A word of caution: be aware of the mosquitoes and bring your bug spray with you, especially now in springtime.

The Trace at Oak Lake is a perfect destination for a relaxing weekend. The highlight is a paddle tour on the lake, which features several islands to explore. With minimal boat traffic, it’s an ideal spot for a peaceful paddle and a refreshing swim. The Nordic spa is a fantastic addition, providing a great way to unwind after a day on the water.

Bathroom was tiny but expected for a cabin experience. The stay in a 2 bedroom cabin might be tight for 4 adults.

Beautiful location right on the lake. Comfy beds, the cabin kitchen was well stocked, lots of facilities on premises like kayaks, indoor/ outdoor games etc.

Staff could supply or ensure can openers in all cottages and Suites. Had to borrow one from another guest.

Great place to relax and unwind. Staff is Exceptional. Owner was very helpful to me. If you have a dog who likes other dogs , and likes people, then this is the place for you to enjoy the Canadian wilderness. You and Your dog will love it. Recommend you stay in one of the cottages. Lots of activities available. Remember to bring all your food supplies as you are some distance away from stores. Cottages and Suites are fully equipped for cooking and there is a small shop with some supplies available. Will stay again. Highly recommend

I wish that all 3 days was with nice weather. The bugs were really annoying. All that was out of our hand. I do not have any dislikes.

I like lake - swimming was refreshing, I even jump few times - and beach - neatly organized with Muskoka chairs and a loungers - and stuff especially Evin. I like outside activities. Sauna is nice to use. Overall, it was excellent experience.

I don’t have any complaints what so ever.

The whole vibe at this resort was amazing! Our dog was MORE than welcomed everywhere on the grounds, and even off leash as long as they are well behaved. Every little thing we needed was there. The staff were fantastic, fun, always available and very accommodating. So many activities to choose from (paddle boards, pedal boat, motor boat rental, indoor and outdoor games, swimming, sauna), amazing views from every cabin, tons of privacy in your cabin but also lots of opportunity to socialize in the common areas. ALSO super comfy beds and cozy cottage!! 20/10!

The room could’ve been a bit cleaner, shower and fridge in particular and our bathroom door needed to be adjusted because it wouldn’t line up to close. A couple repairs needed on the outdoor stairways, our screen door, step etc. I know they’ve been working hard at upgrading/renovating, there was nothing that isn’t a quick fix or ruined our experience!

Awesome location, outdoor seating areas, docks, water toys, indoor and outdoor activities. Rooms were great, kitchens outfitted well with cutlery, dishes etc. Great list of supplies available for purchase and loved the honour system. Felt safe and comfortable on the property. Owners and staff were amazing!!

reception problem and bad wifi was the only thing but all the other amenities and location totally made us forget about our phones.

the whole resort is a gem. i would like to go back more often to this resort. such a nice location and the host were to nice and friendly. the upgraded our stay without extra charges and provided us with so many amenities free of charge. there were boats kayaks canoes and even motor boats. they had so many board games , badminton basketball and even table tennis. the game room was so well stocked i was shocked to see so much. the view and location of the resort was super nice. if u are a dog owner this is a really nice place ti take your furry babies. the host allowed the dogs to go off leash and explore the area. definitely a must visit every summer and a place to always go back.

That we couldn't stay longer. Everything was perfect.

The Trace at Oak Lake exceeded all expectations. My girlfriend and I were looking for a relaxing and calm getaway from work and the Trace did just that. Not only did it offer plenty of amenities, but it offered a cozy and homey feel that made us want to extend our stay beyond the weekend. The couple that owns the property, Tom and Erin, were super welcoming, friendly, and amazing throughout our entire trip. Them and their beautiful dog, Abbey, greeted us once we drove up and gave us an informative tour on all the amenities that the Trace offers. Yoga in the morning, peddle boat/kayaks to explore the lake, hot sauna, hot tub, and a beautiful view of Oak Lake provided an amazing and a connective experience with nature. If you're looking for a quiet, calm, and beyond relaxing getaway within Ontario, the Trace is the place to be.

The doc is a bit slippery when it's wet.

This place is so good that I don't want other people to know about it. :) Location is perfect, rooms are perfect, resort set up is perfect. We have stayed in Queen Studio Chalet. The room is large and the extra room (den) is a good bonus. Matras , pillows, duvet are very nice. Kitchen equipped with has everything you might need. The lake is very nice, clean and was very warm , the view is amazing . It's very nice that you can use watercrafts on your taste (canoe, kayaks, paddle boats, motor boats(license required the rental is extra). It's really quiet, and the tenants wants to be quiet as well. We love that we can bring a dog. Our dog enjoy it very much and made new friends. The best place in Ontario we have been.

The location was beautiful . The lake was so clear and quiet, it’s was amazing to hear nothing but the odd crow talking to one another at such a far distance across the water . And the loons talking at night . This holiday stay was amazing, a 10 .

Erin and Tom have created a true sanctuary on this magical lake! They have put a lot of work into making it a special place. Carlene's yoga classes made it even more special! She is a fabulous teacher and we loved our morning yoga sessions with her. Can't wait for next year!

No need for improvement on anything.

Everything was great. We have travelled often to various locations and this was one of our favourites. The lake was beautiful, scenic and great swimming. Atmosphere was very laid back.
