The location is great near Algonquin Park West Gate and staff is friendly. I didnt like the condition of the property overall it was very run down and not maintained at all. The sheets and blankets in my room were all yellowed and stained was very disgusted. I couldnt sleep at all.
The area was beautiful but the beds were as hard as rock, and I had asked for no stairs as I shave trouble walking.. he said there is a couple of steps. There are actually 8 steps. Original ad said free kayak but it was a paddle board and cost $50.
Upon arrival, there was vomit in the hallway and the sheets were stained. Couldn't find anyone to give us fresh sheets. They also had hair on them, like the bed wasn't changed after the previous client. The air stank of febreeze or some kind of cleaning agent but we couldn't air out the room because there were no screens in the windows. There was no bottled water or coffee machine, zero amenities other than tiny bottles of shampoo and conditioner.There was black mold around the window frames which was probably adding to the terrible air inside the unit.
The whole Inn was run down and dilapidated and we were refused a refund by both Expedia and the Inn. DO NOT STAY HERE!!
Upon reading other reviews of this establishment we discovered other people had similar, if not more horrifying reviews.
We could not stay for the second night that we booked and had to go home, my husband was angry and I was in tears.
This place is 100% not as advertised and I will be reporting them to both the Better Business Bureau and the Health Department. Beyond unacceptable!!!!

Staff very friendly. Our room could have used some tending to. We didn’t have our room cleaned, towels changed or garbage emptied during our 3 night stay at all. Property very nice and quiet, convenient location.

Needs a bit of TLC but was great for our needs
The room matched the description and everything looked great. The air conditioning was running when we arrived, which was welcome during the heat wave outside. My recommendations would be that the linens should be washed with some bleaching agents as there were some stains (from coffee or something) that should not have been there upon arrival, even though they all were clean and that wasn't the issue. The faucet handle came right off when we tried to use the sink so we would have to reattach it (fairly easily) to use the water (and this happened frequently). The kids enjoyed the jacuzzi and we all had a fantastic sleep. It was just what we needed and we knew that it wasn't a 5 star hotel when we signed up and we were okay with that. It still gave us exactly what we needed and the front desk staff was helpful and kind.
Clean rooms but property is in very poor condition. We didn't have any face cloth no glasses only 1 toilet paper roll that was already started, the dryer did not work the tv didn't work until we push some loose wires in the back of it, AC rattle all of our 3 nights, no coffee maker in the room and no screen in our patio door. First night I ordered a poutine that was good but my partner ordered a cheese omelet that was for sure from a frozen boxe. Pretty bad.
No VERY BAD 😡
Needs repairs to dock are needed. Unsafe rotten wood. Property very unkempt. Disappointed to see the state of the exterior of the property. Inside our room was great. Very clean. Updated decor. Bed very old and uncomfortable. Need new beds.
This place needs some cleaning and a lot of maintenance work. Sheets on one bed had a major stain. Had to insist it be changed! Also, no coffee maker in room. Could make your own at the front desk - for $3!! - but they only had decaf ,or tea! Kayaks are not included, even though they show pictures of them on their website. The best thing this place has going for it was the close proximity to the lake. Gorgeous view!
This could be a cute little place with a bit of TLC. What they need is a handyman that would actually do some work. Invest in a weed whipper and power washer and some elbow grease, it would do wonders.
