Not sure why some of these review are so negative- my son and I have enjoyed the lodge many times - found the rooms to be great - and the food to be good as well. We go for the lake and hiking - always found it quiet and comfortable. In fact I am just going to see if we... More

I recently attended a wedding at Burleigh falls and the venue was beautiful. The wedding coordinator Jennifer was very helpful and friendly, however when the event actually took place, the service staff left much to be desired. They were understaffed for the wedding and also for breakfast the following day (even knowing that the hotel was full). We tried to... More

My husband and I do not get the chance to get away often as we have two small children, one with sever asthma that requires alot of attention. We found this amazing place only about an hour away from home, it was close enough to get home in a hurry if we need to go home. The resort is absolutely... More

After hearing the repeat radio/newspaper advertisements about how romantic Burleigh Island Lodge was going to be for Valentines, my spouse and I made reservations. This was our first time visiting the establishment, and we were excited to finally get a romantic night out. When we arrived no one met us at the door. When someone finally noticed us standing around... More

We thought it might be nice to stay one time, well after staying there we wished we would haven driven right by once again. When making reservations I booked a room in... More

We stayed at the lodge July 11 & 12 2008. We were attending a wedding in the area at 2:00 pm on 7/12/2008. We left the hotel at 10:00 am and told the receptionist that we would be back at noon to dress for the wedding. When we returned, we found that our room was not made up and that... More

From their website I imagined a luxurious retreat. It was not. This is a lodge sitting right on the edge of the road with a gas station, conveince store/gift shop and hot dog stand. There is a "spa" or small beautyshop above the store. We stayed in one of the hotel rooms. It was in a row of 4 or... More

My boyfriend and I planned the perfect boy/girl long weekend getaway. For the "boy" part of our trip, we camped 2 nights on crown land on Chandos Lake near Peterborough. It was perfect even without bathroom facilities!! Sleeping under the stars, camp fires, fishing and good lovin'! For the "girl" part of our trip we booked 1 night at the... More

The "Lodge" is overpriced, to include the run-down cottages that are a far cry from cleanliness. The restaurant is noisy and we could not even hear ourselves due to a "band" screaming in our ears while we we having dinner. Certainly not a vacation spot but more of hangout for the locals. Really not managed very well. A fairly decent... More
