Had an AMAZING stay at Canoe Bay. Even though it was unbelievably cold, the cottage with its Fireplace, Steam Shower & Whirlpool was a perfect Escape. The attention to detail in every aspect is amazing from the food that is delivered to the 1st Class meals in the dining room, we were spoiled. Had the weather cooperated, we would have loved to try the available snowshoes on the multitude of trails. Such a beautiful location and the service is impeccable. Thank you!

Our ninth visit to Canoe Bay. Lovely getaway to unwind and relax. The food was superb. Delicious breakfasts, and outstanding dinner. The fall colors were stunning! I can’t say enough about how much we love our visits here. We’re certainly looking forward to coming back again!

Fantastic get a way. Perfect time of year to walk the grounds, explore nature and enjoy the incredible surroundings. Lodging options were great, complimented by great food and service. Will definitely visit again.

Canoe Bay is a remarkable hideaway that combines luxury, nature and amazing design. The resort has stunning cottages that are all unique and well appointed. Our stay was outstanding due to the personalization of the hotel team which was engaging, friendly and committed. We enjoyed wine-paired dinners each night followed by breakfast delivered each morning in handcrafted wooden crates. The property has a 3 acre organic garden which is super impressive and shows the resorts commitment to sustainability. The canoes, kayaks and paddleboards are right there and easy to use on the private lake. I can't recommend Canoe Bay highly enough for anyone seeking tranquility, fine dining, and timeless design in a breathtaking natural setting..

The food operation at Canoe Bay is a complete ripoff, and not just because of the prices. I’m very willing to pay a premium price for premium quality and service, but Canoe Bay fell woefully short. They completely forgot our cheese tray delivery order and admitted as much when we called to check up on it. Then, when finally delivering it so late, they forgot the wine we had ordered with it. The delivery person said “I’m just the delivery person.” That’s a direct quote. Later that evening our dinner for two (delivered to the room because we respected their dining room dress code which we hadn’t packed for) was delivered with no set-up whatsoever. We answered the door and the delivery person came in, put the delivery tray on our table, and left. No removal of the covers or plastic wrapping on all the food, no set-up at all. This is a $200 dinner. But the worst problem was that the portions were incredibly tiny, looked thrown together, and included no bread. We have relatively small appetites but there was so little food that we had to drive into town to get pizza afterward. At checkout they removed the mandatory $20 service tip from the cheese/wine delivery, but did nothing about the dinner. Their standard thank-you email, sent a few days after our stay, asked that guests call if there were any issues. So I called but was told no manager was available so they would have one call back. That was more than a week ago. No one has called. We feel like fools for spending $2000 for what was supposed to be a special weekend. Every business in the service industry will occasionally have things go wrong, so the key is how they recover to keep that customer. It appears Canoe Bay does not care.
