Eels Lake is a lake located between the Kawartha lakes and Haliburton Highlands region of Ontario, Canada. Eel Cow, an Ojibwe chieftain, for which the lake is named, claimed this area and surrounding land as his family's hunting and fishing territory in the early 1800s. The many islands and bays found in the lake make for ideal smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and Rock bass habitat. The lake also has natural population of lake trout, walleye and yellow perch. In order to help preserve the natural lake trout population of Eels Lake, slot size and winter ice fishing restrictions are in place. Echo Shores is located in Unicorn Bay on Eels Lake in Highlands East. The cottage stands on the Canadian Shield with beautiful views of crown land across the bay. A rustic and charming cottage experience - the perfect city escape! Includes 2 separate bedrooms, 1 pullout sofa, kitchen, bathroom, TV, DVD player etc. Get a true taste of outdoor living with a trip to the warm outdoor shower! PLEASE NOTE: if you are bringing a pet, please let us know in advance. We charge a pet fee of $35 per NIGHT, PLEASE add this as an extra at the time of booking. ONLY 1 PET PLEASE. The cottage is right on the lake so the activities are endless. Activities nearby include swimming, canoeing, hiking, wildlife watching, paddleboarding etc. As you'll be spending a lot of time outdoors, we suggest you bring hand sanitizer, bug spray, and sunscreen. There is a Canoe and Paddleboat for you to use. 4 adult universal life vests (rated for 90lbs +) for you to use will be located in the dining tent on deck. For your safety, please take the bailing bucket boat safety kit with you (located in the Cabin). Summer is always fun at Echo Shores as is Autumn. Highlands East Autumn colours are absolutely stunning and a favourite time to visit the area for many Photography and Hiking enthusiasts. There are many Artist Studio Tours around the area (look at our photos for dates). What a great place to pick up a special momento! Or, bring your ATV and explore the many trails and participate in Geocashing; there are over 300 geocaches around the Bancroft area. No matter what season Echo Shores welcomes you. There is a barbecue, picnic table, and seating area all outside. Complete kitchen with fridge, stove, oven, sink, drip coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster, and microwave. There are utensils, dishes, beverage cups, pots and pans, and a crockpot for you to use. Looking for an evening of relaxation? check out the DVD's, or play a game. Of course there's nothing like roasting a marshmallow over a fire. Please take caution when burning; keeping your fire modest in size. If there is a burn ban, you will be notified. There is emergency contacts and more information on the refrigerator. There is lots of parking on the property. We provide a mattress cover and fitted sheet on the beds so PLEASE remember to bring your own pillows and bedding. Don't forget your beach towels and hand towels. There's usually a few kitchen towels, but you may want back up. Products provided: a starter supply of toilet paper, a starter supply paper towel, plus; a small amount of hand soap, dish soap and a kitchen scrubby is provided. We have two garbage bins inside; in bathroom and kitchen, and one on the deck outside. We recommend repackaging your perishables, etc in reusable containers before arrival to reduce the waste you leave with. PLEASE remember to take your garbage when you leave as we do not have a disposal service available, be sure to double check you have everything you arrived with. Leave NO print behind ;0)

Beautiful.

What a beautiful oasis Sid and Elaine have created. We stayed a week and it was just what we needed. The feeling of being in the middle of nowhere while having all the comforts of home. The swimming was great the new shower was a nice surprise and the views off the large deck breathtaking. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you. We will be sure to return.

Awesome mini family vacay!

We had a great time for our 3 nights stay at echo shores. We had perfect weather and spent so much time in the water. Our kids (5 and 8) had a blast. The inside was very clean and had everything we needed and more. The outside was a bit run down and could use some upkeep but this did not impact our stay negatively at all. It is definitely a hidden gem and we are glad we booked it!

Our family had a fantastic time!

Well kept, well stocked, clean cottage. Amazing lake with good fishing, including off the dock. Lake is quiet, there is only a small handful of motorboats/Sea-Doos etc. Good privacy; there is a lot of brush/trees between the neighbours. Swimming is great - no weeds and water was warmer than expected. Nice large dock. Kids loved the paddle boat and canoe. I had many questions and Sid and Elaine were very responsive and accomodating in every way. We loved it so much, we booked it again for the Labour Day long weekend this year. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us! :)

This is an excellent cottage for get away to experience lake life. It is very well equipped (inside and out) to make your stay relaxing and comfortable. Most importantly, the hosts (Sid and Elaine) are extremely easy to deal with - communicative and quick to answer any questions you might have.

Beautiful autumn getaway

We had an amazing stay at Echo Shores! Sid and Elaine were great hosts - very responsive, and went out of our way to help us out when we let them know we hadn't brought enough warm bedding (our fault!). The cottage is cozy, well stocked, and the view of the lake is incredible. We really enjoyed the fall colours, and their DVD collection. Highly recommend!
