Nice community. I get the sense this place is not being kept up. Service was minimal through our stay and the workers didn't seem to know what they were supposed to do. It was disappointing that the staff are not trained and the place is not being maintained as you can see it had been a nice property.

The property was very well used and out dated for the price of the room there wasn’t even a facecloth to wash your face sorry always wanted to spend a weekend there but was very disappointed and other guests I was speaking with also felt the same.Dont know for certain but must be owned by a corporate operation and not really looking after it

Go somewhere else !!

This is a very sad, dated place, worn carpets and furnishings. No utensils provided apart from a couple of cups. They had a fridges and microwave but no knives forks or spoons. Check in was not very friendly, given the place was virtually empty.

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.

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.

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.

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.
