About this property

Welcome to Waterfalls Lodge Inc.

Waterfalls Lodge Inc. is a rustic lodge located on 432 Waterfalls Rd in Spanish, Ontario. Offering cabin rentals alongside bar, grill, and restaurant facilities, the property caters to visitors seeking a natural retreat with direct access to freshwater fishing and outdoor activities. Guests can expect accommodations equipped with essentials such as kitchens and comfortable bedding, although some cabins show signs of age and occasional maintenance concerns, including water pressure issues as noted by prior visitors.

The lodge is favored for its lakeside setting, with boats available for rent that allow access to nearby spots like Spanish River and Chutes Provincial Park. Fishing is a common pastime here, with catches often including northern pike, smallmouth bass, and walleye. While equipment and boats are generally well maintained and reliable, the quality of fishing can vary seasonally, impacting guest experiences on occasion. The scenic surroundings also include opportunities for ATV tours and beach access, contributing to the outdoor-oriented appeal.

Dining at the lodge features hearty meals and a bar & grill atmosphere, which has received positive remarks for generous portions and friendly service. The establishment embraces an LGBTQ+ friendly environment and is suited for visitors focused on recreation and sightseeing, although transport options are somewhat limited given its rural location.

Access is primarily by car, with Greater Sudbury Airport approximately two hours away, making this property a practical choice for regional travelers or those comfortable with a longer drive. Nearby accommodations offer alternatives within several miles, but Waterfalls Lodge’s lakeside cabins deliver a distinct blend of rustic charm and convenience for guests prioritizing outdoor adventure and tranquility.

Spent a fantastic week with my 2 boys (10 & 8) Fishing was great with several nice Northern Pike and Smallmouth Bass landed and released. Boats were clean..safe and reliable. The staff were all amazing..and were always attentive to suggestions for improvement. Only concern was the lack of water pressure in our cabin. Management advised they are trying to adress this issue. The food in the restaurant as well is service was incredible. Hearty bag lunches provided each day to take in the boat. My boys and I returned home well rested..and talking about a return next year.

Attended for a 3 night stay this summer. We stayed in one of the older cabins. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, and the BBQ started on our first try. Went fishing all 3 days but the fishing was so so. The people working here were very polite and the boats started every time we wanted to go out. The boats are starting to have some wear and tear due to being used but it's great to have the seat and flat vinayl bottom. My only complaint would be the price. It felt like it was a little too pricy for the quality of fishing. When you travel this far up north and pay this much, you expect to catch walleye, pike, and bass on a regular basis.

A fantastic cottaging experience! Communications with staff, pre-booking, were always prompt amd informative. This made for a straightforward booking process. On arrival, the check-in process took only a few short minutes. We were provided additional information about the Lodge's facilities, a map of the lakes/waterways in the area, and directed to our cabin. Our fishing boat, which was included with our booking and required no additional reservations, was secured to a dock directly in front of our cabin. Super convenient! I was provided a thorough tutorial on its use. The boat was perfect, we had zero issues with it the entire stay. The electric start makes operation super simple. Our cabin, #12, was larger than I anticipated. The kitchen was adequately outfitted with dishes and cookware. It was nice not having to pack bedding and towels! The cabin was very clean, but starting to appear dated in some areas, likely due for a refresh. Our fire pit was located just out front of our cabin, adjacent to the lake. A gorgeous setting. Firewood was very reasonably priced and readily available. The small beach area had some kayaks and waterbikes available to use, free of charge. These were great activities that we certainly made great use of. My family and I had a wonderful stay at Waterfalls Lodge, and look forward to returning next summer.

Just booked my 4th trip to waterfalls lodge. We live in central Ohio and it’s an easy 11 hr drive to the lodge. Cabins are always clean and the resort area is always clean and the staff is very friendly. We rented boats on our 1st visit . They are well maintained and the prefect size for 2 adults and a child. Now we bring our own boats and food. Cabins are right on the lake for a prefect view of the landscape. The deluxe cabins are great for a couple families to share. Boat traffic is minimal and the smallmouth fishing is action packed and nonstop. Don’t hesitate to book a trip here. We’re trying to book a fall trip as well. Tight lines and happy memories

Visited this past weekend. Rooms were clean and came with clean bedding and drinkable water. Staff was very friendly. Lots of boats for rental, unfortunately fishing this late in season was slow, and fish fought hard.

My partner and I had a very relaxing 3- night stay at Waterfalls Lodge. We loved our cabin. The view from the porch was beautiful. The only thing we thought that could have made it better was that they trimmed the bushes and trees to get a better view of the Falls. The sound of the Falls was very relaxing. We took the All American Plan and we enjoyed all the meals they served with the plan. The meals were very delicious! We enjoyed them all. And all the staff were very friendly and accommodating! Thank you for your great service! It was our first time and will surely be back in the future.

My wife and I just spent a week at Waterfalls Lodge and it was awesome. The owners Rob & Cathy go out of the way to take care of any of your needs. The cabin was great and very clean. We did the American Package and the food was amazing, they give you so much food that I felt guilty when I left anything on the plate. The fishing was good we caught just about every species, Walleye, Small mouth Bass, Northern Pike, Perch and Blue Gill. The grounds are very nice and clean, they have a beach and plenty of toys to play with for no extra cost. We took the ATV tour to Horseshoe Lake and it was a blast and we caught plenty of fish and the ride through the woods was great. One day they had a cookout on one of the islands and it was a lot of fun. When you leave you feel like you have really made friends with the owners. We cannot wait to go back, we are looking at booking a cabin for two weeks next year. The boats are really nice, I asked for a trolling motor which really worked out well. The lakes are absolutely beautiful. All I can say is Rob & Cathy Great Job!!!

Water Lodge Falls is a bit rustic and the cabins need some work. The restaurant is fine with good meals available. My son and I went there on 28 September till the 1st October for some fishing and relaxation.
