Gorgeous Lakefront Cottage, Private beach & Ice Fishing Shack🎣 45 min from Edm

Beautiful Cottage on Lake Isle with room for your whole family and friends to get away. Only 45 minutes from Edmonton. Great views from the massive two story deck.

Come and enjoy all the fun the lake has to offer. In summer you can go boating, fishing, hiking, and have a fire right next to the water! In winter you can go Ice fishing, sledding, or skating and come back and warm up in front of the wood burning fireplace while you watch a movie.

We have games, toboggans, books, and more!

Our family all gets together once a year and this was the spot we picked this time. It was perfect. The outdoor patio had more than enough room for everyone to enjoy the last bit of summer together!! I would highly recommend.

A Short Getaway

An Amazing Place to Escape

I spent two days here with work colleagues. We enjoyed the large space to cook, eat and talk. The bedrooms are well appointed, beds are comfortable and the deck with the view was fabulous. We stayed in late September and had a great time. We will be back.

Family Christmas

Had a lovely family Christmas at the lake house. Host was very responsive and helpful. The property could use a deep clean (walls, furniture, etc.) and some of the linens could be replaced, but the kitchen was very well appointed and we had plenty of room for the 14 of us. All in all, a good experience.

Lake views, relaxation, & ice fishing

We had a wonderful experience staying at this gorgeous lakehouse. The host was so helpful and accommodating with the booking process and even left us a care package and bottle of Prosecco. The house had everything we needed and more. The ice fishing shack was a huge bonus and we all caught fish while comfortable and toasty warm. I would happily rent this place again in summer or winter.

Annual Family Weekend at the Lake

Every year we take a family weekend trip to a lake cabin to close off the summer together - our family consists of us, our four adult children and their husband and wives and our 3 grand children - this year we chose Lake Isle and rented this gorgeous Lakehouse - the house itself was wonderful - the kitchen had all we needed and the open floorplan let us all be together. The grandkids enjoyed the toy room and the beach toys and we all loved the fire pit each night - the bed rooms were nice and plenty of space we brought the kayaks and launched in off the deck- all in all it was a lovely family weekend and we’d definitely rent again. i’ve already recommended it to a friend for her family as well !

Beautiful interior, well appointed, spacious, & generally clean conditions inside. Unhealthy beach and unsanitary yard play areas due to high amounts of animal feces that were not removed until evening of our last day. Also lake water was completely unsafe to even enter or swim due to high levels of blue-green algae. Public government-issued health warning about the lake was issued a month before but guests were never informed. This should be mandatory. Initial communication with hosts appeared helpful and responsive. As asked for by hosts in their welcome book, guests reported any issues upon arrival. This included the above exterior issues, as well as preexisting ones found such as cracked glass patio sections, broken arcade and play items, 3 empty propane tanks, and others. Some issues were addressed by hosts, others delayed, and some not taken care of or acknowledged at all. Spacious outdoor top patio with beautiful views was vital as it turned out to be only usable outdoor space due to poor beach and yard conditions. Overall a very good interior/patio vacation but not the pictured outside lakeside vacation promised in the property listing. Loss of use of the most important outdoor recreation areas seriously detracted from the expected vacation experience, which could have been resolved if areas cleaned immediately, and all guests should be warned & notified of known unsafe & unhealthy water conditions. Very beautiful inside but seriously missed the mark on outside care.
Lakeside area showing blue green algae and sandy beach area with uncleaned animal feces.
Well-appointed and spacious interior accommodations provided very comfortable areas for entertainment, dining, and sleeping.

Lakefront at its best! This is perfect!

Lake front at its best ! A perfect spot for a family reunion - lots of sleeping options allowing privacy for all. The large open kitchen and dining area is a great gathering place. This place is loaded with gathering spots both inside and outside! There’s even a super fun little hideaway room that the kids love! There are upper and lower huge decks, a huge feature for us is the level grass area to play, and the big beautiful sandy area for kids to play. There is even a walkable long dock. The location for sunsets is the best. The ambience is luxurious with a very relaxed vibe. This is our second time here and Holly the host is lovely - easy to contact and so helpful. We love this place!!
