Very much a tripping hazard. We disconnected at night so that folks wouldn't trip in it in the dark. Outside of that issue, everything was fine and standard. Park staff are very friendly and welcoming. The one beach for guests was open and nice. The other beach for day use was closed due to bad water quality. Saw a Barred Owl close up, a little to close when walking over to the comfort station at night (scare the cr*p out of us), nice to see close up in wild doing owl things and no did not careless we were there it was to busy making its dinner

I am not a man of the outdoors. So camping in general is a no go for me…read more However, this place is more of glamping. Sort of like camping with a few amenities and less work. We are provided a nice overnight stay in a private area with a transparent camping dome. Since it is still the outdoors and I am deathly paranoid of the inconvenience of getting big bites. I would recommend an orb of protection provided by a Thermacell. The villas here are primarily to support the main function of their operation which is wildlife rescue. The tour gives a heart warming story for each of their permanent residents. They are not a zoo but a rescue so they help animals get back to the wild and those that can't are made as enriched and comfortable for the rest of their natural lives. I would recommend to others to try since it supports a noble mission before we will miss being able to go to these places once 15-minute cities get put in place to trap us in our coffins.

Pros: The grounds are beautiful and we really enjoyed our tent. Huckleberry was private and had the best view of the lake. The bed was super comfortable and had luxury linens. The soaker tub was great and we loved the fridge and coffee maker. The staff were extremely friendly! The live music at night was amazing! Jeff on the second night was incredible! His voice was outstanding! Cons: The price is insane and not a great value for money. You will pay $1,000 per day. We ended up paying 2K for 1.5 days. For that price, we could stay in a Deluxe suite at the Shangri-La hotel in Toronto for 2 nights. The food was good, but for what we paid, it was not at all worth it. For example, for dinner the first night, we had burgers. As a foodie, I have had some over the top burgers-truffle, foie gras, pork belly, lamb, etc. These were normal burgers with a bunch of toppings they provided with salad. One day they did chicken tacos. Again for the price we paid, we should have had lobster tacos or filet. Also drinks were not included. There was a glass of wine at dinner. For the price, it should be all Inclusive or allow guests to bring their own and be able to drink in common places. Our friends there said the s'mores were not good and costed them $8. Also our friends got the pizza and it was $30. The pizza was like a microwave pizza. The place even has wood fire pizzas. Also I am not a big fan of breakfast and I organized with Nina the venue coordinator to have more of a brunch basket. The pita and crackers were stale and the guacamole was brown. It was left over from the burger dinner. The croissant was also burnt. We also felt like there should have been more. Maybe a snack or dessert. The food choices and quality did not reflect the price. Honestly for the price, everyone should have had private chefs and been able to order what they wanted. Another aspect was not having a lot to do during the day. We all ended up hanging out by the pool. There was a wine tour, but it was walking in the woods with wine, not an actual winery. It would be better if there was a tasting set up at each spot. Overall it was a beautiful place and we did have a lot of fun. We wouldn't come back unless the price was $300-600 per night. We don't see the value in how expensive it is.

I could not recommend this place more highly. It was the…read moreepitome of comfort, relaxation and luxury. We stayed for two nights and we wish we had stayed for at least one more. We didn't want to leave, will for sure be making this an annual trip, I want to live here for an entire summer, and I have started passing out gift cards to all my friends for Whispering Springs. If this doesn't show my love for this place I don't know what will. We stayed in the Canadiana tent the first night and then moved over to Meadowlark. The pictures do not at all do justice to the tents or the property. They were huge and so beautifully decorated. I honestly don't think you can go wrong no matter which tent you pick. We did enjoy the layout (being able to lay in bed and look straight out) and secludedness of Meadowlark slightly more than Canadiana, but again you really can't go wrong. After being on the property I would love to try Wildwood (the most secluded and with an outdoor shower), Huckleberry and Casablanca next. We arrived hungry, and they offered to deliver pizza to our tent, but we decided to sit on the patio by the Watering Hole instead. The wood fired pizza was delish. You can buy breakfast and dinner baskets, but they need to be ordered in advance. I had considered it, but decided not to, but will try it out next time. Otherwise we stocked up on food and snacks from the Foodland in town. I would recommend to pick it up all on your way- once we got there we didn't want to leave. We enjoyed the hot tub and played many of the lawn games - ladder ball, connect 4, corn bag toss, ping pong. There is just SO much to do and we didn't get around to it all - like the canoeing, paddle boarding/boating, massages will need to wait until next time. The property was lovely to walk around on. It would make an amazing wedding venue. We couldn't get over how stunning the entire property is. An absolute gem of a place. I also don't want to forget how fantastic all the staff were. They were all SO nice. You can tell they truly care about your experience and want to do a good job. I also really liked that this is an adults only destination. It was perfect!

