a modern cottage

What makes this property unique
It's on an island although 3 minutes from mainland. Fish Bay is never too rough with waves to cross. Best fishing in our Bay (hence the name) and the main lake is huge, just around the corner. The wild life, birds and nature is all around. Makes you feel so separated from the rest of the world here. Peaceful and enjoyable place.
