Excellent visit!! Wonderful, helpful staff, thoughtful rooms, lovely swimming and great food! Slow, peaceful pace with an older demographic-just the doctor ordered.
What a beautiful place to stay! Wish we could have stayed longer. The staff deserved more stars than 5; the dinner was beyond expectation, and the room was delightful. The beach front is inviting, with an expansive deck, fire pits and kayaks. We really enjoyed cocktails on the patio before dinner. Thanks for making our weekend so great.
Amazing owners, staff, chef, property, room and the food!!!! Went for a weekend and ended up booking a week in the summer because they are the best resort we have been to in Ontario!!
Amazing four night stay, this our second time here my wife and I visited. The staff and chefs have a delightful presence and provide excellent service and care.
Gorgeous lake view room with fireplace. Fabulous meal. Lovely getaway
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our room was pretty basic. No balcony, no view. We were disappointed because the pictures were misleading. The air conditioner was noisy and we couldn't turn it down, so we just turned it off. There was an unpleasant smell after flushing the toilet,so we kept the bathroom fan running and the door closed. They advertised a "beach" but they have a different definition of beach than I do.
The walk from the lodge to the water is fairly steep and the walk back up was challenging
The food is excellent, but very expensive. $30 (plus tax and tip) for breakfast led us to believe it would be a lot more impressive than it was
The staff was very welcoming, checking that we had everything we needed. The food at dinner was delicious. Attention was paid to its artistic presentation.
Ontario countryside and lakefront views. Peaceful and rejuvenating. The staff is immaculate, imaginative, and thoughtful. Satellite/cable for those who can’t resists a movie or news update. Fireplaces, hot tubs, balconies, 5-star chef cuisine and posh outdoor dining, all in a rustic setting.
First time visit. A great one night stay and wonderful, family-like hospitality....will definitely return!! Quality dinners and breakfast were an added bonus.

watch out for hidden charges
The chain safety lock had no connector to secure the door, hair blower failed and would not reset...oh and they charged us for one nite a $20.00 gratuities fee..we tipped staff with cash...I disputed that with no result..would not recommend to anyone as it seems other than the food that was very good the lodge is slowly fading...
