Pros:

A bit shabby. You can see that attempts have been made to renovate, but the windows were fogged up and we didn't dare turn off the air conditioning.

Pros:

Booked a room for 5 via Expedia. Upon arrival, we only received a room for 4 and was charged extra for the 5th person, even though the quoted price was for 5. This place is poorly managed and there is miscommunication between it and Expedia. Suggest you avoid booking here.

Pros:

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.

French River visit
Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.

Pros:

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.
