This was a wonderful trip and an amazing experience. Its a special place. The cottages were well kept and very clean with lots of amenities. The island was magical and the water so clear and crisp. The owners are helpful and wonderful people. We went as two families and had the best trip ever. Highly recommend this resort. Its worth the drive north for this slice of heaven.

First time at Canusa and we absolutely love it! The kids had a blast and we caught a few Lake Trout. Nelson and his wife were very accommodating and our cabin (#4) was great! We will definitely be coming back!

Flew in a couple days ago, and stayed overnight. Great stay with a wealth of information from the owner. Cabins are exactly as they were 30 years ago, loved it. Fantastic BBQ and Deck right on the lake's edge. Cabin was super comfortable and very clean and everything was very safe. Stayed out on our private dock at night and saw the Milky Way and millions of stars, priceless. Filled up with aviation fuel before we left, Can't wait to return next year. Thank you.

We stayed in cabin #8 and the view from the deck was stunning. The
