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.

The perfect cottage weekend
The cottage was sparkling clean when we arrived and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. There's a gorgeous view of the lake from the deck and a brand new dock to relax on. It's private from the other cottages near town and only about 30 minutes to Bancroft if you forget something (like we did with our coffee). Thanks so much Sid and Elaine!

Cozy cabin and beautiful location
No unpleasant surprises here! Lovely, cosy cabin and beautiful lakefront property, exactly as advertised. I am seriously considering booking again very soon as I had a very nice, relaxing time in nature with my family there.

Lake front cabin
Sid and Elaine’s was a wonderful getaway for my family and I. The cabin is stocked with everything you could possibly need and has so many homey touches. The homemade jam they left was delicious. It fit the 4 of us plus a dog no problem. It is right on the lake so we spent days sitting and fishing off the dock. We took out the canoe and paddle board around the lake. Stargazing and hearing the loon calls at night is magical. We ate our meals on the deck and enjoyed camp fires at night (they even provided firewood). Showering outside was nice too (and there’s even hot water! ). And if it’s a rainy day they have a bunch of DVDs and a big tv. No A/C didn’t bother us at all as there are so many windows in the cabin. We explored the nearby Eagles Nest lookout in Bancroft, Egan Chutes and made a stop for ice cream at Kawartha Dairy. And they are really responsive hosts. The only downside was having to leave! Echo shores is a lovely place, thank you for letting us stay. We usually camp but really loved this place. My family and I are even talking about returning again Thank you !

Great swimming and lake view!
Perfect swimming, and an amazing lake! Cabin was just perfect, and very comfortable. Also very clean - highly recommend as the view from the campfire can't be beat!

The perfect waterfront getaway
Elaine and Sid have a beautiful, private property on a peaceful and quiet lake just 30 minutes South of Bancroft. My family loved our Thanksgiving weekend here playing games, enjoying appetizers on the dock, and taking the canoe out for a paddle. It's only 12 minutes from Silent Lake Provincial Park where we enjoyed a nice hike. The cottage has everything you need to make family dinners together and the outdoor shower is as promised, steps from the door and nice and hot with good water pressure. My family loved our time here together and we'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking to get away!

The cottage is quaint and clean. The view of the lake is beautiful and the calmness is serene. Outdoor shower was great as was the delicious homemade jam the hosts left us.

complete place to enjoy and relax
A very nice place to enjoy relaxing, quiet with the lake right next to the cabin, to go kayaking or sailing or simply enjoy the sunsets. Recommended 100% and I would do it again. Thanks Sid and Elaine, we enjoyed the place very much.

A wonderful escape from the city.
This cottage was a perfect little slice of heaven. It had everything we needed for a weekend away from the city and great access to a wonderful lake. The hosts were very attentive and replied quickly to any of my questions. One downside was the heat inside the cottage, as it would have benefitted from Air conditioning. The directions are easy to follow and the price was fair. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. I would definitely recommend this cottage for small groups of 2 to 4 people.

We loved everything about this cottage! It was very clean, well prepared for our stay and lovely. We booked this cottage for two weeks, and despite the very hot weather we experienced, would book it again, just to sample again the nature pleasures it offers its guests. Pre arrival we were given excellent instructions and guidance and upon arrival found a welcome gift from the hosts and the essentials you need after a lengthy journey. The kitchen area is well designed and well equipped. We loved little details and keepsakes around the cottage as well as nice collection of DVDs. Fire pit outside was very nice and comfortable to sit around. (we loved the patio swing with canopy to watch the stars and meteors). Amazing views that words cannot describe! Interesting trails around the area. Swimming was great! We loved how water would calm down every evening to let us float in the water like autumn leaves:) The only thing that bothered us is mosquitoes. But it’s a part of outdoors and we were well prepared for it with nets and sprays. Also, we loved watching hummingbird visits every day in the morning… Thank you!

Amazing getaway 🌅
Such a beautiful cozy cottage! Short walk to the dock with clean deep water for diving. The cottage has everything you need; a shower, heater, comfortable beds and nice kitchen. Sid and Elaine are amazing hosts, they were quick to respond to any questions we had. Will definitely be staying here again! :)

Echo shores was the perfect place to get away from the city and relax for the weekend. The cottage is cozy, and has everything you need to make meals and relax. The dock is gorgeous, and we could not get over how nice the water was! We would stay here again in a heart beat!!

The weather wasn't great but the cabin was clean and had everything you needed. The dock was large and is where we spent most of the day that we had good weather. Water was deep off the end of the dock and good for shallow diving. Lots of classic movies on DVD which was convenient and provided an unexpected source of entertainment. All in all I thought this was a good rental and would recommend it.

Place of serenity and tranquility
We had a blast at Sid and Elaines place. It’s a wonderful place to relax and unplug. The lake water is crystal clear and the house has a large deck with a canoe and a paddle boat. We had a blast by spending most of the time in water. Sid and Elaine even provided us with 4 life jackets as soon as we requested. This house even has a bonfire(with overtop cooking grill) pit with the lake view. Evenings spent by the fire while sun setting are the memorable ones. House has a huge gas barbecue with 6 burners and it was quick. The 2 bedrooms have comfortable beds and the kitchen has everything to meet your cooking needs. Sid and Elaine even have a wonderful movie collection for the CD/DVD player with a large TV. For any groceries, Bancroft city is 30 minutes away. Hosts are wonderful people who replied to us very quickly and even came all the way down to the house to show us how to operate the shower. All in all, we had spent wonderful time at this place and we sure will return.
