"Très satisfaite de mon choix ! L’espace commun est très grand , bien aménagé avec un magnifique espace vitré. Personnel très accueillant! Les chambres sont très simples. Pas de machine à café mais un frigo et micro-onde. Les chambres sont propres mais aurait besoin d’un rafraîchissement de peinture . J’y retournerais sans aucune hésitation!"

White Pine Camp

White Pine Camp

10/10 Excellent
"I would just note that the bedrooms are on the top floor and there are stairs going to the ground floor where the living area, balcony, kitchen and dining area are. The rooms were lovely cabins with lots of room. It included all types of goodies to make your stay welcoming. In the bathroom there were toiletries, a hair dryer, and soft fluffy towels. We greatly appreciated the complementary coffee and tea as we'd forgotten to pack those. We also liked the sampling of books in our cabin to occupy our downtime. The property itself is stunning. Water surrounds both sides of the property and there are canoes and kayaks, fishing poles, umbrellas and lots of other things you can borrow if the need arises. I would love to come back for a longer stay. The only downsides I would note (and they were pretty minor for us): the view from the Kirkwood room had a small view of the water. The pictures online made it seem like a wide open view. Additionally, we arrived at dusk and it was indeed difficult to find your room (directions were written well -- just wouldn't advise arriving at nighttime). The sound carries, so you need to make sure you're pretty quiet at night as we could hear singing and coversations from the neighboring rooms. All in all, I would 100% return again. It would be a nice place to relax and unwind."
