My family and I visit Moonlite Bay every year! We admire the passion and love that Meagan and Andrew have for their island paradise. Our favourite cabin is Musky, as it offers a private dock and deck right on the water. All the cabins are very comfortable, beautifully maintained, and modern. Whether it's relaxing on the island and taking in the breathtaking views – including the moonlight –, fishing, swimming, or simply enjoying the peace and quiet, we look forward to returning to our little piece of paradise every year!

We always have a great time at Moon Light Bay with Meagan and Andrew. They take great care of you and make sure you don't lack anything. They are even willing to go into town if you need groceries or drinks for Jeff 😂. We've been going there for 10 years now and the cabins are awesome! We can't wait to go back for the next 10 years. Here are a few photos taken over the years. The muskie fishing is phenomenal.

I recommend this place to everyone. Lovely cabins, excellent food, fantastic fishing. Megan and Andrew are exceptional hosts. We fished all day for four days in a row. We brought back our limit of walleye and panfish. We've already booked for next year. This will be our fourth stay. Thank you Moonlite!
