We found Sundog on the internet, and it looked like the perfect place to spend our first year wedding anniversary. I wish I never had to leave, not only was it relaxing, it was beautiful, and had everything you could possibly want in a romantic getaway. Ted and Mary both went out of their ways to make us feel welcome,... More

I have stayed at many resorts around the world, cottages, and even have a cottage outside of Parry Sound..(little lake Mckellar).. However this one had a certain aura of romance. MAGIC! My girlfriend and i, took our relationship to a new level of romance during our stay her.. The decor was rustic with a real touch of class.. If you... More

Thank you so much for making our 1st anniversary such a wonderful experience! We had such a great time relaxing and enjoying the Retreat and all its amenities. Over the weekend we kept busy swimming, hiking and canoeing. The hot tub was very appreciated and capped off our everyday. Your hospitality and cottages are definitely 5 Star. I had such... More

From the moment you turn down Sundog Rd., it is apparent that you are in for a unique adventure. The road twists and winds until you arrive at a spacious four suite complex. Each suite has its own character and flair. Having just been married, my wife and I had the absolute pleasure of spending an entire week in the... More

After driving over 1,000 miles and anticipating a "cottage" as stated in the advertisement I was shocked to find one huge building divided into sections. The place was hot, dark and very unappealing. The walk down to the water was steep and dangerous. One of the sections had matresses on the floor and a toilet in the room without walls... More

SunDog Retreat is a real gift – a breathtaking escape in nature to soothe tired minds, bodies, and souls. We just experienced it in the heat of summer with its lush vegetation, wild flowers, & herbs, and its pristine spring fed lake that energized and cooled our bodies. We have stayed at SunDog in the spring and in the winter... More

We were very disappointed by Sundog upon arrival at the resort. It was not at all what we expected, nor what was represented to us via e-mail and the website. This is a not a resort for families with small children. There was no beach at all! There is a public one ten minutes away, but who wants to drive... More

We stayed for three days in early May and were enchanted by the retreat, its surroundings and the hospitality of our hosts. The cottage we stayed in - knotty pine - was comfortably furnished, with modern appliances, whilst maintaining all of its rustic charm. Sunlight streamed into the cottage in the morning and birdsong was our wake up call. The... More

We just came back from a weekend at SunDog Retreat, March 11 & 12, 2005. Everything about our experience was positive, from the booking to the time we (regretfully) had to leave. Mary and Ted are wonderful hosts, and the cottages are perfect. In an email before we arrived, Mary asked our expected arrival time, and they had lit the... More

For more than 15 years a large group of us (14 to 20) have been going on annual three day winter cross-country ski vacations in remote areas of Ontario. The purpose of the weekend is a true get away from it all vacation where people can rejuvenate themselves, come together for breakfast and dinner, and enjoy the great outdoors at... More
