This is a marvellous property! We rented it for a week for 11 of us. The cottages are very pleasant, and the entire property was ideal for us. Excellent outdoor space in particular, and right on the water. The indoor space in the largest cottage would be very tight for 11 people having a meal, but we had good weather, so this did not pose problems for us.

Family Vacation, 2025
Our second visit to Alexanne Cottages was as totally satisfying as our first, in July, 2024. It is wonderful for each family to have their own space, and yet spend lots of time enjoying the beach activities and taking meals together. We are a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 children (ranging from 3-9). The cottages are very well equipped, and everyone enjoyed the beach amenities (canoe, kayaks, water mat, beach chairs, etc. All in all, I highly recommend our stay on McKenzie Lake!

A beautiful stay on a quiet lake
Very cool setup with multiple cabins gave our friend group with a mix of couples and singles a lot of flexibility. Grounds are well maintained with every sort of equipment you could ask for. Starlink Internet worked well. Lake was quiet with minimal boat traffic. Easy to get down to the water and walk out into the lake for swimming.

Just what a tired mama needed…
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.

Best Vacation Spot for Families
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.

Ten Star Holiday
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.
