Spectacle Lake Lodge

We had a family weekend gathering and found the facility to have all the charm to be expected of a cottage/lodge. Cottages and rooms are clean, neat, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The amenities provided were certainly suitable for our family gathering of four generations providing winter snow for the younger ones to play in and a warm cozy fire in the lodge fireplace with fireside comfortable seating. The Terrace area kept others busy playing pool, shuffleboard, and darts with lots of catch up conversations. In the morning the Sunroom overlooking the patio and lake is the perfect setting for that first cup of coffee and breakfast of your choice. Menu options are wide and Chef Jen ensured all tastes were met, even addressing some dietary challenges. Another larger group were there for lunch and there were numerous compliments extended to Chef Jen for the delicious lunch provided. Would highly recommend Spectacle Lake Lodge for family gatherings, birthdays, anniversary parties etc.

Brought my family of four to share and enjoy an experience that my wife and I had many years before. A snowmobile trip for the ages. Unfortunately, this one time gem has disappointed us tremendously. It started when our room wasn't even prepared (arrived at 5pm), the beds looked like they were just slept in and the facet in the bathroom was running and it couldn't be turned off. They cleaned the room and shout off the water and advised they would fix it the next day, they never did and we stayed for 3 nights. The rooms are substandard and very expensive. No spot for us to sit and the master bedroom has 8 inches of leg room on either side. Carpet was old and stained. No activities, small hot tub (a little dirty), no outside fires...just sad. The food was okay, but every time we eat at the restaurant our order was wrong and sometimes cold. The first night we eat, they forgot about us for over an hour, we had to wave down the waitress and then she forgot us again. They forgot the appetizers and then they brought them during our main course. The food was too expensive, $20 for a hamburger put that's what to expect these days. The parking area had tons of snow that wasn't removed and staff we parking their vehicles right in front of the pathways leading to the entrance. Very difficult to get around. We are so disappointed and somewhat heart broken, considering the great memories we once had there. Although the snowmobile trails were great, the experience at the lodge was bad. Sorry, but we won't be back.

Would definitely not recommend. Been going there since 2000 for our honeymoon then anniversary every year! The last few have been very disappointing.. Always minimum 2 hrs for dinner,this year 2 hrs then our orders were totally wrong, instead of prime rib we got steak. this year no heat or even hydro in our cabin! Waited over an hr for someone to come and fix it. When it was fixed we wanted to grab a drink while the cabin warmed up , the bar was all locked up, it was only 9 p.m. Breakfast was to be buffet, when we arrived at 8 the buffet hadn't even been started! Thanks for ruining an anniversary tradition! We will find another place to start a tradition, one where customers are appreciated and respected!

Went with a group to celebrate a 40th anniversary. The group table sat empty while they crammed us beside the empty group table around 4 round tables. I wondered what was wrong with us? It took 2 hours to get the main course, then almost everyone's food was cold, and I mean cold. They took away 2 of our plates when we finally got someone to listen, and then returned with cold food again, yorkshire pudding was refrigerator temp. One guest ordered a rye and coke, and received scotch and coke. The buffet was chosen by 2 guests, and at least 1/3 (5 or 6) of the items advertised were not available on the buffet. The meal was very expensive. When I asked if they or the owner would like to hear my concerns when trying to pay my bill the owner walked by and did not even acknowledge me or any of our group. What a terrible way to treat a couple and their family and friends celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary. I will not go again, and hope others heed this poor service and food.

I didn’t stay over there but I did eat there and it was fantastic and reasonably priced. I had the amazing huge wings and my wife had the fish and chips. All were outstanding and delicious and filling. The owners Gladys and Kelly are so friendly and down to earth, and the staff is nice and friendly also. Lastly, the view of the lake and that little island are so beautiful…highly recommend this place for a stop in while cruising highway 60.

The owners of this lodge are a real delight! They are extremely personable and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a pleasant one! The cottage was well equipped and I appreciated not having to pack pillows, bedding or towels. The lake is beautiful and peaceful. The restaurant food was delicious and the portions were very generous. I hope to return again later this year!
