Fairy Bay Lakehouse

Me and my family of 5 had a short visit here driving through and I wish I had had the time to stay longer. Kids had a great time kayaking and swimming on the sandy beach and it was nice there were swings and a little playground to help keep them busy as well. If we’d had more time I would have had a little fire to roast marshmallows and BBQ right on the beach. The staff were very nice and accommodating, anything we needed was no problem. I will definitely be returning soon and would highly recommend staying here solo or with family, so much to do and see. Absolutely beautiful, thanks for having us!

Great location by the lake with amazing views. Kayak canoe are also available.

Rooms were clean, but the parking area needed to be plowed, poor snow removal.

We made a last-minute decision to stay at the Fairy Bay Lakehouse, and we’re so glad we did! The property is gorgeous and welcoming with its private beach and dock. The room was beautiful and clean, and the bed was maybe the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in!

Booked this place last minute for my husband and I as a half way stop on our way home from our vacation. It was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. I’d highly recommend anyone to give this place a try. Just a side note, the one canoe is missing it’s rear seat and makes it very scary to use but I’m sure they’ll fix it!

We wanted a last minute get away and the Fairy Lake lakehouse ticked all the boxes. It was small, quiet, on the lake with a beach, kayaks, sups and canoe at our disposal. The lake has ducks, and even a beaver was spotted from the dock. The water was lovely. We were close to everything, tree top trekking, golf, Huntsville, hiking trails and even kawartha dairy. Our room was exceptionally clean and quite spacious. For my teenager there was wifi and a big screen tv. I would definitely return here.

This was a conundrum. The location of this is nice - on the lake with a couple of kayaks and canoes available. It seems like it used to be a bed and breakfast, but it was booked through Hotels.com and it seemed to be a full service inn. But nobody was on site to meet us when we arrived, although a key with our name was left at the front desk. We did meet the manager, who was working his first season at the inn. The owners were not on site. Our room was very nice. Although in the basement, it has windows and was clean and modern. No breakfast other than a few snacks left in the room. The wifi in the basement room was not reliable. The main problem was on the ground - while it looked nice from afar, the beach area was a a favorite of geese, with goose droppings and feathers all over the area including the lawn. We saw the flock come up the first evening, so this was a regular hangout for them. There are certainly means to repel geese such as shiny selectors and a string across the shore (or at least parts of it). My general feeling is this could be a very nice place but with the absent owner and a manager who seemed to be the only employee and one seemingly without much experience to run the place, this would be more suitable as an AirBnB than something listed as an “inn”. The general location relative to Huntsville and Algonquin is excellent, so that’s a plus. Not sure why this review was initially flagged, so I’ll try again.

We liked the fact that the property was on the lake and that we could use the kayak. The kids played on the beach. But the decoration needs maybe more attention, not modern, not cosy enough, a bit too rustic.

My Room was exceptional with corner views of the lake. Swimming from the dock was perfect. A beautiful place I highly recommend.

The property is wonderful. Clean, very good service, many options for fun on the lake. We loved it, we'll be back for sure!

Room spotless. Great view and the young manager was sp so helpful

Beautiful private beach, view of the water from my room, very clean. Great friendly service as well

Clean room , staff excellent, very responsive.

Beautiful Lakehouse, well kept, friendly staff, clean, spacious and well-appointed rooms, with all necessary comforts and then some

Check in was seamless, Owner was kind and helpful. Rooms are very clean and spacious.

Room was clean and had everything needed.

This is a beautiful lake house with a private beach! We had the best room in the house (king bed) and it was a huge space with beautiful kitchen, comfortable bed and private deck. The views were breathtaking! The management was very accommodating and catered to any needs we had. We will definitely go back! The only improvement could be that some things were well loved and could use replacing (i.e. cushions on outdoor furniture, mattress cover had stains on it). Still highly recommend!!

Given the price we were charged the for accommodation, the quality was shocking. The issues with the room were as follows: (1) Bathroom smelled on mold/ mildew and shower curtain was moldy, (2) Bathroon sink did not drain, (3) Bathroom mirror had electric wires exposed, (4) Large water and mold stain in the entrance hall to the room, (5) Paint peeling in bathroom ceiling, (6) Could not regulate room temperature and needed a space heater brought in, (7) Blind did not work which meant we slept with an open blind all night. We could not get the room to warm up above 20c and when the manager brought us a space heater after we had left, he left our room open to which we returned hours later. We had left valuables and electronics in the room. Really nice spot and set up with nice furnishings and linen, but if you are charging $450 a night for a room in Huntsville, you can't offer sub standard accommodation with the issues i listed above. Would not stay here again or recommend

Some dust behind the bed. Couldn’t open windows. No shower in our room. Large soaker tub though. Nice view, overall nice place

It was great! We got there a bit early and they let us change into our hiking clothes and be on our way! We loved! The mattress it was comfortable and i got a wonderful sleep! No shower in our room but a beautiful jacuzzi tub! Overall we will be back in the summer for kayaking!

