(This review is only for the restaurant & bar). This is 100% worth a stop on a Killarney tour. We had a few entrees from the menu & one special entree. Everything was amazing.

NOTE: this review is for the resort itself…read more This is a beautiful lodge in a gorgeous setting. A lot of attention has been put in every area of the resort: from the landscape to the buildings, from the restaurants to the bars, from all the different seating areas to all the trails, from the cabins to the marina and its docks. There are lots of activities to be done and keep you entertained: pool, sauna, indoor games, outdoor games, complimentary kayaks and canoes, bicycles, sailing classes, live music every night, etc. It is by far one of the most beautiful resorts we ever stayed, feeling warm and welcoming, upscale but not stuffy. NOTE: this review is for the main restaurant It is a large and beautiful restaurant, with indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with view to the water. The food menu is small but with interesting options. The wine menu has good wine choices yet only few by by the glass. Every dish we had was delicious and well prepared. The beef tenderloin carpaccio was done correctly, tender and flavorful. The crab cakes were made with King crab so they have that sweetness of the King crab, and they were tasty and juicy. The Great Lakes Pine smoked trout was outstanding. The gnocchi was one of the best we ever had: very tender and the combination of flavors finished the dish in a manner that makes it different to the more common creamy or tomato sauces. NOTE: this review is for Carrousel bar (the round bar) and their pub food menu We are staying at Killarney Mountain Lodge and Marina. We came to this bar to listen to live music and have pub food for dinner. They have live music every night and Duncan Cameron is an amazing multi instrument musician, very talented. What we ordered from their food menu was very good. The signature house salad with trout was outstanding. The chicken wings were tasty, juicy and not greasy. NOTE: the coffee shop on the premises sells fresh baked goods that they make every day at the main restaurant. They have the best butter tarts we have had in Canada: with a shortbread cookie crust and a runny smooth center.

The people working there are all very friendly. Looks like the best motel in the area. I recommend Craigie's for a quick breakfast in the morning.

There isn't someone constantly in the office. If you need assistance, there is a sign that…read moreinstructs you to press a button to call staff. At check-in, I wanted to ask for restaurant recommendations and things to do in the area. However, the employee checking us in seemed to be in a hurry and told us to check out Trip Advisor for restaurants. We were informed of the patios and BBQs available for all guests to use. The other employee that we encountered was much friendlier. The office is open 24/7 and has Keurig, hot water, mugs, a microwave, an ice maker, and buckets for ice. Our room was on the second level and had a lovely view of the water. It was a spacious room with a connecting door in the wardrobe area. The downside to having a connecting door when we don't need it is that soundproofing isn't as good. We could hear conversations in the next room, especially when a baby started crying at 4 a.m. The bed was comfortable; the larger of the two windows had blackout curtains wrapped around the sides; a mini fridge and power bar with USB outlets in the wardrobe area; power outlets located around the room; and a few cushy chairs placed around the room. What I noticed later was that the room did not have a clock or a telephone. I suppose everyone has a cellphone, so those are not necessary. In terms of bathroom amenities, there is a soap dispenser on the sink, and body wash and shampoo are in dispensers on the shower wall. Restaurants, ferry docks, Bruce Peninsula National Park, and Fathom Five National Marine Park Visitor Centre are about a 10-minute walk away.

Note: none of the rooms have the water views; the rows are facing the road. You get a bit of water view sitting on the patio.

This niggardliness caused me to dock the conference center a whole star. And when we called the front desk we were told they'd already given all the extra pillows away! Hello! That's the market telling you something. Also I think they thought when we were asking for a handicap-accessible room we meant a handicapped accessibility room, one that stopped short of being a fully useful bathroom, with all components of the bathroom, tub and all. Ours had only a shower in it. So it was handicapped in the sense that there was no tub. Perhaps indigenous peoples don't use any pillows when they're sleeping in their wigwams. So maybe it's asking a lot of them to provide two or even three pillows, one for between the knees, one to clutch onto..., one for under the head. The tradition of the berdache, or two-spirit people, was a welcome thing to see among Canada's diversity pledge and tradition.

For those towing, the manager knows the owner of the adjacent hardware store, and they can make parking your rig next door doable. Easy walking access to food, hardware, the Beer Store, grocery store. Slight walk further into town, coffee shop, dining at the Anchor Inn, and boat docks.

But perhaps it was good to disconnect from the world. This was perhaps half a kilometer away from the tip of Bruce peninsula and an Easy walking distance to Bruce trail (10min walk to the start of the trail), or if you want to go see shipwrecks also 10mins from glass bottom ship dock sites. Food was easily accessible from this location as well. Basically everything was walking distance. Facilities were brand new and clean. The bathroom was spacious. There is a Fridge, a coffee maker and a microwave!!! Bed was the perfect firmness. The pillows were incredible. The comforter was perfectly insulated. It was 40s outside and we never needed to turn on the heater. The entire place was well insulated. The TV had google, Netflix, and Hulu. But we couldn't enjoy bc of the shoddy WiFi. ....I think that's all of Canada tho this wasn't the first place where we had a hard time with WiFi. Also a nice balcony when weather permitted. Had two chairs to sit and watch the Bruce peninsula in the distance. Ample parking. I did not want to leave this place. So comforting coming back from a long hike to a place like this.

Very helpful and gave me a map and went through a few places to go to because it was my first time visiting. We got the cottage bunkie - cabin 8 which is a double bed. It is just enough room to walk around the bed to the bathroom. This is the basics, bed bar fridge a 12 inch tv and bathroom. They give you a bbq outside along with toilet paper soap and hand soap. There is also a fan which helps with circulation within the room. The sheets looked clean but we brought our own bedding. This is a self cleaning cottage so they expect you to leave it as you find it! I thought it was fine for sleeping, the bed was comfortable. No intentions to hang out in the room so the bare minimum did not bother us. The internet is slow but worked ok for surfing web. Not sure about speed for streaming vids tho - I would assume very slow. The location is very close to the main strip. The guy who checked us in said if we wanted any boat tours book right away! After unpacking we went across the street to buy our tickets to flowerpot island. Luckily we followed the concierges prompt to buy tickets early because the Saturday tickets were almost sold out and it was 3pm Friday! Next door there is a kayak rental shop! On the main strip there is an over priced grocery store (way to monopolize) At nights there are Mosquitos because the cabins are surrounded by trees. Don't go unarmed!! There is a no noise rule after 10am and check out is 10:30am. I would also recommend to the owners a vending machine for the site too! Again, much better than anticipated. Since I did not stay in the room other than sleeping, this place was perfect. I can see how some can get annoyed by noise as you can hear people talking even in the outside cabins but again. It is what you make of it! Would I stay here again though? Unsure
