Beautiful 4 Acre Private Island ~ Secluded Getaway ~ Truly A Special Place!
Our island is about 4 acres, with a variety of trees from white birch, oak, maple, white pine and lots of cedar. We have wonderful swimming right off our dock. Trophy pike, musky , bass, perch, splake, lake trout, pickeral and pan fish abound.
Remember, you are in the Great Lakes. Because we are located in a sheltered bay the water temperature is great for swimming and other water sports. The island is conveniently located and easy to get to and from the small marina where your vehicle will be parked.
This is truly a special place offering a great get away with modern conveniences. For those into photography this is the place. You will find fantastic sunsets, wildlife and wonderful panoramic views everywhere you look. I also recommend a day trip exploring Manitoulin the worlds largest fresh water island.
You will feel like you've gone back in time, with beautiful pastoral landscapes, split rail fences, inland lakes and quaint port towns offering shopping and great places to eat. But if you are like me, you may not want to leave the bay. For those who treasure nature and a comfortable retreat away from resorts and the city.
One of our recent young visitors said 'this is better than Disney!'
We also offer Guided Fishing Excursions from 3 days to 1 week. Our most popular is the Father/Son-Daughter trip. Of course Mothers can come too. We provide the guides, boats, food, bedding ect. Basically all you need is your proper clothing, fishing equipment and camera. We can handle most of the rest. Check out our Video Links!!!
Please come, you will not be disappointed. Thank you and 'Happy Trails'. J. Dillon

Dilligans Island
The owner was very accommodating and responsible in the time of covid. There were potential difficulties with getting there through the marina which is on native land. He offered a refund close to our date but it all worked out.
The property is as advertised. It is beautifully rustic. The only down side is that it is near the marina and there could be a lot of boat traffic (which we did not experience because the Americans could not get across the border).
We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and would be happy to return.

The area is beautiful and lay back. Gorgeous waters dotted with islands.
McGregor Bay is magnificent, Killarney Park is a must.
The cottage really grows on you, it has everything you need in the kitchen and more. Pizza oven is a must try. Sauna and swim is invigorating.
Overall, a great get away 🛶🎣🧘♀️☀️

A relaxing stay on your own island !
The whole family had a great time: swimming, fishing, boating, discovering the bay...
A charming cottage with the convenience of letting young kids and our dog live their own life during a week and still feeling safe.
Great time in the sauna, preparing and baking our own (delicious of course !) pizzas...
Nothing to worry about but staring at the view.
