My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the suite provided; the facilities provided in the suite, the view from the suite, and the helpfulness of the owners and staff was excellent. We have already booked again for next year.

This place is well located close to Algonquin Park with good water toys and a nice beach. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cottage which was large and well laid out however was very dated and needed a deep clean. The furniture smelled and the beds were lumpy. The wifi was poor and the kitchen utensils were dull and worn out. The towels provided were tiny. I would not stay here again.

Dear love2travel4242,
Please be assured that your comments have been taken very seriously and we are following up on each point of improvement.
It is disappointing that you did not reach out to us during your stay so we might have worked towards fixing the deficiencies you encountered. We always have staff on site and we provide contact phone numbers should you need assistance at any hour of day.
On the other hand, we are glad that you've enjoyed our closeness to Algonquin Park, wide array of good water toys, 2 sandy beaches, the large well laid out cottage and our attentive hard-working staff who do their utmost and go the extra mile to pamper our valued guest.
Once again, thank you for your feedback and we hope to have you return to Blue Spruce Resort for another stay with us.
Regards
Scott and Lynda Hayden

How can you top this wonderful resort… This is our fourth year staying in S1. It feels like a family reunion. For a whole week, you can choose to suntan, swim, kayak, fish, go into Algonquin Park, sit by the campfire. Both my husband and I leave feeling restored and relaxed. Thanks Scott and Lynda for your attention to detail and hiring a great staff. Looking forward to visit #5 next year and possibly staying in a cottage for a few days post Thanksgiving.

The owners of this resort are extremely organized and cleanliness- conscious. The beaches are tidied and swept at least once, if not twice, a day. There are a great number of boats to rent - from kayaks and canoes to motor boats. All the paddles and life preservers are neatly organized ready for you when you want to take out a boat. There are several docks and the water is quite deep so you can dive right off the dock. There is also a floating trampoline and other floating things. Plus paddle boats which are free to use. I think there are also children’s sand toys. We were there on Canada Day and there were activities on offer such as yoga and a scavenger hunt. The one bedroom cottage we stayed in was rustic, but clean and had everything we needed for cooking simple meals. There was a wood-burning fireplace and wood is available for purchase near to the office. We had a lovely view of the lake from the big picture window. The only thing I would change was the glass cutting board - a plastic or silicone type would be better and would not dull the knives. The resort is very close to Algonquin Park and all that is on offer there. There is also much to do closer to the resort such as making a canoe trip to Ragged Falls. The hiking trails across the highway are a bit problematic in warm weather since they do not seem to be groomed. The grasses were really tall and I was worried about ticks. It seems that maybe that is more of a cold weather destination. If you are looking for a quiet tranquil place, this might not be it. Most of the cottages are very close to Highway 60, so you get the traffic noise. And shrieking children and weekend revelers can make the beach less than peaceful. Even though there are several docks, the sound travels. But this place is perfect for a family since there is so much to do - even for teenagers. And if you are a family, you are used to the noise. Great for an inter-generational get together, too. The staff work tirelessly to keep this place humming. If you need anything, the owners and staff are extremely responsive. One final note of caution: there is a large drainage gully by some of the cottages. Be careful when backing up in a car especially at night.…

Driving into this resort you can immediately see the PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP. And once you are greeted by staff this just adds to the whole experience that you will enjoy. Reasonable rates for a variety of accommodations and amenities which will keep everyone happy and busy. for your stay. A lovely location with a small beach and boat launch area on the Oxtongue Lake Narrows. This resort offers you comparable rates which a dismal and run-down place across the water is charging and has nothing to offer.

The room was clean and spacious, kitchen was very well equipped, staff was friendly. The lake is right across the road and the cross country ski trails a short walk away. We had a wonderful time skiing on the groomed trails and on the lake. Skating was a bit bumpy but nice to be outside. Stayed 2 nights and would have liked to be there longer. We had a great time!

Another great stay at Blue Spruce! We stayed in a Studio this time and forgot just how perfect these accommodations are for 2 people. Everything you need and a perfect view of Oxtongue Lake. Great self checkin and checkout in place but always nice to say Hi to Lynda at the office. This resort is top notch and well presented. The beaches are well groomed and we enjoyed soaking in the view. The peak colours this time around just made it extra special. Thanks again and we will be back! Cathy and Earl

We recently stayed 2 nights in a studio after being notified of a cancellation. Based on previous reviews and their excellent website we had a fair idea of what to expect and now understand why it is always booked. Cleanliness being the number one observation and overall excellent value for your dollar.The unit was spotless,spacious and in great repair for an older building .A lovely view onto Oxtongue Lake and the flaming Autumn colours. Outside table and chairs at each unit. The kitchen was sparsely equipped but had everything one would need to make dinners. Not fancy appliances but clean and functional. Loved the idea of a backdoor and a wee patio area with each unit having their own barbecue. The beds were very comfortable…we brought our own blankets as requested. Sadly the weather did not allow us to take advantage of all the water related activities offered…boat rentals ect. That will have to wait for another time. We are hoping to return in the winter to a unit with a Fireplace. I am sure it will be a comfy cozy and beautiful respite in the long dark days. This is an exceptional property.…

The Blue Spruce Resort is in a great location near Algonquin Park, Dwight, Dorset, and Huntsville. We stayed in a Suite Room that was a good size for a couple. The room was very clean and well maintained. The bed was on the hard side which after a few nights started to effect our sleep. Every room around us was occupied by regulars, mostly senior. All griped about the low toilets in the rooms.

This is our third year visiting Blue Spruce Resort… In our first review we expressed our excitement that there was finally a vacancy - now we know that these vacancies often come when long time guests can no longer rebook. What always amazes us at this resort is the quiet, low keyed approach. You can enjoy activities if you wish, or you can just sit and smell fresh air, watch the ripples on the water. read, swim, just be. Everything you possibly need is there for you, right down to a corkscrew(very important) and a BBQ, wifi, etc. And the attention to cleanliness is phenomenal. This year, the storms have been interesting and keeping the staff on their toes - and as soon as they could, the staff was out their fixing what they could. Yes COVID has impeded in some things being offered - the community BBQ with Lynda’s baked beans the one we miss the most. But the interaction with the guests has not suffered in the least - you truly do feel like a member of the family when you stay there - is what makes you want to return. You leave knowing you are not just a number but a respected guest. So when asked if we want to reserve for next year, without hesitation the answer was yes. Who knows maybe I can even consider offering worship on the beach next year. And one of these days we would love to be able to visit during the other seasons of the year. Until next year…

Hi Michelle! Thank you for your review, we love the wording of "quiet, low keyed approach" we are very keen on keeping the atmosphere as relaxing and "get back to nature" as possible! I will pass along your kind words to all staff who are now experts at storm restoration around the resort. Countdown for Summer 2022 is on, see you then if not sooner! Lynda & Scott Hayden
