Nice little getaway, but too expensive for the experience.
Pros:

Felt like stepping back in time.

Cons:

You have to like trains to stay here. This didn’t bother me, but the track was pretty close to my assigned room. My late checkout was approved but not honoured.

The staff were amazing (Trish and Mason) but the issues were too numerous to compensate for them.
Pros:

It was right on the lake. Lots of water activities available. On site restaurant. Heated pool. On site docks.

Cons:

Remove the seaweed. Reroute the train. Light the campfire every night at 7:30 ish. Keep the grounds well kept. There were life jackets and garbage in the water, on the beach, on the grass, etc. it looks unkept. The disgusting shag rug in our room was damp as you might expect from no mind kids running in and out with wet feet and bathing suits. Get rid of that bacteria habitat. Why is it there? Everything needs to be refreshed. Sit on the toilet and look at all the ‘issues’. Provide ear plugs in the room to mitigate the noise from the trains running within 80 feet of the room throughout the night. Whose idea was this?

fine
Pros:

Was not on meal plan, but food excellent. Staff very friendly.

Cons:

This is set up mostly for families. As a senior, with a walker, was told we had 3 stairs to our room and we had five.
Toilets very low, so nothing in place for a senior. I am 88 and friend 92 so we did have a few discomforts, due to our health. Other than no seniors assistance, we still enjoyed.

Pros:

Food was good, location is beautiful.

Cons:

Couldn't be cleaner/newer.
A lot of stuff crew were just young kids and they couldn't answer our questions or gave us wrong info.
Way too many people, not enough chairs on the beach and by the pool.

Great place for a family weekend with kids and teenagers!
Pros:

Less than 2 hours from Toronto, property was right on the lake. Lots of activities for children as well as teens - large bouncy play structure in the lake, indoor and outdoor pools, outdoor sports, good evening entertainment and very friendly staff. Dining room is great - lots of choices with vegetarian and fish options at every meal.

Cons:

Train track runs just along the road beside the property, wasn’t terribly annoying but not as peaceful as one would hope a country week end to be. Also some of the indoor areas - indoor playground; exercise room, game room are a little musty.

Excellent stay at Bayview Wildwood resort!
Pros:

Beautiful property located on a beachfront of Sparrow lake. I love the fact that all water activities are included (canoeing/kayaking/stand up paddle boarding). The meal plan was very convenient and was very good - breakfast and lunch buffets and dinner menu were excellent.

Cons:

Dinner buffet for kids should be improved in terms of food quality and variety.

I booked the hotel thru booking.com for 2 separated nights, they didnot give me the invoice first night! Reception said
Pros:

Location is good

Cons:

The restaurant was terrible. During the last half hour of breakfast service, almost nothing was left on the tables, and they didn’t even charge the food properly. I paid $200 for six people, which was definitely not worth it considering the poor selection and service.

Decent stay with kids. Not for hard core water/swimming lovers.
Pros:

Great amenities and activities throughout the day. Free Kayak.

Cons:

Too much weed/plants in the water by the beach. Not resort’s fault but water is not that great.

Fantastic, looking forward to returning next year!
Pros:

Fantastic property! Beach is lovely, lots of chairs and umbrellas, the floating trampoline etc. in the lake is so much fun. Towel cards for beach towels provided, life jackets for all family members provided. The pool is lovely and very warm (heated). The grounds are beautiful. Our room (310) two queen hotel room, was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The restaurant and meal plan were wonderful, we really wanted for nothing, it was a fantastic trip, will be back next year! Johnny at the front desk was wonderful and extremely helpful! Thanks!

Cons:

Nothing, we liked everything, perfect spot for a little family get away!

Great
Pros:

Location was great. Everything was perfect except for the trains in the middle of the night. 😂Totally out of your control and not a big deal I was just looking for something to criticize! We didn’t use the restaurant but it looked lovely.
