Very quiet and cozy rooms and clean . The dining options are great . The inhouse restaurant had great food as well . We tried the grilled fish and veggies and chicken Biriyani for dinner and they were quite delicious. There is another restaurant at the gate if you would like to taste something different. Both these restaurants serve good food . The staff were great as well . Convenient location as it’s 10 mins to Wawa downtown. Also located within 10 mins is the scenic high falls and the Michipicoten FN territory .

The owner sonny was very friendly and helpful.
We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, with my wife and dog, and were very pleased with the cabin and the surroundings which were very quiet and private.
There is a restaurant on site, but we cooked our own food on the BBQ.
There is a large deck off the kitchen, which overlooks a private wooded area
I would recommend this resort to everyone
