We had a wonderful stay here! The breakfast-to-go package was so kind and thoughtful. The view was stunning. The food in the downstairs restaurant was great! It was awesome not to have a TV in the upstairs unit. They have games available which were fun. The futon bed wasn’t very comfortable for the kids and the floors were not clean but otherwise was a fantastic little place.

The place is beautiful. The property when you enter has a very welcoming look. The best thing was the hassle free checkin. The rooms and the entrance all Have the keypads to put a code and enter. The room and the washroom were both very tidy. And they also had some to go breakfast goodies in the room. The deck outside the common room has a beautiful view of the river! The only issue with our room was the mattress was very soft and was slightly lopsided which made it a little difficult for 2 people to sleep.

Would have preferred a guarantee parking spots rather than going to over flow parking waiting for restaurant guest to leave to get a parking spot - this was the only draw back to the stay.

Lovely get away

Great stay. Room was lovely and the deck with view was great to relax for an evening. Not a fan of non-compostable keurig coffee pods. Breakfast underwhelming but there were some nice local options to make up for it. Restaurant was amazing for supper.

Enjoyed Our Stay

We stayed for 3 nights and found The Fourth Lock to be an excellent choice. We dined one night at the Fourth Lock restaurant and the meal was excellent at a reasonable price. Our host was very friendly and informative as well, giving us travel suggestions. A couple minor nit picks are the bed was a bit too soft and breakfast was not ideal for someone that can't eat much sugar. The view of the lake from the deck was very nice though the road was quite busy.

We were only advised by email on the day of arrival that the dining room closed due to an event. Our room was changed to the top floor, facing the front where a Wedding reception of extremely noisy music was blaring & people shouting until 12.30 am so not much sleep. The banister railing to our room Thomas was very loose & very steep stairs were dangerous as no landing at top of stairs. Breakfast was in fridge for the following morning of a bowl, with 2 apples, 1 orange & cereal bars. We emailed the website to complain & ask for a refund, no response.

Do not stay here

Disappointing when there is no one to greet you when you show up and then get into the room with zero charm and a bed that is literally on the floor. 2 hour wait in the restaurant for guests and we were told to come back in 2 hours and when we returned we were told the kitchen was closed. Breakfast was already in the room and included a stale dry muffin and a rotten apple. Awful stay and overall experience.

My parents and I had dinner and stayed a night at The Fourth Lock before heading home the next morning. The food was delicious and the restaurant's ambiance was wonderful with beautiful views of the lake. The room we stayed at was very spacious, clean and comfortable and also had an excellent view of the lake. Highly recommended!
