"Check in was seamless,very polite, efficient gentleman khumar was very helpful. The hotel itself is well laid out but a little old and worn out. The rooms were functional,soft comfortable beds. Black out blinds unfortunately still allowed a lot of light in the room from external spotlights. Complimentary breakfast was surprisingly good with a good selection of breads,cereal,and hot eggs,sausages and hash browns. Certainly a good choice for a short stay."

"The cottages are small and cute. The view is amazing on the board walk. Very well priced. Dogs are welcome but must be on a leash outside which makes perfect sense. They don't supply towels or even face clothes. I missed it in the fine print, I guess. Property is ideally situated to explore Lindsay, Bobcaygeon or Fenelon Falls. All worth a visit. I'd recommend it for sure. You get what you pay for."
