This is a great place to stay to explore the Cabot trail area. We had a lake view room with a beautiful view. Rooms are clean although a little dated. The carpet could be replaced. The restaurant is good too but was only open for breakfast during our stay. We did not use any other amenities due to time of year.

The bed was comfortable, the view was spectacular and the staff were great. Something was wrong with our tub and they moved us right away to a new room. Sadly, the dining room was not in service. I can see this being a great spot in the summer!

The staff was excellent and very friendly. Unfortunately the rooms were tired. Our first room had a strong smell so we switched to a Chalet. It had some updates so it so it looked better than the motel room but there was a dank smell like stinky wet dog in this second one. Overall, although it looked relatively clean the smell and peeling paint on the bathroom door and old heater just made it feel dirty. Very disappointing. Also the restaurant was closed due for repairs.

Stayed here May 2026 for 2 nights. The wonderful views are the only positive about this property. Pictures online are very deceptive as the property is apparently under renovation and WOW does it need it. But no sign yet of any work being done. The room was very old and a little smelly. No microwave. The timber decks in the front and back actually looked dangerous with rotting boards. Both the bar and restaurant were closed. Was very expensive for what we got.

We stayed here for two nights at the end of May 2026. The rooms were dated but very comfortable and large. We ate dinner at McCurdy’s one night and the food was fantastic. There are only two suggestions I would have number one the hotel should put power strips behind the entertainment unit to allow for the coffee maker laptops, iPhone power chargers to be plugged in. There were very few wall plugs in the room. Secondly, the Internet was the not great. My Canadian Rogers mobile phone would not work with their Internet and I ended up resorting to using my data plan. This hotel needs to upgrade their Internet by using boosters located closer to the rooms
