Willoughby Island on Drummond Island
Willoughby Island on Drummond Island
This one-of-a-kind getaway on Willoughby Island sleeps up to 6 guests and offers a sandy beach, protected bay, and included kayaks and canoe for exploring your surroundings.
Arriving is part of the experience. Cross a unique 1960s rock and gravel causeway lined with spruce, birch, and tamarack—it feels like a hidden forest road leading you to your own private island escape.
Spend your days on the water or out exploring. Bring your boat or jet skis and launch at Drummond Island Township Park just down the road, and tie up along the east side of the island. Prefer a slip? Yacht Haven Marina nearby offers rental options.
On land, bike or hike right from the property, or venture out to nearby parks with scenic trails winding through woodlands and along rocky shorelines—perfect for wildlife viewing and quiet exploration.
Despite the secluded feel, you’re just 2.5 miles from essentials, including groceries, hardware, firewood, restaurants, bars, gas, and local shops.
Private, peaceful, and truly unique—this is an island experience you won’t find just anywhere.
