Waterfalls Lodge Inc. - Spanish, Ontario

Water Lodge Falls is a bit rustic and the cabins need some work.
The restaurant is fine with good meals available.

My son and I went there on 28 September till the 1st October for some fishing and relaxation.

I hesitate to post a negative... hopefully they make corrections and turn it around. It has changed hands and now has absentee owners. It is managed by someone who does not have a stake in the operation other than a paycheck. It is grossly under staffed; the few that are there do a great job! The food at the restaurant was delicious! They sent a lunch with us that satisfied us for the whole day!
After 6 you are on your own...if you have issues wait until morning! The have a walkie talkie in the door to contact someone if you have issues...nothing but dead air when we used it! (Just take it down if you won't answer it!)
Pontoon boat rental was problematic! It broke down out in the middle of the lake...and we end up back with the manager who won't answer his phone!
The location is beautiful, the cottage was clean and with our own dock.

My partner and I had a very relaxing 3- night stay at Waterfalls Lodge. We loved our cabin. The view from the porch was beautiful. The only thing we thought that could have made it better was that they trimmed the bushes and trees to get a better view of the Falls. The sound of the Falls was very relaxing.
We took the All American Plan and we enjoyed all the meals they served with the plan. The meals were very delicious! We enjoyed them all. And all the staff were very friendly and accommodating! Thank you for your great service!
It was our first time and will surely be back in the future.

3 of us stayed for a week in July, hoping for a fishing vacation:|Staff: wonderful. helpful, friendly, willing to go the extra mile. Wait staff were outstanding.|Food: Plentiful and tasty. in fact, almost too plentiful. Large portions. Lunches that they packed were outstanding.|Cabin: adequate. We have had better over 30 years of fishing trips, but we have experienced a lot worse. Clean and comfortable.|Furnished boats: way more than expected for resort boats. advise that you rent a trolling motor as we did [$100. / Week]. almost required. comes with adequate depth finder. [needed]. boats were clean and filled up each morning if you set your tank out.|Fishing: Terrible, Sucked! 3 guys with over100 years of experience between us threw everything but the kitchen sink at the walleyes at all different depths and hours. Caught 3 all week. Smally fishing gave us something to do. not much for size but kept us awake.|Management; need to learn how to treat and deal with staff / employees. Mass departure occurred just before we arrived.||overall: great experience except for the fishing. but that happens

As others who’ve recently stayed shared, this is no longer the once well cared for lodge. Cabin 17, a deluxe cabin that is supposed to have central air, is now a cabin with a window a/c that does not cool down the whole cabin. No one told us prior to or upon arrival. If it was just one thing, it can be overlooked. However, things went wrong everyday. Found no central air Monday, plus garbage and crumbs in cabin and on floor upon arrival. Tuesday we were told no fish fry Wednesday. Wednesday we lost water and when it retuned, it was rank. Thursday we lost water, and when it returned it was still rank, and we were told no back lakes fishing which was booked for Friday because the lodges side-by-side was broken. Friday the side-by-side was fixed so we could still go fishing, however, the lodge had no bait. They ran out. Saturday a dock hand took our rental boat for a spin and a complaint was called into the lodge as they created a wake in a no wake zone. I watched our boat get taken, so I was able to inform the lodge. When addressing these issues with the lodge, I was told as a guest I should expect issues. Having been a guest here a total of 5 times in 3 years, I know what to expect, and this definitely isn’t it. There is no pride of ownership, and no one trying to make things right.

Spent a fantastic week with my 2 boys (10 & 8)
Fishing was great with several nice Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass landed and released.
Boats were clean..safe and reliable.
The staff were all amazing..and were always attentive to suggestions for improvement.
Only concern was the lack of water pressure in our cabin.
Management advised they are trying to adress this issue.
The food in the restaurant as well is service was incredible.
Hearty bag lunches provided each day to take in the boat.
My boys and I returned home well rested..and talking about a return next year.

We did not have a good experience. The carpet was filthy in the living room. The bed was terrible and uncomfortable. The fire pit was not cleaned out and was not useable. For our final meal we ordered the fish. The fish was suppose to be pickerel. I don’t think so. The fish was full of bones. When my wife cut her piece open it contained fish roe. Obviously some doesn’t know their fish or how to clean it. What started out as an exciting experience turned out to be very disappointing.

Visited this past weekend. Rooms were clean and came with clean bedding and drinkable water. Staff was very friendly. Lots of boats for rental, unfortunately fishing this late in season was slow, and fish fought hard.
