Travel has been very difficult these past two years with Covid, so we decided that we would stay close to home and explorer Northern Ontario. We were looking for a good area for photography with great accommodations, amenities, and onsite dining. We found it all, plus some, at the Marten River Lodge with hosts Peter and Tania. We stayed in a cozy log cabin, that they had ready for us, down to having the fireplace and lights on. Because we didn't want to drag food, and bedding, we opted for the American Plan. With all the health and safety precautions, we were unable to each in the dining room, so our meals were promptly served at a set time in our cabins. The meals were top-notch, and I would recommend choosing the American Plan vs cooking on your own. But if you were wanting to do the latter, they had a BBQ at each cabin, stove/oven, microwave, fridge/freezer, and even a large bonfire in the evening for smores and hotdogs! Now neither Rosemarie nor I know how the run a boat but Peter personally took us out on the river for photography. For fun, we also took the optional ATV tour. Now this was a MUST!!! They are truly dog-friendly and my little Westie loved being on the boat and ATV. The whole site was well maintained. They have cabins for single or family groups. While there was no AC, location right on the water with large screened-in porches. Great for fishing, free WiFi in the family-style lounge. Lots of amenities. Great hosts and the chef is fabulous. Wonderful gazebo and bonfire areas. The cabins were spotless, and the docks, boats, equipment, outbuildings, and grounds were well maintained. Would I recommend the Marten River Lodge? Absolutely! Would I go again? You bet!…
