Reviewed By kend448This has become our place to stay for our annual Algonquin Fall Colours Tour Price is reasonable, location excellent just a few minutes either to Huntsville or Algonquin Pk Property is excellent, awesome lakeside setting with lots of nature trails See photos for a idea of the setting Property is well appointed with lounge chairs, bbqs and water gear Staff were helpful and personable, though with Covid we kept our interactions to a minimum Room was clean We stayed two nights, if you need housekeeping service let them know in advance WIFI was spotty at best but truth is we were there to get off the grid so no biggie there This really is a great place to spend your Algonquin trip at See you next year

Amazing Wedding weekend
Reviewed By U7165HHbeckymWe stayed 2 nights for my nieces wedding wedding weekend. Our cabin was Birch and was wonderful, clean and comfy. The hotub was my first stop. Amazing. My adult children also stayed with my 3 year old toddler grandchildren . The resort staff were awesome in accommodating any and all needs for my grandchildren. I have to make a big shout out to Jo Ellen & Aaron, your attention to detail,care & thoughtfulness with Cayde & Amelia was the best. Jo Ellen & Aaron were part of our village that weekend and we all know it takes a village with toddlers. Thank you Trillium for your great staff and accommodations.

Everyone needs a place to lay their weary head. For travelers visiting Dwight, Algonquin Lakeside Inn is an excellent choice for rest and rejuvenation. The rooms offer a flat screen TV and air conditioning, and getting online is possible, as public wifi is available, allowing you to rest and refresh with ease. In addition, as a valued Algonquin Lakeside Inn guest, you can enjoy an on-site restaurant that is available on-site. Guests arriving by vehicle have access to free parking. Should time allow, Oxtongue Rapids Park, J. Albert Bauer Provincial Park, and Big East River Provincial Park are some popular parks that are relatively easy to get to. Algonquin Lakeside Inn is sure to make your visit to Dwight one worth remembering.
THIS PLACE SHOULD NOT BE CHARGING THESE PRICES !!!!!!!!
Reviewed By Doug WThis is a place I have driven by for years and always wondered what it would be like to stay there. SADLY....I got the chance this past week. The FIRST RED FLAG I should have realized is the NO REFUNDS FOR CANCELLATIONS "policy".....Who does THAT???? BUT LET"S START WITH THE POSITIVE(S):..... LOCATION.........and the bedding (in ROOM 10) was clean and provided a comfortable sleep.......and that's about it. So let me begin on the real stuff: All the rest of the negative reviews are pretty much on point. (1) CURBSIDE APPEAL....there is none. A terribly run-down appearance with construction materials all over the place and gravel pushed up to the front of the building for recent flooding. Potholes that jar you and your car as you enter the lot. There is a little digital sign ...hardly legible....and completely invisible from the road above the door advertising $79 per night rates for "walk-ins". The RECEPTION area looked like it was in the process of construction. Even WITH a printed out reservation form...and I was THE ONLY PERSON STAYING THERE....the lady had trouble finding my reservation on the computer. The outside of the actual motel rooms is disturbingly plain and unappealing (2) ROOM CONDITIONS.....from what I observed I probably received the most recently renovated room (ROOM 10) and upon entering it looked nice and clean. On closer inspection that changed. Furniture looked old and was chipped. The telephone was an old business phone and the handset and receiver cradle was ABSOLUTELY FILTHY from years of use somewhere else.. It had obviously NOT been sanitized before my arrival...let alone EVER!!!!!! There was a satellite TV ...with basic programs originating from the WEST COAST, a tea kettle, a microwave and a noisy mini refrigerator. One of the wall switches did nothing and the top wall plug was dead. The patio doors were fairly soundproof but if you are a light sleeper you will still need earplugs for the highway traffic right near the motel as well as the noisy refrigerator. (3) BATHROOM.....it was fairly nice and clean with new towels and some bathroom products provided, This was the closest to a standard motel room as it got although the exhaust fan with the shot motor/bearings was noisy and a potential fire hazard. HOWEVER, when looking at the toilet bowl I thought someone had recently used it as the water was YELLOW!!!!! As it turns out the motel is on well water but its filtration system (if there is one) is NOT WORKING. The water was brackish (yellowish) and tasted "earthy". DEFINITELY I would NOT drink this!!!!! There was no plug rod on the sink for the drain so if you made the mistake of trying to fill the basin you would not have been able to drain it!!!! (4) EXTERIOR and AMENITIES (?)....It would have been nice to be able to sit outside the room at night and see the stars but the "lakeside" lights are constantly on with no wall switch control. This will DEFINITLY be attracting the mosquitoes and black flies soon!!!! As this is a "shoulder" season I was not expecting their canoes or kayaks but I was expecting at least one chair outside my "LAKEVIEW" room. There were a few Muskoka chairs scattered around and a two-seat wooden swing which had tape holding one of the broken supports. NOT particularly safe. Throughout the complex there are a few signs of some improvements such as a new elevated boardwalk to the cabins (why??? flooding??) and a few new picnic tables in a nice shelter which is in need of some scraping and re-painting. All the other bigger housekeeping cabins looked like they were ALL in states of repair. (5) RESTAURANT. I did not even bother to venture in there after looking at the menu provided in the room. The prices are disgustingly exorbitant. Examples: Breakfasts for $16......Burgers for $20.....: 6 chicken wings (a POUND is at least 10 to 12) for $24.95...SERIOUSLY????. How could anybody let alone a family eat here? BOTTOM LINE: I was charged $200 (tax included) per night for this place. WHY? I would NOT stay at this place again even if I DID get the $79 "walk-in" rate they advertised. You can go across the water to an absolutely beautifully maintained year-round proper traditional Muskoka resort with a huge number of established and maintained amenities for the same (and sometimes cheaper) prices.. Do your research and whatever you do...... AVOID THIS PLACE !!!!!

