We are Toronto family of three (two adults, one child 12 years old) and stayed at "Fairy Bay" for two nights in July 2011. We are also frequent travelers internationally and locally in Canada and have enough experience to compare multiple cottages, guest houses or other places to stay all year around. We are proud to admit that "Fairy Bay" is really distinctive for its excellent accommodation, convenient beach area, not crowded like many other similar places, fantastic location close to Huntsville, friendly and cooperative staff always willing to assist you with useful information, advice and a lot more. The weather was hot but our room was air conditioned (central air conditioning with individual room controls). Moreover, the room had wireless hi-speed internet to check e-mails or recent news online! No single fly or mosquito has been spotted outside for the whole stay - for us it was especially important as we all have an allergy to mosquito bites.
I have to mention a lot of things to do - complimentary pedal boats, kayaks, canoeing, fishing, barbeque and so on. The open areas on the beach are well balanced with sun shade; well groomed flower beds are everywhere and everybody can enjoy a lot of unique multicolour birds at the birdfeeder.
The breakfast was special for each morning and really tasty.
This place is really worth the money we paid for. All aspects of our stay were really great. Advising everybody to stay, you will be satisfied and will definitely come back again.

This beautiful guest house is literally on the shores of Fairy Bay. We had a fabulous relaxing week with friendly, helpful hosts who gave us great tips on what to do/ where to eat/best cakes shops!! Great location for visiting Algonquin Park and lots to do locally. There is a little kitchen where you can russle up a quick dinner or Marc will light the BBQ for you. Best bit is 8am fresh coffeee while standing on the shore watching the mist rise over the water then another wonderful breakfast with the open fire crackling away. Can't wait to go back...and we're from Scotland!!

Located in a small, quiet road off the main highway, Fairy Bay guesthouse is on a fantastic spot. Marc and Margaret are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful, without being in your face all the time. They were happy for us to do our laundry, we had access to a kitchenette with tea, coffee, cold drinks and crockery and cutlery. We were also offered the bbq's, which we took advantage of, as having two children, a restaurant can be a bit trying sometimes. The room (Cream) was very tastefully decorated, roomy and spotlessly clean. The beach was fab (and a bit of a rarity we discovered). We used the canoes and pedal boat. The children had fun with the toy trucks on the beach and inflatables. The breakfasts were excellent. We even took home Margaret's pancake recipe. We enjoyed our stay here so much, we returned for another night. This, in my opinion offers so much more than the Delta Resort across the water and probably for a fraction of the cost. I cannot recommend Fairy Bay Guesthouse highly enough.

This guest house is not your typical B&B. It reminds us of the small local hotels that you find in Europe. The rooms are very clean, spacious and private. There are two guest sitting areas, one upstairs and one large living/breakfast room looking out at Fairy Lake and the Delta Grandview resort across the lake. Even though it is only about 2 minutes off of Hwy 60 on the road to Deerhurst Resort, It's tucked away in a lovely corner of the lake surrounded by privately owned cottages. Outside the back door an expansive lawn stretches towards a safe, sandy beach. The breakast was delicious and sharing a table with some of the other guests encouraged lively conversations. The place was very quiet, especially in the evening hours.

I've read all of the other reviews and even though they are a few years old, they're pretty much spot on.
