Testimonials

What our guests love about Perch Bay

We did not have a place to stay when we relocated from Guelph. They graciously offered us their cabin 18 for two months until we found accommodations. Everything was amazing. It was sad to leave such a picturesque view. Thank you again for all you did for us. If you are looking for somewhere to go on vacation, this is the place.

My family and I had a wonderful stay here in July. When we arrived the staff were very helpful and were accommodating throughout our whole stay. The rooms are well maintained and very clean. From what I understand the new owners have put a lot of work into the this resort. There is a big lodge with a pool table which was great to have on the rainy days. Fishing in the area is great.

Fishing was great, plenty of room for docking and launching your boat. We'll definitely be coming back next year. Great spot to rent a cabin with your fishing Pals as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to take the family or spend with friends.
