Tranquille, Peaceful, quiet!

We didn't stay at the lodge as we live locally but we did come for lunch, as they offer lunch or dinner for non-guests, as long as you call ahead and check availability. We had been recommended this place by a couple of people and decided to check it out. For $15 each, we had an unlimited taco buffet. All food is cooked on site, has that "home-made" feel to it, and is delicious! You had to be quick for the dessert though, as that went quickly 🙂 the views were beautiful no matter where you were on the property, and it was so peaceful. Thank you to Richard and your team for a great first visit, we will be back.

I got a chance to stay for 3 nights recently after a cancellation. My friends have been raving about the place for years as they are long time regulars. I definitely can understand why they enjoy going back every year.

The location is majestic with over 800m (nearly 2,000 ft) of waterfront with probably about 75 - 100 acres of forest land. It takes almost an hour to walk the perimeter of the land.

There is a main lodge, with perhaps a dozen or so cottages, ranging from very small ones on the beach, to large ones set back a bit. I stayed at the Victoria cottage which is a large one with 8 individual rooms and shared living room, kitchen area and amenities.

The rooms were small, but adequate for sleeping, and had their own sink wash area inside, a surprise for such a small room. There are multiple individual toilets and showers for everyone to use. There is no AC, but the breeze kept it relatively cool except on one night at bedtime when it was quite warm. Bed was basic but comfortable.

The lodge provides 3 meals a day included. The food is best described as comfort food. Good quality and adequate quantity and selection, but not gourmet. They do cater as much as possible to people with special diets. Love there home baked bread and cookies.

It's definitely a laid back place, where you can do many activities from tennis to kayaking, biking and walking or just take it easy reading, relaxing, talking and enjoying the views. Everyone from staff to guests are friendly.

I definitely hope to return next year if I can get in, as it's booked solidly with repeat customers.

Amazing location, wonderful attentive staff, food is good old fashion cooking (just like Grandma cooked). Love it and can't wait for next time! 😊

Late Dec, 1997 I spent 3 days here. I stayed in one of the cabins. I totally loved everything about it! Food was amazing! I was alone and all the guests were fantastic! Richard and his wife were so kind! I will never forget that time. I strongly recommend it!

Rustic and friendly; a favourite retreat place to be taken care of with great food, plentiful firewood, restful lodge, forest walks, beaches, ocean pool, seaside views, and live music dance parties on Saturdays!

A hidden gem. It's no wonder it is so solidly booked for most of the year. Well worth it to be persistent and keep calling and checking in hope of a cancellation. The YPL triathlon of "Eat, sleep and read" is so rewarding. Unequalled location, super friendly staff (and fellow guests), and superb food.

I’ve been going to YPL for over a decade. We stay for three nights. Love this place, simple rustic and welcoming, every time.
