Family stay in cottage
Extremely clean cottages with brilliant view on the Lake. Car parking right outfront. Location 10min out provincial park. We slept like babies and I would stay here again. Welcoming 3th generation owners!
Leuke accommodatie met goede faciliteiten en prima ligging
Mooie lodge met alle faciliteiten voor een goed verblijf. Vriendelijke ontvangst en goede ligging met voldoende ruimte. Op 15 minuten rijden ligt het Algonquin park. Bedden zijn wat aan de kleine kant.
Wonderful
We travelled around Ontario as a family in June 2016 and Logging Chain Lodge was by far the best place in which we stayed. The owners are very friendly and helpful; they made us feel very welcome and gave us great tips for places to eat, canoe trips and where / when to spot moose. The cabins were clean, spacious and had everything we needed to make our trip relaxing and comfortable. The view of Dwight Lake from the cabin is fantastic. Also loved the barbeque, outdoor seating and free canoe hire. Great location with Algonquin Park and Huntsville nearby. General store and fantastic bakery (Henrietta's) were within walking distance. I cannot recommend Logging Chain highly enough and would love to return one day.
Gezellig verblijf
Een ideale plaats om te verblijven op slechts een halfuur rijden van het Algonquin Park. Vriendelijke ontvangst en gratis parkeergelegenheid aan iedere lodge. De keuken is uitgerust met alle voorzieningen en handdoeken zijn aanwezig, ook al wordt er bij de reservering meegedeeld van niet.
Enjoy the lake
Nice cottages in spacious setting. Every cottage has a clear view at the lake. The cottages are a bit outdated, but are fully equiped and clean. The owners / staff are friendly and helpfull. Various things are organised during the week, like: archery, campfire, craft morning for the children. Canoes and gear are available for the guest. Various play items for the children and adults. We enjoyedor stay this week very much! Alconquin park is 20 minutes drive from the lodge. The Lake of Bays brewery is 45 minutes drive from the lodge.
Recommended
For a cabin experience, it was excellent, i. e. clean. Not much else should be desired from a cabin establishment, and they fulfill the cleanliness criteria flawlessly. Location next to the lake and on a large swath of grass is excellent. Don't go during bug season though. It is a big mistake - the lodge and the park are swamped with biting insects and the whole experience is miserable if you plan to spend time outside (which you probably are if you are going there). Stick to winter and late summer.
Getaway from TO
We had 4 days at the end of June to have a short vacation with 2 sullen teenaged boys and their wonderful grandmother; we chose the Logging Chain off the internet because it was located in Dwight, close to Algonquin Park (so: familiar, drivable, beautiful). Little did we know how perfect this spot was! Very clean, friendly and helpful management, super convenient location, too. Three minutes (10 if you took the 'long way') an excellent General Store, & cafe next door; lovely walks along the water through the village and sandy, shallow beach across the road. The size was perfect, allowing the sullen youth to set up their games in their room and leave us alone:) along with a nice sized room for their grandmother and a large room for us.
Highly Recommended!
I highly recommend this place. Owners are helpful and friendly. The cottage is tidy, clean and comfortable. Great place to stay, with fantastic lake view, too! Right in the middle between Algonquin Park and Huntsville.
Perfect cottaging spot for families!
We go here every year! Perfect spot for a family cottaging: right on Lake of Bays, can see kids from any cottage almost anywhere they are on the property, wonderful, family owned & friendly atmosphere, 'almost gourmet' grocery store a 3 minute walk thru the woods and Huntsville, Dorset or Algonquin Park about a 10-15 minute drive away! What more could you ask?
Stayed here 3 times and will stay again!
I just got back from my 3rd stay at LCL. The 2nd was this past spring and the first time was several years ago. All 3 trips were with a totally different crowd, but all 3 were fantastic! The location is perfect as other reviewers have mentioned. 20min in either direction and your in downtown Huntsville or Algonquin Park. The lake is a 1-2min walk, and is in full view from all the cottages. I've stayed in a couple of the cottages. The two bedroom unit is a little small, but very clean and cozy, perfect for a couple or a small family. The duplex unit is awesome for larger groups. Satellite TV and WiFi keep you connected to the world and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need to cook (minus the food). The owners are very friendly and approachable and ensure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. The price is great considering Muskoka is generally not cheap. Everyone who I have brought here has loved it and I will surly be back soon! Mike
Good Memories
After, my wife and I, deciding to spend some time in the near north I spent a fair amount of time checking out the various accommodations in the Hunstville area. We finally settled on Logging Chain Lodge for a number of reasons: the overnight rate (stayed 5 nights), it's proximity to things to do and places to eat, and finally because we had stayed there in the summer of 1976 with our children. When we arrived and looked around all of the good memories came back. We had reserved cabin " A ", which is a 2 bedroom with a double bed in each. The cabin was clean, and comfortable. There was newer low nap carpeting in the living area. The bathroom was very clean and bright and appeared to have been very recently renovated with new sink, toilet and bath / shower stall. The beds were really good, firm and really comfortable. The kitchen was compact but very well stocked with everything that you would need. There was a BBQ outside and satelite TV. Highlites of our stay: gorgeous weather, breakfasts at the Moose Cafe (Dwight), Henriettas Bake Shop, (Dwight) lunch at 3 Guys and a stove (Huntsville), lunch at the Sunset Grill and cruise on the RMS Sequin (Gravenhurst), canoeing in Algonquin Park, coming across 3 deer on one of my morning walks and of course our stay at Logging Chain. Not so highlites: dinner at the Cookhouse Saloon (Dwight) ,
No complaints
Spent a week at Logging Chain Lodge with family and friends. We rented a cottage that had two floors - there was plenty of room (a total of 6 adults and 5 children). The cottages are clean and well equiped (wi-fi - sat. tv). You're a 20 min. drive to downtown Huntsville. The owners of the property are helpful and know the area very well.
Cosy Cottage great for a family getaway
Ross and Annmarie provide a wonderful setting for a holiday! There are enough activities that 2 teenagers were kept happy (campfires, archery, canoes & being a stone's throw from the lake). Logging Chain Lodge is located within 17 minutes of Huntsville to the west (great for picking up groceries from Walmart) and within 15 minutes of Algonquin Park to the east (we hiked 9 of the trails during our stay). The cottage is clean, comfortable and if you don't feel like using the provided BBQ, the kitchen is stocked with an amazing assortment of kitchen wares. I've already recommended LCL to my friends.
Loved it!
We travelled to Dwight for our one week family vacation and enjoyed every minute of it. The Logging Chain Lodge is exactly what you would expect after visiting their very informative website: a family friendly, quiet, quaint, close to the beach, relaxing, and inviting getaway. My husband and I stayed in one of the 2 bedroom cottages with our young daughter. We loved the beautiful views out of our living room picture window and the clean and comfortable amenities. Our daughter loved the children's playground and morning craft time as well as the campfires and closeby Kawartha Dairy ice cream. Our one week vacation sped by and before the week was done, we had signed up again for the summer of 2009. Looking forward to spending our second summer vacation at this wonderful cottage getaway.
