Disliked: Cleanliness
Nothing. The room and bed were dirt, we left after 2 hours, while on phone with Expedia. Picture of room on Expedia was completely different from our room. It was kind of row cabins with some small 3,4 insets crawling on wall. The picture on site shows a building. We, 2 adults one 6 years old kid,drove 4 and half hours to go there and had to leave after 2 hours and drive back home driving another 3 and half hours since it was long weekend and no other hotels were available. Very disappointed, very bad experience.

It is a beautiful resort, small, quiet and clean. The staff were wonderful - very friendly and helpful. The only suggestion I have to improve is that the beds probably need to be replaced.

A cottage by the lake - Kayaks and Canoes are available for free. They have a restaurant, but didn't have the chance to experience. The lake has clear water. Everyone was enjoying their time in water in a hot summer day!

Disappointed

Upon arrival, I was informed that the restaurant was closed for renovations, so we had to drive into town for dinner. The satellite channels were not working, and when I called and left a voicemail for the number at the front desk, I didn’t receive a response. It was too cold to sit outside, so without TV, it made for a boring night. The coffee maker is kept in a common area, and in the morning (around 8:30), I found that there wasn’t enough coffee or cream, and I couldn’t find anyone to ask for assistance. As a result, we decided to leave early and shower at home, because to get coffee, we had to drive to Tim Hortons in Bancroft (the opposite direction from our house). We had stayed here in the past and previously enjoyed our time, as it’s a beautiful spot and very clean. However, this time it was quite disappointing not having TV and morning coffee, given the amount we paid.

The fated long distance motel encounter.

This past month there was a power outage that lasted several days and we just needed a night of heat, electricity and Internet. We accidentally clicked on this place when I thought we were making a reservation somewhere else and boy was that the best mistake I ever made. We had a late check-in, but everything went smoothly. The room was clean, warm and beautiful. It was nice to stay a place as fancy on the off-season.
