Spring Lake Resort Motel and Restaurant — Restaurant in District Municipality of Muskoka

AN UPDATE for August 2024: Again.....a pleasure to have stayed here. Always a nice conversation with Patrick and this place continues to be a well-maintained and moderately priced alternative to the MASSIVELY expensive resorts in the area.|A terrific base for easy access to Algonquin Park. |Just a few slight cautions, however, for families with younger children: if you do NOT canoe, kayak swim or build fires at night....there is nothing for pre-teens to do.| Also, the restaurant is ONLY available for breakfast from Wednesdays to Fridays (at this time). I think that signage should be adjusted as it is somewhat misleading for travelers wanting to stay here or passing by.|_|This is an absolutely beautiful location which displays an impeccable PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP by the Pobojewski Family which has been unseen by myself in a moderately-priced accommodation during my many years of North American travels.|From the location on the highway it appears non-descript and somewhat passable but once you register and head to your room you are impressed by the beautiful presentation of the facility and the quiet setting. There are lovely "pods" of Muskoka Chairs on little patios overlooking the little lake.|The grounds are landscaped with lush gardens nicely maintained. The beach area is somewhat small but properly maintained with modern seating, canoes and kayaks all for the use of the guests. The little lake is fresh and inviting for the guests as well.|My room (Upper 4) was located off a small open walkway and facing the lake. There were two chairs outside each room as well as an ashtray as ALL the rooms are THANKFULLY NON-SMOKING. There is a ground level floor...a main level and the "Uppers" were only one flight of stairs.|They are remarkably soundproofed considering their proximity to the highway but this is accomplished by the new, high quality windows in the rooms. The decoration is beautifully painted and set up with modern wall-mounted digit thermostats and not the usual noisy wall HVAC systems. The bedding is comfortable with an assortment of sleeping pillows.(They could probably do without the three decoration throw pillows...IMHO).|The bathroom is modern and bright with new two-level toilets with slow-close lids and a modern timer control for the fan. Plenty of towels and toiletries are provided.|The crowning touch of this resort is the restaurant !!! Sadly, like many places in this region there is a lack of help and the restaurant is limited now to only breakfasts from Wednesday to Sunday. (Also...the nearby COOKHOUSE is CLOSED and the local BOILER ROOM has great food but HORRIBLY slow service!!!).|The décor is "old-time cottage comfortable" and the food and coffee was locally sourced, excellently prepared...
