Perfectly fine accommodation near Smithton, only about 15 mins to Stanley and the Nut. The rooms are kind of like cabins situated off the main complex, in groups of about 6-8. They are older style rooms but the bathroom looked renovated and modernised. The rooms themselves are adequate but sadly no air-conditioning so for us it had no airflow and was stuffy. We opened the windows but then the noise of people and cars on the gravel roads were noisy and in the morning the birdlife, as much as nature is nice, was too noisy. The restaurant was lovely with great service and the sports bar was fun too.

Stayed in the new cabin (#7) quite nice however location is not desirable. Not much of a yard and no privacy. You get to look out over a slough & right into somebody's patio door. Owner was accommodating when we had to change the dates of our reservations, however we will not be back. scenery and location was a problem at the cabin we rented. Definitely overpriced.

We stayed in a trailer house. It was pretty rickety and musty, but otherwise OK. Pretty quiet, close to the lake so we could swim and use our boat. There was no beach to spread a blanket, only a tiny dock and some mud and grass. The site indicates that some spotty wifi is available, but when I asked for it, the owner came to the trailer and shouted at me that internet is actually a gift from her, not included in the package, as their site indicates. Decent stay, but was disappointed with the customer service approach.

We have been staying at Tall Timbers Resort every year since 2009 & going to the lake every year since 1997. The owners are cheerful & go out of their way to help with just about anything from our car not starting to fetching our boat after it got away on us during launching or outboard motor repairs.
We always stay in a mobile. We bring our own bedding, towels, food, tin foil, plastic wrap, etc.
The owners occasionally have to leave the resort for awhile, but they always make sure we have anything we may need before they go.
We appreciate being able to use their WiFi to catch up on emails.
The owners honoured our deposit the year after the Elephant Hill fire. Any time we had any issue with anything over the 10+ years we've been going to Tall Timbers Resort, the owners rectified it as soon as they could. One year I thought I lost my favourite visor, the owners found it, offered to send it to me but I said to keep it for me until the next time we were there.
If you're looking for a relaxing nature getaway & go fishing for trout, we highly recommend Tall Timbers Resort.
We've made our reservations for 2020 already & are looking forward to going.

From the beautiful lake, pretty scenery, boats, and a small store on the property, this resort has a lot to offer. The owners are extremely helpful and hospitable. The cabin (#7) was clean and had everything we needed, including a fantastic view of the lake and it's own dock. It is a very peaceful place to go for some time to unwind, and it is very family friendly. There were lots of places to explore and an abundance of wildlife to view (deer, loons, fox, many birds). We will definitely be back and are hoping to stay for longer the next time we go.

My sister, her husband and I decided to meet up for a camping trip. We had two weeks to plan it. I sleep in my van but she has a small baby so they needed a cabin. The only one we could find around 100 Mile was at Tall Timbers so she booked it and paid a $150 deposit. In the meantime my sister and her husband bought a tent trailer and decided instead of the cabin they would just stay at a site instead. The owner said that the $150 could be transferred but not refunded. That was fine with my sister.

We both arrived on Friday afternoon. The owner had assigned her the site right next to the garbage bins despite there being at least 5 other sites that were unoccupied. 3 nights for the outrageous price of $150 near the garbage bins. My sister refused this and was then placed in the site beside that. Still not the prettiest spot available but she didn't argue. I parked beside her. It was a little bit squishy so we went to see if I could pay for the site with the garbage so we could be more spread out. It was still available but she would not allow the extra money left over from the $150 to be transferred to that site so we had to pay in full for the garbage bin site. My sister felt add though the extra should have been able to be transferred to my site as we were in the same party. It didn't happen.

I'll tell you a few things about this campsite now. The entire resort smells of septic. It's pretty unpleasant. The lake itself is very small and weedy. The beach area does not exist. It doesn't look like the owners have done anything to improve any of the sites. Garbages were very full on our second day and overflowing.

Despite all this there was one other thing that bothered us the most. On the resort's website they state that there is absolutely no firewood to be brought in with guests but there is wood available for sale at the resort. I have purchased firewood at resorts before and it is usually chopped and delivered in a large wheelbarrow right to your firepit. Not here. You have to chop your own and deliver it to your own firepit in the world's smallest wheelbarrow. A heaping wheelbarrow costs a whopping $14. The owner even made a point of saying you couldn't hold onto the wood to make sure none fell. So the wood is extremely dry, and you don't get a lot, basically enough for a 1 hour burn. Pretty disappointing. I wonder what they would do for an elderly couple who can no longer chop their own wood? This just seemed like a huge money grab to me and this, I'm sure, is just one of the reasons so many sites are still available here on an August weekend when everywhere else nearby is fully booked.

One more small thing. The resort advertises that it has Wi-Fi. I like to stream music. There is no Wi-Fi unless you're down on the dock so don't count on it. Not a big deal but don't count on it.

We stayed here in the middle of the week and there was only one other site being used in the whole place. It's a bit of a drive off the main road to get to it. The campground itself is well kept, though a bit more rustic than I expected from looking at the website. Excellent washrooms, pay showers and laundry facilities. The tent site we were given was a bit small and set up so you couldn't really put the picnic table close to the fire, but did have a water tap. This would be a nice place to stay for a few days. Owner was super friendly, and it's right on Watch Lake so you can walk out on the dock to go fishing or rent a boat.

We had a great service by Marilyn and Rob ( owners). They made our fishing holiday very pleasant and stress free. Marilyn was very nice and accommodated us with our late arrival. The suite was very nice and clean.
The suite is fully equipped. Rob helped us a lot with the boat. Marilyn and Rob are always sure that all the guess in their resort have a great experience there. Fishing was pretty good.

Set on beautiful watch lake, the cabins have a very narrow viewed the lake. While their description sounds picturesque, the cabins leave much to be desired.
Described as sleeping 4 people, we had little space for two people, I can not imagine having two extra bodies in there.
In cabin 2, there was a constant air of propane gas, even with propane turned off, but, thankfully, due to the fact that the door didn’t seal by about 1/2 inch all around, the risk of CO2 poisoning was mitigated.
The door locks automatically and don’t worry if you forget your key, any piece of cardboard will depress the bolt and gain you entry.
Ice was 5$ a bag, firewood is 8.50 and if you bring your own firewood, there is a “corking fee” to be allowed to burn it.
The suites above the lodge were odd and not any better equipped.
First world problems but you should know how it really is.

I booked one of the older rustic cabins recently at Tall Timbers and stayed for two nights.
The stay was very quiet and relaxing, and going in mid-September meant looking at all of the colours of the fall leaves.
The cabin was wonderful. I loved the covered porch as it meant I could still sit outside and read during the occasional midday rain showers that came and went.
The cabin was small but just perfect for me and it also meant on cold nights it was not hard to keep it warm. The rustic cabins have toilets, but do not have hot water. This means a short walk across the grounds to the shower facilities and heating up water to do dishes.
The kitchen had appropriate items for basic cooking (tools, pots, pans). Tall Timbers gives you the option of bringing your own linens or them providing them for a charge. I brought my own but neglected to bring teatowels and dishcloths for washing dishes, so you will want to bring those.

The hosts are very friendly and it's definitely a laid back resort; very family friendly. Overall I had a wonderful stay and the rustic cabin is a good option if you want something that is a step up from camping.
