Stayed one night for a company function/dinner. The food was great and the room was large and clean. Buffet breakfast in the morning was a perfect start to the day. Didn't have a chance to golf but will do so on my next trip there.

We spent the first weekend in May at Oakwood. We have golfed there many times but have never stayed at the resort. The room was lovely with king bed and fireplace. It was very quiet. We were beside the Gazebo with our party in the room and a baby next door and we didn't hear a sound. The food was... More

We stayed at Oakwood as a 'stopover' on the way to Michigan for an event. We arrived 8-ish to see the last blush of sunset and then went down to the indoor pool and hot tub. The lights were off and there were no towels. We turned on the lights and then used our cell phone to call for towels.... More

I have been fortunate enough to stay at the Oakwood approximately 6 times in the past 3 years. Each time I have stayed with a hockey group. The Oakwood resort is extremely accomodating. I certainly recommend the Oak lodge, as this is the location with the pool. One of the wonderful features of this resort is that security leaves the... More

I stayed at this resort with a very large group on business in May 2-5, 2001. The grouns are very good and clean. The lake is a short walk just a couple of minutes from the resort. The rooms or cottages are very big with large, comfortable beds. It is surrounded by forests and very calm. The flies were not... More

We chose the Oakwood Inn for my daughter's May 2012 wedding - she and her husband fell in love with the setting - the grounds are so beautiful. We had so many out of town guests that we had to find somewhere that offered reasonably priced top notch accommodation - the complete package. The rooms were newly renovated and the... More

Stayed on the upper floor of the Oak Lodge. The room was nice, spacious, and well finished with contemporary furnishings and wood panelling throughout. I would suggest the upper floor, because these rooms have dramatic vaulted wood-panelled ceilings, whereas the units below obviously do not. The room was quite cold; the thermostat on the wall apparently does nothing, and the... More

This resort is GORGEOUS and a quick walk to an ENDLESS beach with a tremendous vista. It feels cosy like Christmas! The decor is lovely--just right. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was all delicious and the service was exemplary. The bed was super-comfortable, HUGE, and there were lots of extra pillows, blankets, and towels. The wifi was... More

The resort is divided up into several sections. Each one is a step up from the other. We stayed over night in the section called long house. This is a motel motor inn type/style accomadation. We parked in front of the room, so easy in and out. The room is a little outdated and needs to be renovated. Bed was... More

We had a short fall road trip to Michigan, and on our return we drove through Port Huron/Sarnia and headed to the Oakwood Resort in Grand Bend for the final weekend. I really love the Oakwood Resort - it's like a resort in Muskoka, except it's on Lake Huron. It's a grand old Inn, with several buildings, all with different... More
