The room I got was a bit older and could use a few updates, but everything felt generally clean, no unpleasant smells, just a little dust here and there. What really makes Sands on Golden Lake special is the view, absolutely magnificent in the early morning, and at night the sky is filled with stars and even a glimpse of the Milky Way since it’s tucked away in the quiet countryside. It’s a beautiful spot for anyone who wants to relax, disconnect, and enjoy nature’s beauty. ##### Kenan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent!!!!!

Restaurant was closed three days of the week, but there was no microwave in the room, and nowhere closeby to have a meal. ##### Marguerite Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities AMAZING!!! ##### Sharon Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Motorcycle stop over Staff were awesome, good breakfast burritos. Very nice beech ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily 30 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We arrived late but our room had been set up, and someone came back into the office to welcome us. The room is comfortable and clean, but the real stunner is the view. You can sit outside your door and have an uninterrupted panoramic view of a big lake, which is spectacular at sunset and when the stars come out. Can’t wait to come back. ##### Emily Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda 26 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We arrived after sunset and left around s foggy dawn, so we didn't get to see much of the lake view. But the room was very nice; wedstay there again. Our only disappointment was that breakfast wasn't available until 8, and we needed to be on the road before then. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We only stayed for one night but it was perfect for what we needed.

Low pressure on the washroom taps and seemingly not a lot of hot water for a shower Exhaust fan in room needed some cleaning. ##### Brian Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Or stay at the Sands was absolutely excellent every room has a view of the water the room was clean and was comfortable every room has a balcony so you can sit outside covered as well and Overlook the water very peaceful already planning our next stay ##### Jim Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Trevor 2 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The room was very spacious and clean.
