We had a family weekend gathering and found the facility to have all the charm to be expected of a cottage/lodge. Cottages and rooms are clean, neat, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The amenities provided were certainly suitable for our family gathering of four generations providing winter snow for the younger ones to play in and a warm cozy fire in the lodge fireplace with fireside comfortable seating. The Terrace area kept others busy playing pool, shuffleboard, and darts with lots of catch up conversations.  In the morning the Sunroom overlooking the patio and lake is the perfect setting for that first cup of coffee and breakfast of your choice. Menu options are wide and Chef Jen ensured all tastes were met, even addressing some dietary challenges. Another larger group were there for lunch and there were numerous compliments extended to Chef Jen for the delicious lunch provided. Would highly recommend Spectacle Lake Lodge for family gatherings, birthdays, anniversary parties etc.

Super family gathering

It is a little out of our way,  but we had been there for breakfast in the summer and it is a cute place.  So, we decided to go for dinner.  We were not disappointed. We  had the smoked prime rib and it was excellent.  Service was awesome!
Definitely would recommend and will be going back again.

Great Smoked Prime Rib!

I didn’t stay over there but I did eat there and it was fantastic and reasonably priced. I had the amazing huge wings and my wife had the fish and chips. All were outstanding and delicious and filling. The owners Gladys and Kelly are so friendly and down to earth, and the staff is nice and friendly also.  Lastly, the view of the lake and that little island are so beautiful…highly recommend this place for a stop in while cruising highway 60.  

Food and staff are outstanding…Thanks

The owners of this lodge are a real delight!  They are extremely personable and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a pleasant one!  The cottage was well equipped and I appreciated not having to pack pillows, bedding or towels.  The lake is beautiful and peaceful.  The restaurant food was delicious and the portions were very generous.  I hope to return again later this year!

A Lovely Weekend Away

My husband and I celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary at the restaurant.  We enjoyed a prime rib dinner with great service and a live band. The setting was right out of a postcard. I highly recommend it

Anniversary Dinner

My husband and I spent 1 night 2 days at Spectacle Lake Lodge for the first time this week. We booked a lodge room which was really comfortable and offered anything you would need for a comfortable stay. There was sitting spaces, chairs and table plus a chesterfield.

The room was fantastic, the Madawaska Spectacle Lake Coffee provided in restaurant and room is the best coffee I have tasted in years. The bed in our room was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was well stocked, the shower had great water pressure, the towels and linens were much more luxurious than one normally finds in a near-north Ontario lodge. 

We had a kettle to make tea, a fridge and coffee pot with the delicious coffee provided at no charge.  The room provided lots of space, was clean and offered many extras, like extra pillows, extra blanket, extra soap, towels and more. 

We enjoyed a dinner and a lunch in the restaurant, both were delicious. The servers were both efficient, safe and friendly.

We will be returning for another tiny getaway later this month because it was so lovely and relaxing. Thank you!!

Great Lodging Great Food - AMAZING Coffee!

Spectacle Lake Lodge is an informal, relaxing place to spend a few days during the fall season. We took a cabin without a kitchen. It was comfortable and had everything  one needs. Sitting on the front porch, we faced the lake. The dining room served a feast of foods - we enjoyed the ribs and breaded fish platters. The staff were attentive and we had a picturesque view down the lake. Our main activity was hiking. A short walk from the resort is the entry to Spectacle Ridge Trail. Climbing up to the lookout provided a variety of terrain. The view from the top was stunning. From there many more trails would provide days of hiking.  This is a delightful little spot in the upper Madawaskas.

autumn stay

We were there with a group of 4 couples to do some trail riding on the side by sides. It was the perfect base for the weekend.  The staff was super friendly and accommodating.  The restaurant was fantastic.   The rooms were clean and and so so quiet.    Will definitely make a return trip to stay in one of the cabins.  

Great weekend 

Trip with the side by sides to Trail Ride

We arrived Thursday to checkout Monday morning. A bit of an early 30th anniversary celebration. We stayed in cabin 7. There are 2 bedrooms, 1 queen and 1 with 2 twins. Also a daybed in the living area to serve as a couch. Full fridge and stove, both working well. A small kitchen table suitable for 2 . The kitchen has dishes, pots and pans and silverware, glasses and cups. Microwave, kettle, coffeemaker and supplies small packages of ground coffee which is very good! You can purchase it in the lodge or at their store in Barry’s Bay, Madawaska Coffee Co. Packets of sugar, powdered creamer and tea are supplied.
All bedding, pillows, towels for bath and kitchen were supplied.
There’s a small 3 piece bath, tub/shower combo. The water heater is also in there, we never ran out of hot water! The shower is decent with good water pressure. But just a note-there’s a step up to access the shower that could be hard to navigate for some.
There’s a gas fireplace, baseboard heaters and a n air conditioner, which we didn’t use as the weather turned chilly our first day.
Outside you have a lovely front porch facing the lake, it’s absolutely beautiful! And is about 25 feet from the edge of the lake in which you have your own fire pit, plastic chairs and picnic table. On the porch are plastic chairs and a small table, and your bbq.
There’s a restaurant on site in the lodge. We only did take out our first night but it seems a pretty popular spot on weekends, especially for dinner! 
On the back side of the lodge is their beach, not warm enough when we were there to use it but it looks very good!
We had good service if we needed anything and everyone seemed happy and friendly!
This particular cabin, you could sleep 5 comfortably but the living space would be awfully cramped in weather if you all need to be inside. For 2, it was perfect!
However, if you’re expecting a high end resort accommodation, this may not be for you, the inside of our cabin, the carpet is well used and some things are a bit “rustic”, but it’s comfortable, tidy and very cozy.
Overall, we had a nice fun yet romantic stay and would definitely consider coming back!

Mini vacation

I stayed here and it was a lovely spot. I had room 1A which is by the water. You can park very close to your room. The beach has a little playground and chairs to relax in. The rooms are clean with a fridge coffee maker, tv, fireplace and clean towels. The food from the restaurant was incredible.
