The Origin of the Loon’s Spots

The Origin of the Loon’s Spots

Long ago, when the world was young and the lakes were crystal clear, there lived a plain and unadorned bird named Luna. Luna was a Common Loon, known for her beautiful calls that echoed through the tranquil waters of her lake home. One day, Luna swam to the deepest...

Story Lake always meets our Expectations

Staying at Loons Landing on Story Lake always meets our expectations. Upon arrival we were presented with a spotless cottage and noticed the newly painted rooms. My husband was pleasantly surprised to christen the new BBQ. We always make use of the boat and electric motor as well as the kayak supplied. Wood for our camp fire is in plenty of supply. It’s nice to be able to book the bunkie for an extra guest that joined us for a few nights of our stay. We always enjoy our time at Story Lake.

Just what we Needed

When we got the address to the cottage I was a little worried. When we pulled in we instantly felt at home. The cottage was perfect for us 2 adults and 5 kids and one highly energetic lab. The views were tranquil. Things to do: we were never bored and didn't leave the property unless on the water. Story lake is a small lake that you can see in its entirety from the dock. On site there was: a canoe, single kayak, double kayak, paddle boat and a boat with an electric motor. The kids enjoyed that they could come and go in the non electric boats. They could swim for hours, jump off the dock or just lounge. They have bean bag toss, washers and many indoor games (not that we found time to be inside). The fire pit is near the water which made for nice night time fires with s'mores. There was a barbeque and ample amount of propane for cooking outside. The cottage itself: 3 bedrooms- one of which was a perfect kids room. The bathroom was clean and in good condition. The cottage was clean and welcoming. There were all kinds of dishes and appliances so if you wanted to cook inside. There was a nice dining area with a big table that would have fit us all and a living room. The overall experience here for our family was just what we needed to end our summer. We will be back again next year.

Family Vacation

Thank you Michael and Debbie! Loons Landing has become a family vacation destination for us. We were married on the dock of Loons Landing and now bring our daughter back every year. She's learning how to catch fish with her dad, and loved playing on the swings and slides. Can't wait to come back next year!

Quiet and Private

Our family stayed at Loons Landing for 3 nights and had a great time. The area is quiet and private. There was plenty of wood available for the fire pit. The cottage was clean and met our needs. My son enjoyed the good fishing. We can’t wait to return!

History

Tony Di Lella discovered the serenity of Story Lake over 35 years ago. Little did he know, his property would provide families with joy and memories for years to come.

What started out as a wooded lot was eventually cleared and became a weekend getaway that Tony would bring his family to. Work and laughter filled the days and nights. Tony taught his children to swim, boat, fish, snowmobile, ATV and chop wood. Skills and stories that would be passed on from generation to generation.

Tony’s son Michael took over the labour of love in 2003 renovating Loons Landing and later purchasing Canoe Cove in 2014. Since then, we’ve been sharing our enjoyment with others through cottage rentals.

We look forward to creating a comfortable, fun, relaxing space for families to return to year after year to make their own memories and ‘stories’ by the lake.

From Our Family To Yours

Welcome to our cottage! We are happy you chose our property for your holiday.

Whether your stay is for a weekend getaway or a family vacation, we hope you enjoy the beauty of Story Lake and all the Land-o-Lakes area has to offer.
