The room I got was a bit older and could use a few updates, but everything felt generally clean, no unpleasant smells, just a little dust here and there. What really makes Sands on Golden Lake special is the view, absolutely magnificent in the early morning, and at night the sky is filled with stars and even a glimpse of the Milky Way since it’s tucked away in the quiet countryside. It’s a beautiful spot for anyone who wants to relax, disconnect, and enjoy nature’s beauty. ##### Kenan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Despina Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The beach at the lake is amazing.

Stopped for one night. Definitely would not recommend. Dirty, not very friendly staff at the check in nice lady on duty in the morning. Breakfast was an experience, muffin, banana, coffee out of a dirty coffee pot and a limited choice of cereal out of 3 old beaten boxes, actually looked like the breakfast was put together from what they could find in the owners kitchen cupboards, this did give us a chuckle though as never seen anything like it. Biggest complaint is how dirty the place is. Clean bedding and towels but everything else was dirty, old and tired. Great view of the lake and nice (misleading) website. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/88983378-5bcd-4ddd-83a3-3fa10f327aaa-1758109077388.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bad0a204-9dcb-44a2-bc9f-eb509f688dbb-1758109076012.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bb863e1f-ce61-447e-b1f9-31ae1e27e7ce-1758109078621.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61ce1d8e-756a-4b0c-a541-4d61c317fea4-1758109072046.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### John Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Doug Aug 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Like that it was on the water, very nice views of the lake.

The hosts were very friendly. There is a breakfast offered but we just happened to have made other arrangements during our stay. There is a well equipped gym in the building across the road from the hotel. ##### Ian Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [BIG Family & Multi-Family Cottage with Incredible View, Hot Tub & Sauna](https://www.expedia.ca/Parry-Sound-Hotels-BIG-Family-Multi-Family-Cottage-With-Incredible-View.h18954980.Hotel-Information) > > [Ste.
