I like the location itself — a good view and a nice small beach. Our room was also pretty nice; it seems to have been renovated not long ago. The pool is big and has a comfortable temperature. The only thing I really don’t like is the food in the restaurant — no fresh fruits or vegetables for breakfast, and everything else is either fried or contains a lot of sugar.

We loved the private beach and options for paddling/kayaking around the lake.

That's where the compliments end. The hotel is woefully understaffed and our \"suite\" was outdated with a broken TV (broken wires and a shoddily cut hole in the wall), broken phone, and lack of sheets provided for the pull out sofa. Lightbulbs were burned out and AC did not seem to work. We tried speaking to staff but they seemed overworked and not really able to help with most things. Service in the restaurant was hit and miss, very slow the first night (1 server for the whole place) and some food running out at the breakfast buffet.

The worst part is when I tried to get some kind of compensation (mostly for the TV and lack of sheets), they refused to communicate with Expedia, so beware booking with them on this platform.

Rustic but comfortable Resort

This is a very family friendly resort with a great beach and lots of waterfront equipment. The weather was chilly, so we couldn't enjoy the water as much as we would have liked. The bed was wonderful and we enjoyed the in room gas fireplace to take the chill off.
The proximity to Parry Sound was wonderful and allowed us to enjoy what this town had to offer. Great biking in the area with a super bike shop beside a wonderful farmer's/craft market.

We stayed in a suite with a view of the lake. This is the only place I stayed in where the A/C was not aimed at the bed so points for that. The room was decent.
The grounds did need some maintenance and the water pressure in our room fluctuated a lot.
There were plenty of beach chairs but only 3 umbrellas.
We had reserved a table for dinner but the power went out for most of Parry Sound including thecresort so we had to dine elsewhere. We did have good breakfasts each day.
Its a very relaxed resort and we will likely return next year.

OK but don't expect luxury

We had a room in what they call the \"luxury building\". We had to walk a looong way from the entrance of the building to the room, multiple flights of stairs, no elevator - not easy when you have a bunch of luggage. Common areas (hallways etc.) are dirty and worn, our room was OK, had been redone more recently (still more than 5 years ago). Noisy A/C, not-so-great wifi, bed was way too soft, but the bathroom was very nice although there was no soap in our room. The beach area is nice, not a lot of shade or umbrellas though, but nice for swimming and using the provided kayaks etc. Nice for kids with inflatable floating structure but could get boring after a little while. The setting is very nice, but it's quite far from town, about 15-20min to get to Parry Sound itself. Included breakfast was nice. We paid close to 300$/night and I don't feel it was worth it, I get the \"resort\" attraction but it's not like you have a ton to do apart from lounging on the beach and do some canoeing.

We stayed for 3 nights this past weekend. The property is beautiful. It’s quiet and clean. The lake is the highlight for sure. They have canoes kayaks and paddle boards and boats that can be used free of charge which is nice. There’s also a water trampoline and a dock you can jump off of. Definitely bring water shoes, the ground is mushy. They have life jackets available but only adult sizes, so bring your own kids ones. There’s also a fishing boat you can rent to explore lake otter if you have a boating license. We took the boat out for an hour for around 70 dollars. It was well worth it. Beautiful views.
The rooms are spacious and clean, the only downfall is there is no water pressure and the water cuts in and out constantly. Especially first thing in the morning when use is high.
There’s a restaurant on site, breakfast was included with our room. The food wasn’t great but I was happy with the selection and the fact it was included. We all found something to eat.
We waited 50 minutes for our lunch the day we arrived, and the restaurant was empty. Not sure what happened there I think maybe they were short staffed.
The staff were a little underwhelming. Not very friendly. One lady was pleasant, I forget her name, but everyone else seemed to not enjoy their job and didn’t smile or say hello.
Overall, this is a great bang for your buck. Reasonably priced for what you get. The lake is beautiful and we would come back just for that alone.

No info on pool hours, the use of water equipment or how and where to access life jackets and paddles. No info on breakfast hours. Some printed materials and a resort map would've been great for guests to easily navigate the resort property.

Breakfast buffet got much worse with less selections, things ran out quickly and took awhile to replace. No room service. We asked the front desk to bring towels and fix the TV cable in the morning, we came back at night and they forgot about that. They didn’t even apologize. Pool area wasn’t maintained clean.

The resort is family friendly and offers plenty of outdoor equipment for an active stay. The rooms were adequate, location ideal. I will surely return! I have just a couple of suggestions. A small beach volleyball sand court ( instead of lawn) would bring visitor together for some fun. Lastly, although there was an employee actively cleaning the lawn and beach area (of the duck/geese poop), he obviously needed more help because during our two day stay the areas were never clean completely. I had to scoop the poop myself to clear a beach area to play volleyball with my daughter. You had to watch literally every step you took in the area in case you stepped in it.
