Dear Bruce, Thank you immensely for hosting us. Our stay at your place was an absolute delight, and we cherished every moment. The nearby towns of Dwight and Bracebridge were captivating, each offering its own unique charm and beauty. Your guidance on our tour was invaluable and greatly enhanced our experience. Our final stop at Port Carling was particularly memorable. The route itself was breathtaking, with nature's splendor truly taking center stage. The two days we spent in Huntsville were equally wonderful, surrounded by such serene and picturesque landscapes. We are deeply appreciative of your hospitality and the effort you put into making our visit so special. The natural beauty of the area has left a lasting impression on us, and we already find ourselves wishing we could stay there indefinitely. Once again, thank you for being such a gracious host. We look forward to visiting again soon. Warm regards, Sunghyun & Tarj

Beware!!! No visitors on the property, no Kids on the property and the owner can simply kick you out in the middle of your reservation if he doesn't like your face. I rarely write reviews but couldn't help myself this time. The whole weekend was completely ruined by the rudeness and horrible hospitality. We booked 4 rooms in total. 3 were booked under one name and one was booked by me the last moment. My friends who booked 3 rooms came earlier and were denied occupancy simply because they didn't mention 2 kids for each reservation even though the maximum occupancy for each room was 4 (2 queen beds). After a long battle I gave up my room for them and booked nearby hotel for 1 night (all that was left). The owner Bruce still kicked them out the next morning simply on the fact that he didn't like them. It's unheard of!! He refused any refund and just ask them to leave. So, the sad story was that 8 people including 4 kids were kicked out of paid accommodation for NOTHING!!! I've never been treated like that before and very frustrated. If I could give this motel -10, I would.
