A little dated. Room was small but excellent location, next to the first tee box, with a balcony. Water pressure was a little low.

The room we stayed in needs some fixing up. The towel ring fell off the wall (but we were able to screw it back on) and the side tables were extremely wobbly. The room has obviously seen some abuse but it was very clean. The hot water also smelled of sulphur, so having a jacuzzi tub wasn’t exactly the experience we had hoped for. The staff upon check in were extremely friendly and full of knowledge of the area. Overall, we enjoyed the stay, but will not likely stay there again due to value for the money.

Beautiful area Place water rotten egg smell, black powder in water, didn’t use shower or hot tub or drink water, place not cleaned properly When we got there had wrong address on your itinerary no special instructions to get access to Villa’s unit, tried call number no person just voicemail We met a construction guy in parking lot gave us the owner number Original gave us unit 204, finally after couple hours get in this unit, the unit wasn’t cleaned so we had to wait again to get another unit 202, is was a bit cleaner but the water had same issue, You say the rating is 4 star, be lucky to get a 2 star, very expensive for a so called 4 star hopefully we get some discount or refund There also no bottled water in fridge, no access to clean water Mike

There was no one looking after the property. You had to check in at the Pro Shop and they weren’t there on time. Couldn’t catch them at the sign-in desk so I called them and although they said things would be fixed, they weren’t. No one was in our room for 3 days. The towels wouldn’t dry and they wouldn’t replace them. The only good thing about our stay was a comfortable bed.

Thank you for your review. There was few days the desk needed to open a bit later and it was due to personal issue. Not a normal practice. It obviously occurred during your stay. we apologize this inconvenienced you so. We are sorry maintenance didn’t not make it in during your stay. I will discuss a better practice to keep the guest informed. Thank you for this. Upon check in you receive a letter either in person or by text. In said letter it dated that during these COVID times we will not be doing a daily housekeep (which requires a person to enter your suite. ) and to ask for anything you may need. Please contact us as we would like to make you feel better about your stay.

We only stayed one night in our room, but would not have wanted to stay more. It was an uncomfortably designed room and somewhat dated. Since it was east facing, by the time we checked in, the side of our building was quite dark and did not make for a pleasant experience inside the small unit. The bathroom, although perhaps desirable in the time it was designed and constructed was overly large, leaving about as much space in the sleeping quarters. The door into the unit pretty much opened right onto the bed. The whole unit was finished in ceramic tile, which was quite cold and the large Jacuzzi tub was in the bathroom, which was dark and made the using the tub not something we wanted to do. If you plan on playing golf, then at least you're right on the course, but otherwise, the only amenity is a restaurant. There is boat launch, but no beach. Overall, we felt that the room was not worth the price we paid, but we understand that prices in Calabogie are high in general.

Location and the over all site are great. The restaurant staff is super. The buildings at walk ways where the rooms are, are poorely built, the different floor finishes, are not at matching level, and even show some gaps. Way worst then any thing, the water smells like rotten eggs.

Room was clean, nice. location good and price was good. Tv was missing the remote that was needed to watch it (a replacement couldnt be delivered because after hours and/or covid). No hot water in shower, but worked in jacuzzi which seemed odd (maybe pipe still frozen from winter??). The hot water going into the jacuzzi really smells and i dont think that problem is an easy fix. The office did offer a partial refund without me asking for the inconvenience. Problems one and two should have been noticed by staff prior to allowing guests. I’d give them another chance.

We rented the jacuzzi suite for a night and overall it was good. Room is cute and bed was comfy. Only thing I’d say was that the water coming out of the shower STUNK like rotting eggs

thank you for your review. We have very hard water and though very safe to drink, will provide a sulpher smell. We are changing our out water softeners which will help with this issue. I am glad you found the suite to your liking and the bed is very comfortabled! WE hope to see you again soon!

Big suite with nice lake view
We enjoyed the the beautiful view of Calabogie Lake and spacious suite with big balcony overlooking the lake. The suite included a fully stocked kitchen, but it could have been cleaner. We appreciated the easy no-contact check in during these times.

Sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable- I was waking up every 30 minutes. They used a very very old spring mattress that digs into your back. Also, the light switches were faulty. You could not turn them off or on. You would press them to turn off and they would turn back on. Had to sleep the whole night with the lights on. No bottles of water were provided in the room. Disappointing as the well water had a rotten egg smell and a metallic taste.

The room décor was nice but the property could use a little maintenance. Lots of weeds, needs a fresh coat of paint, no lightbulbs in some outdoor lights. We tried to use the jacuzzi tub but the hot water cut out before it filled high enough. Water pressure in shower was awful too. Also air conditioner in room was super loud and constantly turned off and on all night.
