The copse of trees provides a visual and auditory buffer from the highway, and allows nature to surround you, refocusing your eyes on the verdant vistas below. The motel rooms are no frills, but have comfortable beds, soft towels, and cleanliness. The real star is the restaurant, though. The Indian family that runs the property and restaurant have brought their native flavors to the north woods of Canada, and every bite ie better than the last. My first evening I tried the Chicken Tikki Masala, the second I opted for the house specialty Butter Chicken. Both were perfectly made, mild, and delicious. The rice and naan were expertly made. Kush and her family were gracious hosts and hostesses, exuding kindness and humbleness. Frankly, I was surprised the restaurant wasn't packed to the gills. I would guess that the restaurant nearer to the road probably draws more patronage for the proximity to the thruway. If what you need is a simple place to relax in natural surroundings without wandering far from the road, I highly recommend Best Northern.

The owner sonny was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, with my wife and dog, and were very pleased with the cabin and the surroundings which were very quiet and private. There is a restaurant on site, but we cooked our own food on the BBQ. There is a large deck off the kitchen, which overlooks a private wooded area I would recommend this resort to everyone

My room was not very clean. There was toothpaste on the sink from the previous person. There was dust balls everywhere inside the room and there was a musty stench that I couldn't tolderate even with the windows open. The driveway wasn't completely cleared of snow and there was no real clear or marked parking spot. This place is a hard pass.
