The property is showing its age and could use some updates. The room I was in had a rancid smell that I couldn’t get out without leaving the window open (problematic in December).

The snow drifts were about 3 feet high blocking the access to our jacuzzi room that cost over $300. There were no wine glasses or a functioning corkscrew. The room had a kitchenette but most of the drawers and cupboards were empty, so bringing our own food was pointless. The attached restaurant had limited hours for a Saturday night so we felt rushed. The food tasted good, sadly some of it was served cold. The dining service was slow and very poor. The wine was stale, you could taste that the bottle had been open for quite some time. We did not even have our dirty plated removed even after putting them on another table. The restaurant was not busy, only 3 table occupied so that was not the reason for the poor service. The prices are high enough you would expect much more for such a beautiful place.

I always wanted to stay here, and I finally got to knock that item off my bucket list. It was everything I hoped. I'll share a story from my stay. I pulled up and was greeted by the sweetest golden retriever. I gave him some attention, and he lapped it up. He must have decided we were friends because he followed me into the lobby to check in. I just assumed he must belong to the family that runs the resort and thought nothing of it. Really one of the sweetest dogs. There was no one around, but my keys and everything were ready for me. (Late check-in. It was so nice just to be able to go straight to my room after driving in less-than-ideal weather all day.) I teased the dog that my room must have come with a friend. He seemed to agree. The dog followed me back out of the lobby to where a truck had pulled up. A guy & 2 boys got out. Turns out they live in town and the dog had gotten out of the yard. They were quite thankful and very relieved to find their furry loved one. Best part? The roads down from the highway were really yucky, so I asked the dog's owner if he knew about what time the snow plow goes through. "Did you know my dad works for Volker Stevin?" The boy asked. I had no idea. I was sort of shocked for a minute. So of course, he knew exactly when the plow would go through. That really made my night 😂😍 It's always beautiful here, but there's something special about this place in the winter. Everyone is so friendly and kind.

The property nestled in the picturesque Cyprus Hills park close to the lake has very much a lodge feeling. The accomodating staff make every effort to make the stay an enjoyable one. A great place to meet up with friends or share time with family.

Close to restaurants and the beach. Dog friendly room was right next to the elevator so with the increased traffic/noise caused increased barking. Probably should have those rooms down at the end of the hallway on both floors.

The stay was amazing, the lodge is just really old but that’s to be expected at these locations and the lodge has a lot of unique characteristics and the kids has a great time!! Family friendly!! The on-site restaurant is more of a pub, sticky floors and over priced, was not clean and dark and dingy. The rooms have full kitchens so better to cook your own food.

Located well to walk anywhere in town/lake. The room was not ready at check in time. Bring your own food as there was only 1 place to eat and the hours of operation were limited. Thank you.

Poorly managed
In the room we booked, the toilet stopped flushing. It was not clogged, and the staff suggested taking the toilet paper out. They then moved us to the room next to it, which was filthy, as if they were doing renovations and did not clean it.

Horrible restaurant in the hotel. Dirty, bad service, bad food. Bring food or plan to buy overpriced food at the local gas station instead.

An upper floor room would’ve been excellent had balcony and quieter no one above but felt as paid through Expedia automatically got a room on main floor versus top (2nd) floor.

Yearly Vacation
We stay here every year to take in Elkwater parks’ many winter amenities. Our rating dropped a notch this year as the pool is in need of some TLC. Filters are ransacked with hair, hot tub is at room temperature, tile floors are grimy, and the liner in the bottom of the pool is lifting in all areas. Overall, still one of our favourite vacations of the year and already booked again for Christmas 2023.
