All Star Resort

We just returned from our stay at All Star Resort and I couldn't wait to write this review. We had such a wonderful time. We stayed in a comfortable and very clean cottage that had everything we needed; plates, cups, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. There is a fully functional kitchen with a stove, microwave, kettle and toaster. The shower had good water pressure, which was great to clean off after a long refreshing day outside. We stayed with our family of four (kids age 7 and 4); their room had two single beds, and our room has a double. It was exactly what we needed for a comfortable stay. We also had a deck attached to our cottage with a table, four chairs, and a BBQ provided, which was great too. Free WIFI is also provided, so look for the info posted on the wall in the cottage. We were able to park right beside the cottage, which was super convenient. The cottage has its own fire pit and dock and looks out onto the beautiful Madawaska river. We had access to canoes, kayaks and SUPs, which we really appreciated and took advantage of! The peaceful and serene river is just something I can't describe. Our canoe ride and kayak rides down the river were highlights for the whole family. Personally, I recommend waking up and watching the sunrise; the fog, the sounds of loons...it was definitely one of my highlights. Another added bonus is that the owners provide guests with an Ontario Parks pass to see Algonquin. They also had Algonquin maps, which I recommend taking from All Star as sometimes Algonquin runs out. It took us about 15-20 minutes to get from All Star to the East Gate of Algonquin Park. Although it is a bit of a drive, that's okay! It was a peaceful and scenic drive. Look out for animals on your drive; we were lucky enough to spot a mommy turkey and her baby turkeys, as well as a beaver! Many people report moose sightings on the drive to Algonquin as well, so you may get lucky! The owners were so kind, hospitable and passionate about their resort. Very knowledgeable about the area and super approachable, so if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask! We were so grateful for their hospitality and standard of cleanliness. It was such a comfortable stay. If you are looking for a natural oasis away from the city to unwind, relax and recharge I could not recommend this place enough. Before we left, we already booked our next stay a few months from now. Thank you, staff at All Star Resort!
