Very clean place and awesome amenities. Cabins are up to date and probably the cleanest cottage we have stayed at. Keep up the great work. We hope to be back.

Had a weekend stay at Pinecliff and it was really nice. The place was clean and comfortable. Only downside for us was the closure of the facilities. No pool or games but not a pine cliff problem just another COVID rule. The beach and the property are meticulously taken care of making it such a picturesque place. Even the drive there from Toronto was like driving through a painting. Ontario has some unbelievable beauty.

Wonderful resort, super clean and comfortable cabins, and the best customer service. We stayed here a couple of times in winter, and it is so peaceful and beautiful then. The cabins are warm and cozy, showers are hot, and the kitchens have everything you need. The snowmobile trails are right out the entrace to the resort, too.
