The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Outdoor Activities

I absolutely loved the availability of equipment like kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and canoes. The beach was beautiful and there were tons of activities for my kids, including a fantastic playground structure. The outdoor tennis courts were also a bonus, although it would be great to see another net closer to the beach area. Overall, I found myself enjoying various sporty and fun experiences during our stay!

Fun Family Time

The amenities for kids were simply amazing! My children loved the game room which offered various fun activities like ping pong and billiards. Plus, the outdoor playground was a hit! In the evenings, we enjoyed sitting by the firepit, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories. It truly made for a good family getaway.

Spacious & Well-Equipped Cottage

Our Algonquin Cottage was spacious and well-equipped for our family of four. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the living area felt welcoming and comfortable. The cleanliness of the cottage was impressive, and it offered a peaceful retreat after a day full of activities. The layout was perfect for family time together!

Comfortable Amenities

The bathroom in our cottage was well-stocked with everything we needed including plenty of towels and quality toiletries. It had a clean and cozy vibe, making it enjoyable to get ready for our adventures. The heated tiles were a nice touch that added a bit of luxury, especially during cooler evenings.

I had a lovely time at Blue Water Acres, especially appreciating how convenient it was to find a short-term rental option during the summer. The location is peaceful and beautiful, making it a great escape from the city. While the cabin we stayed in was comfortable and clean, there were a couple of oddities like the squeaky bed and the lack of curtains on the entry door window. Overall, it's a charming getaway, but some minor improvements could enhance the experience.
