Pros

Professional property management ensures consistent safety standards

Proximity to Eva Wardlaw Park (0.5 miles) and La Vase Portage Conservation Area (2 miles)

Convenient access to Laurentian Ski Hill and Osprey Links Golf

Multiple dining options within walking distance

Cons

12.5 miles distance from airport requires advance shuttle planning

Pool access incurs additional fee for visitors ($3.00 per person/day)

“While some might find the motel dated, the RV sites offer surprising value; I noted spacious spots with essential hook-ups plus cable, a retro touch requiring a rental box. The pool looked inviting enough, and the laundry facilities are a definite plus. For the price, especially if you're just passing through with an RV, it's a solid option.”
