I have been on the lake for years - have gone to Inverness many times. Always a great food experience. Also, had friends stay there, eat there - and everyone has has a great experience. In terms of Manitoba rural lake resorts - very well done. You won't find a "fancy" lake in Manitoba.
Oh and btw - the colour of the lake has been the case forever. Kind of the colour of tea. We actually have a cocktail called "Brereton Lake Water"
The brown water ruined it for me... who wants to get into a hot tub with brown water? Ick... Not to mention the hot tub is supposed to circulate the hot water but it was coming out cold in the jets and we had to have the hot water running to keep it at a decently warm temperature. And the no visitors policy? I get keeping it quiet but when your paying $375 for two nights, why would you not be able to invite a couple of people for a barbeque? That's just wierd...
I am so sorry the water color spoiled your stay with us.
We get the water from the Lake. It is treated; and test regularly to ensure it's save for our guests.
There is a color, a result of tannin; similar to the way tea get's it's color.
The color changes throughout the year depending on the amount of water running down into the lake from the forest.
Regarding our Weekend Visitor policy: it has been put in place to ensure a quiet relaxing stay on weekend for all of our guests. We advertise this policy on our site and in our confirmation information; so if guest wanting to be with friends on the weekends they will book the two bedroom options. If they are looking for some private quiet time they will want something just for two to enjoy.
Beautiful weekend at the resort. Quiet and peaceful. The owners are very personable,friendly, and helpful. Had a lovely fire in the fireplace to relax to after a hike through the trails. We will be back
So glad you had a good time
I planned a weekend get away for my boyfriend's birthday at this resort. We stayed in Cabin #5. The cabin was clean, the resort is quiet and we had an amazing view of the river from the back deck. The owners are also very friendly and we greatly appreciated the kind hospitality. We definitely plan to return here in the winter and bring our children.
So glad you enjoy your time with us
Our experience first started with our fridge not functioning properly. When we approached the owner Judy, her response was " well, give it some time and maybe a few shakes and kicks to get it going. I just plugged it in before you came." The owner was not very helpful and wanted to blow us off. After 2 hours of my food sitting in coolers and waiting, my husband had to plug it in and unplug it a number of times and the compressor finally kicked in. NICE! In the mean while, we are trying to settle in to a place that was dirty, the indoor/outdoor blue carpet stunk and was filthy. The beds are low to the ground, old and have bedding on them that is 30 years old with curtains to match. The floors are beat up, screens off the windows and the dishes/utensils look like they were bought from the salvation army along with the above mentioned bedding. Right down to the leaking coffee pot and the fans that fall apart when you try to use them. The door handles are broken, the window coverings are from the 90"s ( blue plastic veriticles), the furniture in general looks like second hand purchases. When I went to check the bedding as I always do in rented places, there were no sheets on one of the beds. Not once did the owners come to check on his guests. I now write a review about this place with some kind of bite marks that both my son and I got from the beds at night. Initially thought they were mosquito bites, but these are no way mosquito and will have to go to the clinic to have them checked out. Had to take all my clothing to a laundry mat to clean because I do not want to bring this into my home. My husband took pictures of all the disgusting things that we saw. I have never stayed in such a disgusting place in my life. They call these chalets. What a joke and abuse of the word.
I am sorry you did not have a good time and I don't know where to start trying to address all of your concerns.
I just wish you all the very best in your holiday stays in the future.
