We had an incredible stay at the resort with stunning lake views and modern, comfortable accommodations. The outdoor area was perfect for family activities, and the food was delicious, though we did experience some slower service at times. Overall, it was an excellent getaway, but I wish the breakfast selection was a bit more expansive and quicker service during peak meal times would enhance the experience.

My experience at the resort was overall quite delightful. The location right by Otter Lake was a fantastic escape into nature, and the swimming and kayaking options were just perfect for relaxation. The staff was generally friendly and welcoming, but the service at the restaurant could use a bit of improvement, as I found the wait times for meals to be longer than expected. While the rooms were clean and spacious, they felt a little dated. However, the charm of the fireplace in the room really added to the cozy atmosphere. Overall, the value for money was decent, especially considering all the amenities offered.

I had a fantastic time at the resort! The cabin was well-equipped and had an amazing private view of the lake, which I absolutely loved. The staff was respectful and accommodating, especially with my service dog. The only downside was the need for additional items in the kitchen, like a washcloth. Overall, this place is a gem with so much to explore and do.

We had a wonderful stay at the resort with beautiful views of the lake and access to various recreational activities. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the dining experience fell short with limited options and quality issues. The location was perfect for enjoying nature while being just a short drive from Parry Sound. Overall, it's worth a visit, but prepare for a few letdowns in dining.
