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.

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.

Our recent hotel stay was just okay. The noise from the room above us was loud — every step sounded like hammering. It definitely wasn’t worth the money we spent on a single room with a tiny kitchen. The shower was also disappointing. Either the shower head was missing, or they considered that tiny fixture a shower head. The water came out with such strong pressure that it made showering very uncomfortable. Overall, not worth the price.

The view was great. Staff were Okey, but unfortunately, there was a lot of small insects inside the cabin. Once we checked in, we tried to turn on all the appliances and the AC was not working. Called the number on the book and was referred to the staff at the site and Informed us that it is not working and could not tell us when it is going to get fixed. So we have to open all the windows. I e-mailed the office asking maybe to give us a discount on our stay but, sad to say we've checked out and still didn't get any response from the management. Which was a very disappointment on our family trip.