Don't expect breakfast at Touchstone
Reviewed By 351gitadFrom start to finish our stay at touchstone felt like a movie - a comedy. We arrived on Monday - everything was closed. We couldn’t even get so much as a tea or bottle of water at the “resort,” let alone lunch or dinner. Zero food or beverage could be purchased at Touchstone the entire day or evening. At check-in, I tried to book a spa appt, and the reception explained that they have no connection to the spa (which is literally steps away from the reception desk), and I’d need to book any appts through the spa directly. Of course they were closed. She also explained that there would be no in-room housekeeping throughout the stay, “due to COVID.” Though all staff walk around sans mask and had no problem walking right into our room when we had an issue. I’m 8 months pregnant and was looking forward to taking out a paddle boat as advertised on their website, because a canoe wouldn’t be comfortable. I was then informed, “No paddle boats until June.” This morning I woke up excited to finally eat on the outdoor patio of the only restaurant on site. I go down to find a completely empty restaurant. “Restaurant opens at 12pm.” There is NO breakfast option at Touchstone. I’ve never been to a resort that wants you to leave the resort this much to spend $. We then drove into town looking for a restaurant and come to find many restaurants are closed on Tuesday’s. We ended up at McDonald’s. Right before we ventured to find something to eat, we checked in with the spa to make an appt. “Our RMT and Esthetician have both called in sick today. Unfortunately we can’t offer any appointments. But thanks for coming in!” Wonderful. Onto the resort itself. My “superior lakeview room” is tiny and not very attractive. But I will say the grounds themselves are quite lovely. There is a beautiful large dock (which is immaculately clean (looks unused), infinity pool and hot tub, but difficult to fully enjoy without the ability to purchase any food or beverage whatsoever (and no bathroom access from the docks). And finally on our last day, I was enjoying the barren dock before checkout at noon, and headed back up to the room at 10:30am to use the bathroom and pack up (since the bathroom on the dock is closed). Yet another hiccup - our room keys don't work and we are locked out of the room. I called the front desk and she explained the room keys stop working at 11. Except it’s not 11 yet, and I had confirmed late checkout for noon. Her explanation was that “some keys stop working at 11 some stay working until 12.” Hmm. Except, as I repeated, it was not yet 11. Holding in a pee (which isn’t easy to do at 8 months pregnant), I have to trek back to the lobby bathroom and get new room keys for the last hour of the trip. After relieving myself I decided to head back down to the dock to soak up some final rays, then head back to the room at 11:40 to pack up and check out. The keys don’t work again !! If you want to come to Touchstone - don’t come before June, bring water bottles and snacks, don’t bank on the spa, note that checkout is actually 30 minutes before the scheduled time, and expect to leave the resort for breakfast (or bring your own).

Disappointing
Reviewed By Merv WWe were given a 2 bedroom suite but it was very cramped, luckily we only stayed one night. The suite needed renovating but at least the view was nice, overlooking the lake. The only place to eat was at the Golf Club which was overpriced and not very good. My wife had a stir fry with chicken but couldn’t find any meat! We had a quick bite before our golf game, two dried up sandwiches and a cup of coffee and it cost almost $20. Great Golf Course though!
