  A bit far, but great location and rooms

  We stayed in a condo, with air conditioning - it looks like a cottage in the inside, with a fireplace, lots of wood, and a little kitchen and a washer / drier. Very nice lodging. Could not hear anything from the 3 other condos in the same building - seems very well soundproofed. Some activities available, such as canoe / cayak / swimming. Other activities are setup during the week. Teens on summer jobs manage those - not the most enthusiastic but ok. Take some time to visit the waterfall, it is quite special, and kids can slide in it - looked like great fun for them. It is a few km off site though. There is a good number of horse flies, that were a bit annoying when walking, but there are none when you are on the water more than 10 m away from the shore. The restaurant is ok - some meals being much better than others. It is a bit remote, but a nice place to be for vacation. The appartments have a kitchen, but the nearest grocery is half an hour away by car - so better plan in advance. Their website says there is wifi only in the restaurant and reception, but there is one in the room too - just ask the restaurant for the password. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

  Great time!

  As always, my family and I had a great time at Le Village Windego. The cottage was perfect. My son and I enjoyed Kayaking the lake. The kids loved every moment by the lake. We left two coats and we were contacted the following day. The price may not be for everyone but getting away from a city, this is a perfect place. The walkway heading to the lake needs a tune up with some of the fence down and broken lights but a very minor thing. If you like hiking, thereis so much to see in the area.

  Another great vacation

  I never get tired of spending vacation time at Village Windigo. This year, we rented a chalet and I brought my motor boat (5.5 m RIB) again. The Baskatong Reservoir is a great place to explore, fish or do wake board, provided you have a suitable boat. Staying there is like having your very on cottage in the wild without any of the hassle. Great luxury and comfort. We will be back.

  Le Windigo is nowhere near what it once was

  We have stayed at Le Windigo about 7 years ago and decided to rent a chalet for the 1st week of Aug.2020 and i can say with certainty that the it is nowhere near the same level of quality or service of what you would expect from a luxury chalet. Upon arrival, our first smell of fresh air consisted of rotting garbage from the large garbage bins right outside the front door. These are very large bins and were completely full. We were a family of 4 adults and barely made a dent with our garbage after a week so these must have been there for 2 to 3 weeks. The odour surrounded the chalet. The interior of the chalet was very nice and well maintained with the following exceptions: The ceiling fan in the master bedroom was beyond its life. It was very hot the first day and listening to the clack, clack, clack sound of the fan was not possible at night. To give you a perspective of how loud it was, it could be heard from outside about 50 ft away from the chalet. The kitchen supplies were extremely lacking. The teflon frying pans were flaking and should have been replaced a long time ago. Who wants to cook food to their families with chunks of teflon in their food? The sharpest knife out of 3 knives was a small pairing knife. The unit came with 1 dishwasher puck and a ultra small container of dish soap. The closest store is 30+ minutes away. This unit had a deck that was there and was removed. Based on the state of the rot on the wall where the deck was attached, it had also reached its end of life and while it no longer existed, I completely understand that it may be work in progress and due to Covid-19 was pushed off. While we were eating at the picnic table, the bench where i was sitting was rotted and broke causing me to fall to the ground. Again, not very well maintained. BTW, I am not a large person weighing in at less than 200 lbs. The gas bar-b-que tank ran out of gas during cooking on our 2nd night. While it is annoying to run out of fuel right in the middle of cooking, i can appreciate that this can happen at any time. I did bump into someone on the site that came around to give me a notice about my trailer being on the lot which I did move to the additional parking area but I did mention to him the issues that I had found on our 1st day. I will say that they were quick to respond to the garbage issue and to replace the broken piece of wood on the picnic table but they never came back to fix the fan in the master bedroom. At the rate of $3200 a week and when I compare to comparable units we stayed at in the past, they are getting well compensated at this rate. The ratings placks from booking.com in the reception area must be from 7 years ago. The place is just not the same and for the most part has nothing to do with Covid. Based on this last experience, this will be our last stay at Le Windigo.

  beautiful location but expensive for what you get.

  The location is fabulous. beautiful view even of it is a long drive to get there. The condo was nice but needs maintenance as small things like a faucet that stayed in my hands, having to open windows from the ouside, etc...Little things that are annoying. The staff needs to work on their customer service. The location advertised many KM of walking trails but they have no maps. we were given a black and white 8x10 photocopy and told if we wanted more to look at the map outside the main door of the reception. we ended up walking on a construction road for 3 hours due to the lack of proper signage. We asked if they had better I was told sorry but no. For the price we paid...that could be better. Bring all your food, kitchen supplies as everything is sold at the reception that only opens at noon. so basically great location but needs work for the price paid.
