Arowhon Pines inside Algonquin Park

Went for dinner, didn't stay. Food and service were excellent. Dining room is lovely. The location is very quiet and private - beautiful views of the lake and forest.

My Mom, sisters and I just came back from our annual Arowhon Pines adventure and it was wonderful as always. I can't say enough great things about the staff - all of them - but in particular, Theresa and Adam (owners), Eric, Anne Marie and Terry. My sister is partially disabled and cannot walk very far so she had a terrific team of 'chauffers' who picked her up in resort golf cart at our cabin and took her to the dining hall or dock and back with such care. The food is outstanding and the chef is very flexible for those who have food allergies or other regimes (eg vegan). Meals are a highlight of every day. The cabins are beautiful, clean with a central living area, stone fire places and with screened in porches overlooking the lake that are a godsend. Thank you to the whole staff at Arowhon. You are the best.

I stayed for a week with an art group, at Arowhon and we had an incredible experience. Very friendly and efficient staff, wonderful grounds, with natural plantings, a unique dining room with a central fireplace and cuisine that is unmatched anywhere. Three or four entrees at every dinner ranged from Arctic char to venison, beautifully presented and seasoned perfectly. What a wonderful week.

We needed a place to get away and reconnect. This was the perfect spot. As an avid swimmer this was the best outdoor swimming I've ever experienced. The food was as good as any restaurant and the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly and the other guests were kind and you could get to know if you wanted to. If adult beverages are something you partake just be sure to bring your own. We made use of the past to the park and did four hikes outside the resort as well as kayaking and canoeing. The sauna was wonderful. Not having the ability to get online was a bonus.

Wonderful place to relax and switch off. Hiking, swimming in the lake, kayaking, pontoon boat ride. Very helpful staff and amazing food. Stayed in a comfortable Bridgewood cabin with view over the lake for 2 nights in September.The weather was perfect.Wish it could've been longer

I found this place using google maps as they don’t seem to advertise. Everyone here clearly is ‘in the know’. It’s along way down a gravel road but our normal sedan handled it without issue. The food was insanely good, couldn’t believe how it was happening. I sailed a small boat on the lake a few times and it was ultimate zen. Fully recommend.

It is pleasant to be among the trees and wildlife. The canoes and water views are relaxing. It is natural to cast one's opinion in terms of value and against other similar resorts in similar surroundings. The rooms at Arowhon are middling - small and not really distinguished. Small. The central building - dining area - reminiscent of the Manoir Richelieu on a more intimate scale. Food - the food is somewhere between a 3 star Dominican all inclusive resort and a large cruise ship. A buffet amended with some a la carte choices in the evening. Breakfast was the high point meal. I understand that the food had been better in previous years - but the current offering are no where near what would be expected at this price point. If you are a regular guest at the resort - nothing anyone could say would dissuade you from visiting. Should you be deciding on where best to spend a weekend or a week - if you consider the price a stretch: skip it. Give Arowhon a pass. I would choose Emerald Lake in Yoho; Fogo Island; or any of the Fairmont wilderness properties over Arowhon.

Arowhon Pines is paradise. The location is as good as it gets. The food and service is first rate. The bed is comfortable and the room in the larger common cabins has everything you need albeit a bit small. No TV or cell service. There are many common areas that one can sit in, both inside and out so that makes up for it. Plenty to do. All activities are included: tennis, canoes, kayaks, game room with DVDs, ping pong, jigsaw puzzles, and various games. Bring a good book or two. So nice to just relax and get away from the internet, but it would be good if Starlink was made available. Some people do need to check a few things online daily even if only for a few minutes. Why not give people the option? Would we go back? Yes. The setting and great food and service is addictive. Everyone is SO nice!
