My stay at this hotel was exceptional. The check-in process was smooth, the staff were courteous and efficient, and the room was well-appointed with modern amenities. The hotel’s location made commuting easy, and the breakfast buffet offered excellent variety. I would gladly stay here again for both business and leisure.

Stayed here for July long weekend. Loved the vibes and place. Owner was really nice and gave free Kayaks for adults and kids with life jackets. They always have a caretaker at night time in case someone needs any supplies. I would highly recommend this place to everyone who's looking for a chill and relaxing stay within economical budget.

I was at one of the cottages Aug 2024 - 2 bedroom cabin right by the water. We found it on Verbo and booked 2 nights, I could have stayed for a week. I’m going back on my own. So here’s the deal it’s simple, clean updated cabin style. Wi-Fi worked. The kitchen is hot plates not stoves so plan accordingly for meals. All the dishes and appliances are there but bring seasoning and all good including coffee and condiments like you would for any cottage. There is a doc I did yoga and mediation on each morning - so lovely. And each cottage has a fire pit! I also trough extra towels and a smoothie machine to be happy. Grocery store, lcbo and gas station 7 min drive away. *bring garbage bags and toilet paper. It’s an oasis to unplug and just be in nature.

Beautiful lakeside and tropical nature!! Excellent location, panoramic views, great cottages, born fire, and an amazing kayaking experience in the lake. Each part of the property provides locations for Insta-worthy photographs. The view of the lake during summer and fall is mesmerizing. It was a very relaxed weekend for us. The owner/host was very helpful and courteous. Highly recommend.