Nice quiant lakehouse with decent views. Rooms were ok but the fans or air exchangers (even coming from other rooms) are super loud. We also did not have a shower in ours, yet is said there was on the listing. Other than that, a great location and place.

Great place, Lake access is great. The rom is spacious and clean. If have a chance, I will return there for sure.

The internet inside the room was little unstable, but the property manager tried to help the situation.

Beautiful location! Well furnished rooms with a separate lounge. Property is only a 10 minute drive from downtown Huntsville so very convenient. The General Manager Amit was very welcoming. Would not hesitate to book again.

Room is a bit dates. No shower just an old corner jacuzzi tub. Fine for just a place to stay for a night.

Clean room , staff excellent, very responsive.

Beautiful property and nice fall color around the lake. Very helpful staff. Property manager was very proactive.

Check in was seamless, Owner was kind and helpful. Rooms are very clean and spacious.

Great room. Nice location. Nice property. Booked for three people but only two coffee cups in the room. Should have had supplies for three people. We went and found an extra cup on our own. Only one person on staff. Waited 15 minutes for someone to come when we checked in and had to go and find the person when we checked out. Parking was limited. Some people had to park on the road. Price too high for what was offered.

Super excellent hospitable customer service. Amit the general manager went out of his way to take our bags to our room, got my daughter a ponytail tie and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Excellent views from the lake house, great amenities, clean and family friendly. Loved the kayak, canoe including life jackets, fishing gear etc.

Great service by Amit. Overall pleasant experience and a really nice and relaxing place to stay. Definitely would come back.

We had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a stunning lake right at the back of the property. Amit was incredibly helpful throughout.

After check in there was no staff to handle little issues (e.g. need for more coffee). If your fob didn’t work in the evening, it was not possible to contact the staff to let you into the building. We watch a lot of sports on TV which are typically on cable channels. They only have streaming with no live TV.

I stayed here a year ago and the girl at the front desk provided great customer service, room was large and soundproof. There were snacks in the room and free Netflix, Disney and Prime. This year there was no one at the desk when I arrived shortly after check in time. My fob was left at the desk to get into my room. I had a jetted tub instead of a shower, but the plug didn’t work, so needed to mcgiver a way to keep the plug in as no staff on site. There were 4 rambunctious boys that spent between 6 pm and 11 pm running around, play fighting and screaming in the common area below me while their parents (owners?) were on the lower floor. I had to ask them to be quiet 5 times. Prime was included, no Netflix, no snacks, but a couple water bottles. Comfortable bed, clean room, spacious and cozy. Nice to have the bar fridge and microwave. Would have been a more pleasant stay with staff available to shut down the noise.

This is a cute property with a lovely location on Fairy Bay just a few miles outside of Huntsville and about a 40 minute drive from the Algonquin Park. There are a few boats / paddleboards available onsite and a convenient deck for evenings by the bay. The property itself could really use some upgrades. It was fine, but with a little more attention to detail could be something special.

Mooi gelegen ten opzicht algonquin nationaal park

The property was beautiful with a scenic view of Fairy Lake.

The accommodations were lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the staff were friendly. I would recommend this hotel and will definitely book again. The location is a ten minute drive to downtown and is located on a lake so the view was amazing. It was worth the price.

Very welcoming, and clean unit. Close to Huntsville for dining & shopping. Loved the great view from the room and so peaceful.

This secluded place is a gem, very quiet and peaceful, very much enjoyed sitting looking over the lake as the sun set. The rooms are great as well, plenty of amenities. And you’re not far from the town where there’s plenty of places to eat and drink.

Great relaxing place. No restaurant but if secluded and a great quiet place is what you are looking for, that is the place

The Fairy Bay Lakehouse is a beautiful, cozy and comfortable place to retreat. Right on the water and surrounded by trees, it feels very naturey while still being a 6 minute drive from Starbucks. Also a 10 minute drive to the x-country ski trails. Loved it!

Beautiful location

I truly hate giving a bad review but this place is very over priced for what you get. We booked the signature rom which the picture shows a view of the lake. $361.00 for 1 night. They showed us our room on the lower level with hardly you could see the lake and the room was nothing special. Motels these days offer nicer newer rooms. They showed us the one bedroom unit which is huge.Which we took for an additional $120.00. Because we diid not want to stay in the room they were giving us. And the pictures they show on Hotels.com are mostly of the one bedroom unit. The unit was not clean. Grease onthe counter & stove. My husbands feet were black from walking around the suite with no shoes. I could feel soap on the shelf in the shower. The property is beautiful, peaceful and quiet. But the top floor of the house has 4 bedroom unit and you can hear the people walking above you, and i was woken bythe noise of someone running back and forth across the floor. Very overpriced for what you get. Cant believe they can get those prices and notoffer Breakfast.

Lake view, free boats, fridge microwave in room. Near Deerhurst for restaurants

Nice and clean rooms, beautiful outside area. It would’ve been nice to have some food options, but Huntsville is close so you can get food there.

Très beau cadre, jolie chambre bien équipée, superbe vue, parking à disposition, dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de petit-déjeuner proposé
