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 raft, paddle boat, canoe and two sit on top kayaks 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. 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.
