There were so many extras at this vacation spot that really surprised me. They had canoes, games,floats, safe swimming with dock area, paddle boats and free fire wood. We had a wonderful vacation and many people who have come back year after year. Although we didn't catch any fish, we found a wonderful bakery a 5min walk away with the best pizza I have ever had. You are close to Dorset which is fun for some shopping and Minden also has great stores. I would recommend it to anyone who loves the northern scenery and wants a relaxing vacation spot. oh and you must see the log shute just minutes away. Very interesting.

This is our first visit to Loralea. We had a great time. Our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The cabin was very good and we had a peaceful time. TV and VCR are also available for rainy days. The owners go out of their way to make your stay pleasant and comfortable. We had trouble etting the fire going and our hostess helped us with it. The next day we had gone out and by the time we got back, she had assembled the logs, all ready for us to light the fire. I will never forget this instance. My husband and I had a great time talking to the owners while relaxing in the evening, as well as other guests.

I recently returned from my second stay at Loralea Country Inn, and certainly plan to return. Bill and Heather are a friendly couple who work very hard to make their guests feel at home, and to keep the grounds looking good.
Although the cabins/cottages are older, they are well equipped, both inside and outside. The towels may not be Royal York size, however the hot water is plentiful, as is the firewood.
This year I booked two weeks at the lakeside cottage. Though part of the resort, my family and I enjoyed having a private dock for fishing and secluded outside sitting area. We felt there was nothing better than having nightly campfires right beside the lake.
Of course, we also had the use of the beach, paddle boats, water toys, games etc. that the other guests enjoyed.
Loralea, on Halls Lake, is within easy driving distance of many local "Tourist Attractions", whether you want to check out shopping, sports or area history. Even Santa's Village, Bracebridge is only an hour away!
I highly suggest that you consider Loralea Country Inn Resort for a reasonably priced, pet friendly family or couples holiday..

I had a wonderful time. Quiet, relaxing and the grounds were clean & well kept. A perfect way to end a summer vacation before heading back to work. The whole family enjoyed their time there. We will book the resort again in the future.
