Biggest Understatement Ever: All units are light housekeeping. And and insult to the term "rustic." My husband, daughter, and I stayed here in 2010 after a wedding. The room was so bad we considered checking out, and driving home. However, after a long day, we chose to chance it. In theory I think this establishment only survives because of its... More

Do not stay here! If you are reading these reviews and thinking to yourself "it can't be that bad", IT IS THAT BAD. Please understand the difference between "rustic" and "old and not taken care of". Our place was run down, smelly, filthy dirty, so HOT and humid that we had trouble breathing!!! The TV did not work, the water... More

This place is a hell hole. We stayed in both the cabins and the hotel room based on the size of our group. The cabin can best be described as a shack, cable tv consisted on AMC and that was all. Beds were terrible, one bed in the motel had bed bugs. The web site makes the place seem alight... More

Would not recommend this place for the amount of money they wanted per night. The cabin was very "rustic", had holes in the walls, only one coat of paint, ramp was rotten and falling apart, very minimal utensils and cooking pans. But it did have a bathroom and a roof over our heads so was not a total waste. It... More

Rustic but very c lean when we got there. Cabin got hot during the day but when we got back in the evening and opened the windows with the fan going cooled off right away. Needed to bring own sleeping bags. Small TV available (we brought our own dvd player). Kitchen was complete with large fridge. Flush toilet and shower... More

Thouht we would spend a couple of nights at Candle Lake, typed in cabin rentals and up pops Joes Cabins. Website looked pretty good - picture of the cabins was pretty promising. Pulled up to the lodge to check in (this should have been the first sign for us), looked like something from a horror film...OK, let's give them the... More

My husband and I arrived at the cabin with eager anticipation. What met us as we opened the door was an very ugly cabin, with filthy walls and floors, a terrible outlay of an improvised kitchen, no utensils or supplies and an undescrible stench! There were stains on all of the walls and furniture, cobwebs in every corner, filth around... More

We have been to many lakes and resorts in Northern Saskatchewan , but this place is the most filthy , disgusting hole we ever stayed at. It was a wet summer and there was a a slough under the cabin , so you can imagine the mosquitos. We were stung by wasps which had a nest in the walls...lizards and... More

Was a little concerned after reading other reviews, but went anyway. Sure the place is a little older, but for a family on a budget GREAT deal. Other places $295 per night at other lakes nearby. If others were expecting 5 Star hotel for $85 per night, half a block from a beautiful beach, they should wake up and smell... More

We booked two of the 3-bedroom cabins for a family reunion of sorts. We travelled with our family with young children and two other families with teenagers. Candle lake is beautiful and we had a boat - there was a great boatlaunch with little if any lineups (a plus coming from the crowded lakes of Alberta). The atmosphere was pretty... More
