I had a lovely stay at Blue Water Acres, which offered a peaceful escape from the city. The cabin was clean and cozy, with well-stocked amenities, perfect for a short stay. However, I did encounter a couple of issues with the TV setup, and I noticed some oddities in the cabin layout that made it slightly uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a great spot for nature lovers, being so close to Algonquin Park.
