Staff were excellent and quick to respond with questions . Very clean rooms. Beautiful view and plenty of water toys. Didn’t like the unit heater as it was quite loud. The room was very clean but the strong smell of pinesol dominated the first day. It gradually diminished .

Please do not come to this resort!! Expedia should never have posted this on there website as this resort is definitely not up to health and safety conditions. They tried to mask problems making it look pretty but so many issues with this place. Do not book this place!!!

If you are looking for a campsite athmosphere, and historic cabins, meaning old, badly maintained and small cabins (we stayed in Tumble Inn), then this is the place to stay. The surroundings are beautiful, the lake water is clear and brown (due to the woods) and hiking trails are easy to reach. Positive: after initial complaint, the friendly staff spent two hours to clean the cabin and the windows, which improved our stay a lot.

Great location, lake access was perfect. Lots of kayaks/canoes/life jackets. Games room fantastic. Asked for a refill of propane for bbq and had it within minutes. Felt like we were in our own place with no owners but if we had any issues felt they would take care of it right away. Would higly recommend. Already looking at bookings for next year!

The property has had a DIY Reno without removing old rotten materials , bathroom makeover over old materials Thermostat has an out of order label.on it, fireplace does not work. Not adequate equipped for kitchen needs, We asked for additional basics like decent pillows , but didn't have the patience nor desire to ask about the rest as we were going to move on in a couple of days, if staying a week I would definitely would have made it an issue.

Enjoyable stay

This is our second stay at this resort. We like this time of year because it is quieter. These are cottages built likely in the 50s, but they have been nicely updated and are clean and comfortable. They provide wood-burning fireplaces, as well as provide the wood, a workable kitchen with full electric stove, fridge, dishwasher and microwave oven. Good service from the staff and quick communications. Recommended.

Vikram

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The stay was disappointing. Location is excellent, view is great, steps away from a beach on the lake, with canoe/kayak facilities. But, the cabin was nowhere worth the price. The cabin itself was quite small (very deceptive photos in the listing). The bathroom was uncomfortably small—there was barely any space to sit on the toilet without bumping knees against the sink. With no exhaust fan, everything stayed damp, and the flimsy bathmat only made the slippery floor worse. My wife was genuinely afraid of falling. Surprisingly, there were no mats at the main door or balcony entrance, which meant we couldn’t keep the floor clean after returning from the beach. Definitely expected better for the price, not value for money at all.
