I am normally one not to write a review, but after reading all the positive reviews on this site, I feel obligated to say that this place is not up to par with the description and the pictures. First off when you advertise a fully functional commercial stove, you da*n well better have it there when guest arrive. This made it very difficult to feed a family of 24 total people, which each family takes a night cooking. We had to use several cabins in order to just prepare one meal due to the size and functionality of the stoves in the smaller cabins and then transport all the food to the lodge. Another problem we had was the rudeness of the staff from the first day of arrival. This is just unacceptable and needs to be brought to the attention of the owner. Although the dock was nice, before the storm the caretaker brought his boat over, and took up one of the dock spaces. This caused us to cram three boats into 2 slots. After the storm, we almost lost one of the boats as it filled with water. This was not a fun thing to walk down to at 5.30 in the morning. But at least the caretakers boat was safe and still floating!!! Then came the overbooking of the cabins. We were surprised when we were flagged in and told that we had less than three hours to get our 3 boats out of the water, cabins packed up, squeeze in a fish fry to use the fish that had been cleaned, and still try to keep out sanity. I understand that mistakes happen, I just don't understand why the wedding party couldn't be the one to find alternative housing, as we were already there. It was posted in the lodge that our checkout time was noon on Saturday, not Friday. Although the owner found us alternate housing in Kenora, I still feel we should be recieving a refund for at least part of the week, as it was not up to standard with what was promised, we had 3 hours to pack up and leave. Water Trampoline was broken, (Watched care taker purposefully drag trampoline through boat trailers, rocks, sticks, pushed it down hill, and then wonders why there are holes in it) Caretaker was rude to guests, No Fish house to clean fish, got eaten alive trying to do it at a picnic table.
PS: My cousins review was responded to and the owner made my family out to be criminals, we never trashed the cabins, we never broke any locks, we didn't steal anything. The fact that we are being accused of this is ludicrous. We paid for a week, and we have texts to prove that we had the cabins for a week.
