“The dining experience was quite enjoyable. The seafood chowder was to die for! I also had the halibut, which was cooked flawlessly. Though there were a few hiccups with my husband's dish being slightly dry, the delight of the chowder and the ambiance made it a nice meal overall.” view full review

I had a lovely experience at the resort with beautiful buildings and well-maintained grounds, reminiscent of Niagara on the Lake. The staff made my stay special, even going above and beyond during a 100th birthday celebration. However, I did encounter some issues with cleanliness in the dining area and dated rooms that could use some attention. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but there are areas for improvement.
