The room was comfortable and spacious with more than sufficient light. Bathroom has a shower only. Indoor heated pool was nice for this time of year as was the games room. We took in both of the hiking trails that were part of the resort (they seem shorter than the guides indicated); neither was a hard trail. Resort was quiet and we slept well. We took the meal plan and found the food to be excellent and quite sufficient. Service was fast and friendly. We had a lovely view of the lake from our dining room table. There is a busy train track close by but the rooms were well insulated for sound and we did not hear the trains at night. Other games were available outside.

This resort is reminiscent of a classic and charming Muskoka family resort. The grounds are well taken care of, the lodging is welcoming and clean. Absolutely beautiful docks over looking the lake. Wonderful staff. Terrific for families with young children.

We had stayed there a couple of years ago and no issues. This time the Bathroom was disgusting. Door was dirty, the exhaust fan didn’t seem like it was cleaned in ages but the worst part was that the shower filled up with water as there was hair covering the drain. We checked out early as I wasn’t going to shower. We took pictures to show front desk and they said they would get maintenance to check it out. Was kinda disappointed in our stay.

Great view and lots of things to do outdoors. Beds were soft and comfy, inside and outside pool was great. Bring your food and have a bbq at the campfire(firewood is provided do are grills) , we didn't know about the option so it was already too late to go back into town. Staff was very friendly :-)

When I got engaged in 2022, I knew I wanted a "destination wedding" but one where we didn't leave Ontario. I looked into a few "kid friendly family resorts" in Ontario and after inquiring into all of the options, Bayview was THE BEST FIT! When we toured the Grounds with Jeff, we felt like this place was going to provide the closest destination feeling for our family and friends. We had 20 kids coming to the wedding and I wanted them to have the greatest time too. From the Outdoor Pool, Indoor jungle gym, the arcade games (which the adults also took advantage of late at night), the water obstacle course and all the water toys to play with - this place offered all ages something to do. The kids also spent a lot of time riding bikes provided by the resort. Our wedding festivities started on the Friday night with a Welcome Barbecue - The spread was amazing and fed our 70+ guests who came on the Friday night. I would recommend this option for the wedding because most of your guests will likely be coming up the Friday and it is nice to arrive and have a cooked meal with no hassle. After the BBQ our guests moved over to the Bonfire for our Welcome Bonfire. We brought our own Speaker and did some Karaoke. Inside the Boathouse they had a canoe filled with ice which we filled with our own drinks for our guests. Saturday our guests enjoyed the MANY amenities the resort has to offer. Some played Pickleball, some went out on the Kayaks and paddle boards, while others enjoyed the outdoor pool. The Bayview Market has great food and even makes Pina Coladas! Guests were very happy with their meals. My mom rented the Albert Manner and this is where all of us girls got ready for the day - There are two living rooms so the guests staying at the Albert Manner still get to relax in their own space if you do decide to use the other living room to get ready. The manner also provided a great location for pictures. Our Makeup Artist (Makeup By Lee) came to the resort and we did our own hair. The Resort also gives you a list of recommendations for hair/makeup/decor etc... We had our Ceremony on the Dock to the left of the Boathouse and rented our own Chairs for the day - The staff moved the chairs from outdoors to indoors once the ceremony was done. I didn't get to participate in cocktail hour because my Husband and I went for a boat ride while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour but we heard the food was amazing. Dinner was also great - We chose the Birch Package, where you get one started, two entrees to choose from and one dessert. There are many food packages to choose from. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about the food. Because we had 20 kids attending, the staff actually put together a "Kids Club" dinner and activities while the adults had dinner in the main room. They played on the jungle gym, made crafts and ate lots of food. So this was an awesome perk to have so that the parents could enjoy their meals and the speeches, while the kids had a blast in another room. The next day we hosted a Caesar Sunday Bar at the Albert Manner where everyone could stop and mingle before they left to go home. We had a few families stay until the Monday with us so I was able to enjoy more of the resort once the Wedding activities were done. Our guests could not say enough great things about this resort, the staff, the grounds, the activities and the rooms. We were so happy that everyone had a great time and felt like they truly got a vacation while being at a Wedding. SOOOO many of our guests are already talking about taking friends and family back to this resort. People couldn't get over this place being so close to home and not knowing about it. I can't wait to return to Bayview with my kids and have them enjoy this wonderful place and the wonderful people here. I cannot say enough great things and would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone. They put on so many great events - there was a cocktail making class going on while we were there! You don't just have to be a kid to enjoy this resort - many couples come and relax here too. Thanks again Bayview for the Wonderful Wedding Weekend!

My son and I have been to several, if not all, of the other area resorts and Bayview Wildwood tops them all! From the minute we drove in we knew we we were at a quality resort and would have a great time........................and we did!!! The staff are incredible, the rooms clean and spacious, the food is AMAZING, the activities are abundant and will keep any family busy and happy. My son is a avid fisherman and caught tons of fish off the dock, including a HUGE bowfin. All in all this was a phenomenal experience and we are already planning our return next summer, but for a longer stay this time!

We had a nice first time at this resort. Our room was beautiful and accommodated our older family of five nicely. Nightly entertainment was great and during the day there were plenty of fun group activities. On the downside, the all inclusive package for meals was underwhelming. Out of 11 meals (x5 of us) only two meals were decent. The food sounds delicious on the menu but then when it came it didn’t live up to the hype. Soupy pasta, wilted Caesar salad, under seasoned everything, “pre-cooked shrimp masking as “prawns,” One fancy desert was even served burnt to my son 🤦🏻‍♀️ If we go back I will definitely choose a La cart style. The staff over all were very friendly, those in the dinning hall were pretty “green” but can be expected for a seasonal spot. The beach is pretty but small and on so much of an incline you cannot stay put in the lounger for sliding off, the unground and indoor pools are dated and somewhat unclean…..mostly used by young families but should be more attention needs to be paid to skimming and filtering 🤢. The inflatables on the lake were fun, so long as you don’t mind swimming through the seaweed to get there!

Hi Tinalouise76, Thanks so much for choosing our lakeside resort for your first visit! We're really glad to hear that you liked your room – we're all about making our guests comfy and cozy, especially when you've got a family to take care of. It's awesome that you enjoyed the nightly entertainment and the fun group activities that are available. But we are dissappointed that the all-inclusive meals didn't hit the mark for you. We're taking your feedback seriously and we're going to chat with our kitchen crew about stepping up their game. We promise the next time you're here, the food will live up to those mouthwatering menu descriptions. Sorry to hear about the beach and pool situations – we're on it! We'll figure out a way to make those loungers more stable and keep those pools sparklin' clean. We appreciate your honest feedback, and we hope you'll give us another shot in the future. We want all of our guests to make the most our of their stays with us, and we'll do our best to make your next visit even better. Kind Regards, Jason Stanton General Manager
