Cozy and Clean

We rented a two-bedroom deluxe cottage, and I was impressed by how clean it was. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, and the cozy living space made it feel like home. It was the perfect setting for our family getaway.

Perfect for Families

The outdoor facilities for children were fantastic! With water crafts available and plenty of grassy areas to play, my kids had an absolute blast kayaking and paddleboarding. It was a great family-friendly environment.

Relaxing by the Lake

The serene setting of the hotel allowed for relaxation unlike any other place I've visited. We spent our days lounging by the beautiful lake, and the use of canoes and pedal boats added to the leisurely experience.

Breakfast Delights

We were pleasantly surprised by the thorough breakfast basket provided each morning. It made our mornings easy and delicious! The option to have a breakfast prepared like this takes away the hassle of cooking.

We had an amazing stay at Colonial Bay Cottages and Motel, truly feeling at home thanks to the warm welcoming from Bruce and Nicolle. The surroundings were peaceful, and the property was right on the lake, offering stunning views and plenty of water activities.

My family and I had quite an unpleasant stay at Colonial Bay Cottages. While the location by the lake was lovely and provided a relaxing environment, the rooms were outdated and not well-maintained. We faced cleanliness issues and felt unwelcome due to the owners' attitudes. Despite the beautiful property, the lack of modern amenities and the subpar service made it hard to enjoy our time there, especially with kids.

There were no microwaves in the rooms, and the overall facilities felt neglected. The beach area was minimal, which was disappointing.

6.0/10

My recent stay at this resort was quite disappointing. The location has potential, being near the lake, but the accommodations were outdated and really need an upgrade. However, the hospitality from Bruce and Nicole was a highlight, making the place a bit more bearable. Unfortunately, the lack of air conditioning during the hottest week of the summer was tough to handle, and the beach area is practically non-existent. For the price we paid, the value just wasn't there, especially with so many other options around.

Rooms
