If your kids love the water, they’ll be in paradise at Glen Echo. The private beach is sandy, shallow, clean, and safe for swimming, making it ideal for younger children. Parents can relax on the sun deck or shore while easily keeping an eye on the kids playing in the warm waters. Summer guests also enjoy free use of kayaks, a canoe, a paddle board, a swim raft, and two water trampolines, one with a slide. Additional water slides and a lakeside playground keep younger guests entertained all day. Older kids can challenge each other on the trampolines or paddle along the shore, while adults enjoy a peaceful canoe ride. Whether it’s building sandcastles or jumping off the raft, every family member will find something fun to do.
After a full day outdoors, your family can unwind in a comfortable cottage that feels like home. Glen Echo offers 11 modern housekeeping cottages ranging from one to four bedrooms. Each cottage includes a full kitchen, fridge, stove, microwave, cookware, propane BBQ, Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and air conditioning. Executive cottages include dishwashers for added ease. Cozy living areas with fireplaces provide a great place for family board games or a quiet night in. Many cottages have covered decks with lake views, ideal for watching sunsets or sipping morning coffee. Located steps from the lake, these cottages combine the charm of a rustic retreat with the convenience of a fully equipped rental. You can enjoy the cottage life without having to rough it.
Boredom is never an issue at Glen Echo. Families who love fishing can enjoy some of the best fishing Lake Nipissing has to offer.
