Great location on the way to Algonquin. Family run and the hosts are very attentive. My son and I had a great Father’s Day here exploring the area, and there’s even a beautiful trail behind the hotel with a scenic river. The rooms are comfy and beds are well-kept and clean. Will be coming back here in the future with other family members.

Had a wonderful weekend stay! The room was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and had everything I needed to relax. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Such a cozy and beautifully decorated room! It felt like a home away from home, and the attention to detail really made my weekend extra special. The staff was incredibly welcoming. I will definitely be returning! Highly recommend.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Our expectation of a “luxury tent” experience didn’t include black mold on the walls behind the bed, in the bathroom and inside the shower walls and on the curtains. In addition, we were surprised to find that there was no way to lock the tent. If you choose to stay in tent #1, the sounds of highway 60 are audible, so be aware that this isn’t exactly a tranquil setting. The wood floors are pretty filthy so be sure to bring flip flops to walk around and shower with. If this review is met with the “why didn’t you say anything during the stay?” rebuttal, my response in advance would be, “why not proactively get rid of the black mold and install a lock, thereby providing your guests something resembling safe and secure?”