The park is quiet with no tolerance for loud noise. The park has a great marsh and you can actually hear and see the wild life. My children enjoy hand feeding and viewing the wild life (also best fishing around). The beach is very well maintained and is a very popular spot to swim and meet people from the surrounding community's. The camp staff also put on a fireworks show every year that puts the city of Peterboroughs to shame!!! The prices are very competitive and worth every penny. As a final note the campers are very friendly and always willing to lend a hand. Rob Hagerman

Pinecrest cottages was originally a summer retreat and has been around for about 150 years ! at some point about 20 cottages were built. Currant owners Diego & Lynn have owned the property for about 6 years and have done extensive renovations to the buildings and water front area.We brought along our own boat and there was ample space at the dock, pinecrest also has plenty of rental boats of all sizes and free canoes and kayaks .The cottages were clean and comfortable with great vistas and sun sets. The fishing is great either by boat or just off the dock.The cost turned out to be less than we thought !

But sometimes you want a more relaxed experience. Fee's Landing is that place. The cottages are definitely rustic (honestly I think using the word resort in the name is a bit of a stretch) but comfortable. The website descriptions are pretty accurate so i won't waste space on that. There 5 cottages, shared paddle boats, kayaks and canoes. There are frequently lots of families and the kids enjoy running between the beach and play ground. As I said the cottages are rustic but obvious recent improvements such as recently built fire pits for each cottage. Bring a fishing rod...honestly I have no idea what type of fish...but the kids had hours of fun every day fishing off the dock the beach area is good but other than that the lake is pretty weedya

It is…read morelocated on Pigeon Lake in the Kawarthas and has excellent views and direct access to the water. The property is very well maintained and taken care of with no sign of disrepair or complacency, very nicely laid out as well. The cottages are appointed with everything to make your stay as comfortable as can be. Amenities such as fully appointed kitchen, indoor fireplace, bbq, comfortable beds and furniture, sat tv, and of course wifi (that worked perfect). All you need to bring is your clothes and food and you're good to go. The cabins have a nice size deck that faces the water with a fire pit just steps away. There is also a small onsite store and you can rent watercraft to get out on the lake as well. The owner seemed genuinely concerned at making our stay enjoyable yet was not intrusive in the slightest way, very considerate. I would not hesitate to recommend Fees Landing to my friends and family without a fear of disappointing anyone and will go back in the near future.

They were offering a wellness retreat that included two night's stay for two people, breakfast and yoga. With the pandemic and no ability to travel outside of the country, this was a welcome getaway. I was really looking forward to going. Unfortunately, my travel companion's health took a turn for the worst and wasn't able to go anymore, so we cancelled. Let me just say how accommodating the staff at the resort are from beginning to end. First off, they were pretty much booked up during the summer and the only availability for a room was the end of August, which we took. They were so incredibly kind, doing their utmost to ensure our stay would be comfortable. Corresponding with hotel staff was a breeze, whether by phone or email. They were always quick to respond and super polite. I would have loved to visit the grounds itself as it is vast and beautiful. Service from what I observed was excellent and believe had we stayed over our views would be reinforced. Pros: - 90 min from Toronto - Offers a wide variety of services, including a home away from home relaxation retreat - Foods are made from scratch - Cooking classes and spa services offered - Lots of trails to explore - Less than 10km from Cobourg Beach & Lighthouse - Golf on site
