"We had an amazing time. The facilities were awesome ­ very clean and had everything we could want: fireplace, lighting, whirlpool. I cannot say enough about the chef ­ absolutely fabulous."

The Inn operates on a Modified American Plan which provides for breakfast and dinner. Guests are welcome to enjoy our Alfresco lunch on our lakefront patio - featuring a selection of tapas and appetizers or simply ask and we will put together a scrumpteous basket for you to enjoy on your daily adventure. Dinner has two sittings, one early sitting for families with young children and a later one usually reserved for couples

Reserve dinner for two in your cottage or suite to start a special evening off on the right note. This candle lit dining experience is sure to impress. Please reserve 24 hours in advance.

Our Chef's enjoy preparing seasonal menues that incorporate the bounty of the Kawarthas. As a member of Kawartha Choice our approach is to use local sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Dinner is a special time at the Inn, our menues feature a variety not commonly experienced at resorts. The summer time allows us to feature a selection of fresh & locally sourced items on our delcious Soup/ Salad and appetizer buffet, and Wednesdays are popular with our expanding Pasta Bar (come early and avoid the lineups).

IOutside the summer months our menues reflect a true dining experience with a 5 course selection. A sample menu appears below, and our average pricing for our pre set menu would be
$38 - $ 45.00.
