The crew at Boskettle
We put the little
house out there.
The quiet part of a lake day takes a little work beforehand. That is our part: the shanty, the holes, the heat and the meeting on shore.
A small fleet.
A familiar routine.
We look after a handful of shanties on Alder Lake. Before a rental, we set out the chairs, check the heater and clear the space for the next group.
We choose spots with the day’s conditions, access and water depth in mind. The crew checks ice before setting out; when the lake is not ready, neither are the shanties.
At arrival, we show you the space, explain the setup and agree on the return to shore. A rental gives you a place to fish and sit, with room to take the day as it comes.
Winter 2026–27
The season
has no starting gun.
November status: not open yet. January–March is our usual window, with Friday–Sunday day rentals and Saturday–Sunday weekends when ice allows.
Dates stay provisional until we confirm conditions and availability. A request is a conversation about a trip, not a confirmed reservation.

We’ll talk through the shanty, the date and what you need to bring.
