Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
We were expecting the room to be a little more cozier. The lighting was not good and there was no bath plug to take a bath. It was pretty rustic and had a nice view, just not from the motel room. We at least got to enjoy the canoe for free but the motel is too close to the main road. It would have been nicer if it were deeper in the woods. Still had a great time and conveniently close to 2 provincial parks where we an fish and hike.
Great restaurant, food was fantastic. Staff were very friendly and offered great suggestions for things to do. Shout out to Louise🤗. Room was spacious, clean and beds were comfortable. The window could use a cleaning to improve the beautiful view of the French River however this did not offend us. Nice dock for fishing and plenty kayaks/canoes. Public beach only 5 minutes away was great for swimming. We had a very nice time at this resort. Would visit again.
Everything was perfect! The room was ideal. The view was amazing. The food was good in the restaurant. The water in the room was stinky but that's well water during a drought I guess. Otherwise if I had more time the amenities were wonderful.

This place basically served the purpose of somewhere to sleep for the night but there were minor issues. The wifi and the tv did not work. There was no hot water. A used face cloth was left in the bathtub from a previous guest. We found a set of headphones from a previous guest which alerted us to the lack of cleaning under the bed.
Sunday monday everything is closed and no staff.
Sink was clogged. Tv was broken. Fish cleaning station was broken. Room was full of dead bugs and wasnt vacuumed

The small beach was lovely, beautiful sunsets, kayaks and canoes available. Restaurant on site. Friendly servers - food ok. It would have been nice to have more healthy options. I stayed one night - bed was ok.

Liked: Room comfort
The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom left a lot to be desired. There was a lot of wear and tear on the room. It was fine for a one night stay, but I wouldn’t want to stay long. Having access to the river and kayaks made up for how run down the motel looked.
