I have stayed at many resorts around the world, cottages, and even have a cottage outside of Parry Sound..(little lake Mckellar).. However this one had a certain aura of romance. MAGIC! My girlfriend and i, took our relationship to a new level of romance during our stay her.. The decor was rustic with a real touch of class.. If you are looking for a five star resort with buttlers and silver cutlery, not the place for you..If you able to relax and slow down, and be intouch with nature, this is your heaven.. We stay in the city slicker suite? kind of ironic..The hosts were genuine and sweet, and much appreciated..We are hoping to go back in April for another peaceful break from our hectic lives, and enjoy our time in paradise. Thankyou Sundog,
Derek and Pauline!!!

Thank you so much for making our 1st anniversary such a wonderful experience! We had such a great time relaxing and enjoying the Retreat and all its amenities.

Over the weekend we kept busy swimming, hiking and canoeing. The hot tub was very appreciated and capped off our everyday. Your hospitality and cottages are definitely 5 Star.

I had such a great time exploring and taking photographs it was hard not to take a bad picture. The Retreat is so photogenic that any where I pointed my camera another exciting landscape, sun set or wildlife subject presented itself.

We will definitely be back!! You made us feel welcome and we can only imagine how the other seasons present themselves!!

From the moment you turn down Sundog Rd., it is apparent that you are in for a unique adventure. The road twists and winds until you arrive at a spacious four suite complex. Each suite has its own character and flair.

Having just been married, my wife and I had the absolute pleasure of spending an entire week in the Honeymoon Cottage. As we arrived we were greeted by Mary and Ted, the owners of the retreat. They welcomed us with open arms and made sure that we felt very much at home for our honeymoon getaway. After introducing us to our suite, Ted and Mary graciously gave us a fantastic bottle of the Sundog's white wine. Their hospitality is amazing.

My wife and I then had an opportunity to inspect our suite. It was perfect from top to bottom, full of unique and quirky charm, elegant yet rustic, and immaculately clean.

While you stay at the Sundog, you are treated to many other
amenities: Two private docks featuring 2 canoes, 2 kayaks, a paddleboat, water floats and life preservers.

Whether you are looking for a romantic escape or a family adventure, The Sundog retreat is sure to cater to your desires.

In addition to the physical charm of the resort, the owners, Mary and Ted are always available and willing to offer their own personal charm.

Thanks Sundog.... We'll be back

After driving over 1,000 miles and anticipating a "cottage" as stated in the advertisement I was shocked to find one huge building divided into sections. The place was hot, dark and very unappealing. The walk down to the water was steep and dangerous. One of the sections had matresses on the floor and a toilet in the room without walls around it. To me it looked like "Gunsmoke". I have spent many summers at resorts and have never come across anything like this before. There was no place to sit outside - no green space. It probably would do for people who really like woodsy settings but when you have children they need a place to play and a safe beach without drop-offs.
