We arrived at around 7:15pm, but the door of the reception was closed! And they even didn't accept us to have the dinner at its restaurant, the staff said the lastest reservation time for the dinner was at 6:45! We stayed at a room, not a cottage, we can hear the people who stayed next room, talking clearly just as they were sleeping beside you, it is not private at all!

It is a great place. It's about 20 mins to Algonquin Park and is surrounded by the great view. To be honest, I love the lake which is in front of the cabin.

Great lodge in the heart of nature
This lodge is the perfect get away retreat in the heart of nature. The cabins and rooms are very comfortable and the staff is extremely friendly, professional and good at their jobs. The dinning room staff and cook are amazing. This is the perfect spot for a beautiful escape from the business of life to relax on beautiful Lake Spectacle. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great relaxing time in the gorgeous heart of nature.

Very basic accommodations
The front desk was very friendly. The bed was uncomfortable. There were no toiletries provided not even a bar of soap. No Wi-Fi in the room only inside main building.

It was just how I remembered it from 14 years ago
Driving in on the 1 km road, off Hwy 60, was like going back in time. I had been here about 14 years prior and it all looked just as I remembered it.
The food was excellent and it was so peaceful canoeing on the lake and sitting in front of our cabin later in the evening.
I would definitely go back...maybe not waiting another 14 years!
