We had an amazing stay! The staff is lovely and very efficient. The place was very clean. Beds were comfy and very clean as well. We had everything we needed and the beach was beautiful. There was always a canoe there when we wanted to go for a paddle no matter what time of day. (They were never all out) We had a fire every night. The lake is spectacular with the Oxtongue river just a 15 min paddle away. We hope to return in the near future.

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.

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.

Location of the resort is great. The beach is not really a beach, more a like a seawall with a couple of entrances into the water on the side. Very few muskoka chairs that are taken by guests super quickly. A nice boat dock you can watch sunset from, that was really nice. We stayed in a room in the main building, so I cannot comment on the cabins. The room was clean, but super outdated. Old style cheap beds with a loud outdated AC, at night was loud. EARLY 10 am checkout is terrible. For the total price paid for it, it is not worth it. But if it was cheaper, yes it is a good choice. AND there are no jetski rentals! Even though a picture exists here in the listing.
