湖上西風酒店(Westwind Inn on the Lake)

The location is beautiful and there was plenty of choice of activities. The rooms were rustic, fine but tired. The inn felt odd and it seemed like it was run with today's prices and the service of a bygone Era. The dusty knick knacks, giant lamps and lack of coffee makers showed a lack of care. You ate your $50 breakfast on their schedule not yours and coffee before 930 am was your to figure out. We got the impression grandma ruled the roost and the son kept things running with a lack of vision, a succession plan that didn't transfer hands and felt stuck. The price made renting a cottage and running your vacation on your time more appealing. Lots of potential but lack a real care and enthusiasm was apparent. Not to mention no housekeeping not even fresh towels unless requested, again something you would expect as a bare minimum at a $300+ price point. A beautiful location with so much to offer just needs an infusion of care and some fresh eyes to put the customer first on their vacation.

Had an amazing stay at the westwind, from the time Rachel greeted us at the counter to our last breakfast prepared by kurt we enjoyed every minute. Jamie showed us around and was a perfect host, could see how much pride he has in his 32 years with the westwind. Patty made it so easy to get around and showed us the chalet sweets (which we upgraded to). The views are spectacular, the staff goes up and above. Never had such a great connection with staff of a resort. It's almost like being part of the family. Would strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get away for a quiet weekend. If not and you want recreational they have kayaks, canoes, games, and so much more at no extra cost. We love it here and will not make it a other regular to our list!!!!! Thank you Inga and Jamie for everything. ♥️

we just stayed for one hour and got out of this property, our long weekend plans are screwed and we had to drive back all the way to home.

My wife and I spent our anniversary weekend here, and it was lovely. Inga, Jamie, and the rest of the team were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had dinner our first night and breakfast the following morning, and both were outstanding -- absolutely worth it. This location has amazing views of Lower Buckhorn Lake and the neighbouring water bodies that comprise the Trent-Severn Waterway. We stayed at the chalet, and the front balcony view of the lake was breath-taking. There are lots of options to spend time on the water, including the resort's own canoes, kayaks, and pedal boat. The place was squeaky clean, all fixtures worked as expected, and the whole complex gives off really nice vibes of vintage cottage country. We loved our time in this place and will definitely be back soon!

We ended up in Buckhorn by chance, or good luck, whichever you prefer. Regardless of how we got there, the important thing is how we left. Relaxed, rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to face the stress and responsibility that comes with our daily lives once again. We came to the Westwind looking for peace and tranquility and boy did we find it. This little slice of heavenly solitude is just what we needed and we enjoyed every minute. Jamie was so helpful with information about the local area and we tried many of his suggestions. Be aware, when he tells you that you’ll walk away from Bigley’s a little lighter in the pocket…believe him 😄. The Inn itself is clean and well kept with artistic treasures around every corner. The property is fabulous with hiking, kayaking, canoeing, and more right on site. If you’re looking for a little step away from the hustle and bustle of work and life, give the Westwind a try, you won’t regret it. Thank you, Jamie and Inga! ~Denise & Dan

If you are looking for a place to totally unwind like we were, this is the place to do it. We loved the rustic atmosphere. We are nature lovers so enjoyed the chance to go kayaking (boat launch right there), hiking (on premise) and having a bonfire outside. The Inn was so clean and peaceful. The staff are amazing. Jamie made us feel so welcomed and Rachel is the best server. The breakfasts were amazing and filling. We will definitely be back!!!

Westwind is located in beautiful natural environment in the woods and by the water. Sport equipments is available such as boats, bicycles and the modest version of the golf range. Gardens are beautifully arranged and the native canadian plants such as trillium were blooming. Looking forward to enjoy this quite place again.

Beautiful forest location on the water. Rooms need some updating. Tvs are ancient could not get captions for hearing loss.

Extremely quiet
