Very good

The location was perfect for our vacation plans. The grounds & beach area were beautiful. The staff were very quick to respond to any questions/concerns.
Great location close to a couple of provincial parks and many hiking destinations. The on-site access to a fire pit or watercraft make this stay a great experience. The interior of the suite was fully equipped with comfortable beds and provided access to preparing your own food. Have already booked other stay with a group of friends.
This was our third stay. This is a delightfully quiet and beautiful place to stay. These are older cottages but they are well-maintained and have modern amenities. We plan to go again next year.
Lovely position on the edge of the lake. Peaceful and comfortable lodge.
We stayed here out of season and will hopefully come back in the summer to enjoy the activities on the lake.
The Experience was just very good, just one thing that room feels warm, AC wasn’t so good but rest everything was very good

Dated accommodation needs a full upgrade in facilities. Location is wonderful, aircon was basically a piece of junk that did nothing other than a fan. Area around the microwave was poor for any kind of food prep, ideally needed kitchen sink and area for laundry. Staff were very good.

Excellent view. Right on the water. The cleaning staff were completely on top of everything. Quiet place. One issue - we reached out 3 separate times in advance of our stay as we had a few questions and while we were able to reach on 2 occasions a live agent and on the third time left a vm message, no one returned our calls. The live voice agent was not able to answer our questions and despite saying she would have someone call us back, no one did.

Everything was great. The room was just a bit cold. I was there during -30 weather. The extra heater was a big help. Would recommend!

This place is a hidden gem by the lake. Beautiful beach area with chairs and water toys, clean comfortable rooms, just what we needed to relax and recharge in nature.
