Very sweet, comfortable and quiet escape!
Pros:

Loved the outdoor vibes, reminded me of like dirty dancing. The renovations are beautiful.
Use of outdoor activities great, beautiful little beach. Salt water pool and hot tub were wonderful! Obsessed with heated bathroom floors now!

Cons:

I wish there was a clear path from the facility to the beach from both sides of the building would be ideal. As well as clearer directions down at the beach for using the outdoor amenities. I had to keep calling front desk to ask where things were and where to sign it out etc.

Enjoyed the stay, not the best, but still a worthwhile experience!
Pros:

The room was amazing for its value! The beds were really nice and the cabin-like feel was the cherry on top! Plus, the tv, surprisingly isn’t cable!

The pool is nice, however the hot tub and free dry sauna is the best!

Cons:

The microwave was what many would call “DOOKIE, being very dirty and not overall unpleasant. Some parts of the room also followed the trend, some parts having mysterious goop.

not outstanding, but good and above average
Pros:

The pool was really nice, except for being a little cool. View was very nice. Balcony was pleasant to sit and take in the view.

Cons:

Resort had no elevator, in our view a negative fact. Room also had no microwave, although not absolutely necessary, it would have been a nice convenience. Cleaning service was mediocre.

Would never stay again.
Pros:

Comfortable beds. Resturant on site was handy.

Cons:

Very dated, doors old, wallpaper peeling in hallways, some windows you couldn't see through because the seals were gone. Probably a nice place in its prime but somewhat an old relic now, especially for the cost. Many unexpected charges, municipal accomodation fee and resort fee ($39 additional charges plus tax).
While pets allowed they are not welcome, there is no area for them outdoors nor at the water.

Apart from this incident, we genuinely enjoyed our stay. The beautiful surroundings, pools, hot tub, restaurant, and con
Pros:

Overall, we were very happy with our stay. Having both an indoor and an outdoor pool was a great advantage, and the hot tub was especially excellent. The restaurant was also quite good, especially in terms of value for money. The location is beautiful, surrounded by nature, and not too far from the town centre.

Cons:

The only negative experience we had was with one of the staff members. We wanted to rent some equipment to use on the lake, but we were told that we could not because there was a wedding taking place. We completely understood and patiently waited for the wedding to finish. However, the wedding was held in an area that was not actually related to the lake activities, and we still had to wait for quite a long time. My eight-year-old son eventually saw people leaving the wedding and simply went to ask when it was over and when we could use the equipment. The staff member spoke to him in a very harsh and threatening manner, saying things like, “Don’t do that again,” “You are being very disrespectful,” and “I won’t let you use anything.” We found this completely unnecessary and inappropriate, especially toward an eight-year-old child who had been patiently waiting for quite some time. My son even apologized, showing great maturity, but the staff member continued with comments such as, “Do you want me not to let you go?” followed by “Fine, I’ll let you go.” It felt like an unnecessary display of authority and was very disappointing.
