The location is near the lake across the road, about a 30 second walk to the docks. While we were there, the owners were in the house next door and they seemed very friendly. A tremendous amount of room. We had 11 or 12 people and there was still a lot of space to relax. Nice patio with a good view of the woods. Lots of comfortable chairs and couches and HD satellite TV for those rainy nights. Overall a great place to stay. The only problem is the water is a tad yukky on the bottom but the seems to be the case for the whole lake.

Doesn't make it a very private .. . I think if you are trying to get out of the big city you would like some more privacy .., could be just me.. Great conditions inside. Washing machine, dryer, full kitchen.. All you need. Great for big company or just small family.

I stayed here with my partner and two friends visiting from Germany in the fall of 2011. We chose…read moreit because it's close to the entrance to Algonquin Park. It's right off the highway, so easy to find but also not very private or quiet, since you're completely exposed to the road and can hear the cars passing. The owners run a gas station/convenience store across the street, which is where you go to check-in and pay. They also live on the property. The beach area was nice, even though it was too cold to swim, we did hang out here for some time. They had a big playground, so it's kid-friendly. They also had horseshoes and lots of non-motorized watercrafts for guests to enjoy free of charge, which was nice. We went canoeing, something my German friends really revelled in. We stayed in Cabin 5, which I later discovered was older and smaller than some of the other cabins. It has that cabiny-feel from the pine walls and ceiling, but the bedrooms were barely big enough for the double beds in them and it was just cramped with 4 adults in there. The doors to the bedroom and washroom were thin too so you can hear everyone's business. At the time I thought this was par for the course but upon reviewing their website later I realized they had some bigger, newer cabins in the same price range. There were only one or two other parties staying there while we were there so I'm not sure what the logic was in putting us in the cabin with the smaller rooms. Maybe less cleaning? I especially would have appreciated it the bedrooms didn't have graffiti carved into the walls. Made me feel like I was back at overnight camp as a kid. In front of each cabin is a little campfire area which is nice but again, it's not at all private. You're sitting next to the private road that leads to the cottages. Good view of the lake though. On our first night there, the owner had a huge bonfire out near the beach and another couple visiting from the US came and sat with us by the fire. It was nice to look at the stars and listen to the loons, but of course you can do this at any cottage on a lake in this part of Canada. Overall 2.5 stars, rounded up because I'm nice and this is their first review. I had a good time, but likely because I love seeing my friends and it was off-season, so the resort was quiet. The accommodations were too small and the cabins too close together with no trees between them for me to enjoy returning during the busier summer season.

The cottages all have private decks, new barbecues, and a view of Doe Lake. The water is great for swimming. There were toys for the kids. There is a good-sized deck and chairs by the water. There is also a boat house with ping-pong, shuffleboard, cards, games, etc. There are also 2 floating docks with a slide. After staying last minute for 2 nights, we know we're going to come back next summer...and we're bringing family and friends to stay with us.

Motel appears to be in the midst of a transformation…read more Upgrades and improvements include new windows (great for soundproofing the road), new floors and a new sink area. While the layout of the room was peculiar (I'm always confused when the bathroom sink is in a different area than the bathroom but in this case it also serves as the kitchen sink so guess that makes more sense than having a coffee maker in the bathroom...) it is quite spacious and painted in a light colour scheme to aid in the sense of space. Some minor housekeeping elements missing (no coffee cups, water and only one chair for sitting inside, no place for snowy boots and stuff to dry out) I imagine these small things will get improved upon over time. Snow management outside the rooms Could also use some TLC but appears there had been carpet once on the landing so likely need that fully removed to be able to shovel properly. The price was appropriate and the location perfect for a walk downtown or ventures to the natural attractions upraise of town.
