Relaxing atmosphere, booked the 2 bedroom cabin, convenience of having a kitchen. Kayaks, canoes and paddle boat available. Beautiful lake view, water is shallow up to almost the need of the dock, good for swimming. Near Algonquin Park West gate and Huntsville

Had a blast

Great stay. Nicolle was very nice, Tucker (their dog) was so gentle and behaved. They offered paddle boats, kayaks and a canoe for us so we went out in the morning before we left. Check out was 10am, but they didn’t rush us out. I will probably come back again this summer!

Wonderful stay

It was a wonderful 2 nights stay. Rooms were clean and nice. Nicolle was an awesome host. She was very friendly and accommodative. She suggested some good places for watching fall colors. Lake view from the room was amazing. We could see reflections of colorful trees in the gorgeous lake alongside as it was a sunny day.
