The resort owners are most gracious and charming, we really enjoyed their company. Our cabin was beautiful and accommodating, we slept better than we do at home. The bear hunt was top notch and a memory that will last a lifetime.

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful week-long stay here. The location is peaceful and quiet, yet only a minute off highway 11 and 20 minutes from Geraldton. Our cabin (number 10) was great, the screened in porch was nice, and we had a view of the lake. The boats they rent are fine, I used a 9.9hp which is perfect as you don't need to go far to find fish. The walleye fishing was surprisingly good. They have a well maintained beach and kid's playground which was perfect for swimming. They also have a small store on site as well. The owners are great people who went above and beyond in terms of being friendly and helpful to us. I have stayed at many fishing/hunting lodges across Northern Ontario and can say that even in 2022, this place is priced very reasonably and offers great value. I highly recommend staying here whether its for fishing, hunting. or a family vacation.

Pros : - Beautiful view of the lake and nature all around. - Friendly owners. Cons: -The wifi signal keeps dropping and reconnecting unfortunately (comes with being way up north). -The bathroom wasn't clean (bins overflowing, dirty shower, dead spiders that you could see have been there a while, a strange lingering smell). - Only one big dumpster to throw away garbage, which unfortunately was smelling really bad (due to size and amount of garbage in there). - No dedicated site to wash dishes when you're camping in a tent overlooking the lake (think there was one down at the lakeside but it's a bit far/steep to walk in the dark).
