    It was very clean and a very comfortable stay. No smell. They have a canoe and kayaks in the property for free use. They have gas bbqs, but we brought our own charcoal bbq. We sat near the lake while we watch the sunset. We also enjoyed the bonfire so much. It was a plus. I’d book this property again in the future.

    Our stay was really good, i dont like saying anything negative because we thoroughly enjoyed our time! The room was clean, shower nice, water hot. I appreciated little things like that the blow dryer was very powerful! The sliding door screen was loose and frayed, but thankfully no bugs came in. It was very very hot in the room as it was extreme heat of 35 degeees out. The provided fans did help a lot! We thought "lakeview" in the ad was misleading. You do have to step outside out of the motel to see a partial glimpse until you walk a short distance and can then see it. It is a beautiful property and the view was pleasant, just different than we thought. We recommend people bringing their own paper coffee filters to get the full enjoyment out of the coffee maker. Our stay was fantastic and we would love to come back to colonial bay resort.

    The lake was amazing, sandy, shallow, and very warm, what a great swimming spot! Thank you for the complimentary use of a variety of different water craft, it was the highlight for us! We liked that we could park right in front of our room too, and the sliding door was a nice feature which a lot of motels don't have!! The room was lovely and had everything we needed. The matresses were in excellent condition. We found the location perfect. Even though we could slighly hear a bit of the hwy traffic when outside, it was worth it to be close for our other travel plans, and have more time to enjoy the resort. We wish we could have had stayed longer!

    There were too many little ants/insects. Could not open the window and saw many as soon as we entered. Could’ve provided insect spray and repellent

    It was a cute small cottage. Nice view and amenities provided

    It was our second stay at the resort and we definitely will come back. The atmosphere that owners create there cannot be provided at a bigger facility. Amazing people, great rooms and beautiful lake! Love it there! Unbelievable hiking trails around the area as well.

    A nice setting for a weekend stay although I feel I over paid for what was basically a motel room.

    Sadly it was the hottest day of the summer at 30°C and the rooms have no air conditioning. There were fans provided which offered some relief. The chairs outside the sliding doors on the walkway to enter the room obstructed accessibility when carrying luggage.

    In the setting by the water was lovely and access to swimming was great. There were lots of chairs and lounges to sit around the water and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

    Beautiful region, 2-star motel. Expect exactly that and you'll be happy.

    The entrance to the lake could be better, especially for small kids, although not a huge problem. The unities are old and they do not have air conditioning what makes the experience less pleasant when the heat waves are in effect. We cannot cook at the unities and there is no breakfast around, we have to drive to the city for a Tim Hortons or something like that. The playground isn't inviting although kids might spend the day in the water. In the end the place is pretty much the 2-star that is advertised.

    Lake is great, not so busy. Good for families. Restaurants nearby. All attractions are within a 10-15 min drive.

    All they are after is money. They ask for money for cleaning after you leave and donot let you eat inside rooms. and ask for money if any thing is broken. By accident. Donot give discount but overcharge u. Will never go back.
