Relaxing location on the river, decent parking, nice grounds with bonfire pits and seating. About a 10 minute drive to center of town.  Nice and quiet, and located in an area that takes privacy and relaxation seriously.  Our room was in serious need of renovation, musty and old.  Odour in washroom was even worse, holes in bedspread, satellite tv only had 2 channels.  Not terrible by any means, but we wouldn’t stay here again.

Adequate Overnighter

I’m really surprised by some of the bad reviews. My family has stayed here 2 summers in a row and plan to again next summer.
One thing I see in a lot of the bad reviews is the water, that has nothing to do with the lodge and is how all the water in the county is. I’m assuming those reviews are city people who have never been up north before. 
Everywhere in sauble is basically well water.
Anyways to the actual lodge. It’s right on the river with stunning views. I think the pricing is good for what you get 150/per night on week nights was ours in august. Has a coffee maker, little fridge, bbq. 
You get to use the non motorized water stuff whenever you want (within business hours) we have used like everything included never had an issue. 
I’m surprised people are all calling the owners rude we never experienced that we found them nice and helpful. The wife literally drew us a map of things she thought would be fun with our toddler. They also were super helpful and understanding when there was an issue with our card for our second payment (we book super early so they put it through after we are booked but closer to our stay).
The only accurate negative I’ve seen is the beds are very hard. But I’ll take that for the deal. 
5mins walk to the beach, on the river. 
Perfect family vacation! 
We will definitely keep coming back.

Good stay

They’re are pros and cons for this place my friends so I’ll start with the pros 
Pros
Beautiful location facing the river 
Beautiful beach 
Nice restaurants 
Friendly people minus a few 
Cons
Very rude owner off the resort
Rooms are extremely small
Beds are like rocks ….. I’ve slept on the floor more comfortable then those beds 
No proper ac …. Had too take a screen out too put the hose outside off the window for proper cooling ….. and then it left out room insecure 
People came and sat directly in front off our room so had too keep the curtains closed for privacy
And the curtains are from the 1950’s ……
If you like hard beds small places and rude owners this place is for you …..
My advice is too find a more comfortable place too stay 
I’m still tired from our trip because off lack off sleep and we even tried too get a refund too go somewhere else and she said no ….. so that’s my honest opinion my friends

Pros and cons

The first point to make here is just how rude and unprofessional the owners here are. We stayed here for 4 nights and the owners Ken & Charlene Reinhart are very difficult to deal with. The place that we rented was a dump. Easily the worst accommodation we have seen.  Dirty, smelly and flat out disgusting. The bathroom is smaller than bathrooms in campers. The water to shower and wash with is a brownish colour and smells terrible. We found several big spiders in the room, both dead and alive. The barbecue grill on our porch was old and disgusting. It looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a while. The place is really in bad shape. The rental of our room also is supposed to include "unlimited" use of non motorized equipment but they make it very hard so difficult to enjoy and to utilize. They clearly give priority to people coming in from the street (public rentals) because that generates more money for them since they already have my money. They have so many rules and policies, limits and stipulations on everything that it becomes very frustrating. At one point I thought I was in the Military again with all of the rules. The life jackets stink. There are time limits on everything and each time they overtly threaten each guest with charging their credit card if they return late. No tact at all in the way they talk to you so that everyone around can hear, especially Charlene. Every time we went down there she was yelling at someone or scolding someone. The day before we were ready to leave we came down and I asked Charlene if we could get a jet ski for a few hours and Charlene started to scold me that it was extra and wasn't included in our package and that it's very clear in the agreement I signed.... The manner in which she did this was rude, loud and VERY disrespectful. I had my credit card on file with them and fully intended to pay for the 2 hours and knew that it was extra. She went on this rave and never asked me. There's something very wrong with this lady to say the least.  My Wife got so upset with this ladies demeanor that she walked away. This was a terrible experience and we will never return. It was a complete waste of money. The way that this place is managed is so pathetic.

Terrible place.

Had a great 2 hr paddle in a tandem kayak to Sauble Falls and back to the dock. You can beach the kayak and walk to the Falls . Cost was apprx. $22 . Staff very helpful and polite. Will return for a longer trip

Kayak Rental

Clean but dated small riverfront hotel with basic features with rates appropriate to the location (not the rooms themselves).  Rooms overlook a boat dock, separated only by a public walkway, which can be noisy and impact privacy. Owner was friendly & welcoming.

Okay for Nighttime Stays

This is a beach and river destination so it is always booked. They don't have to try very hard to get people to stay. We found it clean but outdated. Management were nice. The location is beautiful with lots of water sports and very close to the beach. We found it very expensive for the quality of the accomodations

Too Expensive for what you get !

We rented two seadoos as we are a family of 5 and we were staying for the week. We paid up front for the two seadoos and bought a 10 hour package. We were advised that the rentals were first come first serve and we understood that. We took them out the first and second day for two hours at a time. We had a lot of fun. On the third day we arrived and we were advised that water conditions were unsafe therefore there would be no rentals. We went back the next three days and we were told again the water conditions were not safe. Our last day at the beach we went to use our pre purchased time and we were told that the water conditions were questionable but because we had 3 small children they wouldn't really advise us going out. We then tried to negotiate some of the money back because we paid over $1000 cash for 10 hours and only used 4. We didn't want or even ask for the  entire difference back. What we asked for was for the monetary difference back between the 7 hour and 10 hour package. The owner was very rude and took a very harsh tone with us and said " we don't do refunds". We pleaded our case saying that we came everyday and tried to use up the time, the weather was beyond our control and that we are trying to meet somewhere in the middle of losing $700. He was adamant that he would not negotiate. We asked to carry the hours over to next year as we come every year for a week and he rudely stated "no". We will never go back there and we highly un recommend these con artists. 



Horrible, AVOID!

Love Sauble River Marina.. owners are fantastic! Quiet time, family environment and clean living spaces are very important to them. 

Right on Sauble River, you can paddle boat, kayak, canoe, go to the beach, fish! Spacious living spaces, very very clean! Always ask about what is supplied ie pots, pans, dishes etc as it varrys depending on your room booking.

You are very close to the beach but able to get away from the businesses and still be on the water!!

Hidden Gem

The owners were very welcoming, the room was exceptionally clean and well appointed, gas BBQ, lawn chairs, water crafts and fire pit available for your use, the satellite had a huge offering of channels (english/french,lots of sports channels) with excellent reception, lovely electric fireplace, complimentary earth friendly soap and shampoo, coffee maker, microwave and fridge all new and clean, slept with the windows open...ahhhh the fresh air and sound of the river made for a great night's sleep AND the bed and pillows were perfect! My stay was a real treat, I felt restored and refreshed in the morning. They are open year round, I am looking forward to returning for all four seasons. Thank you Sauble River Marina and Lodge Resort!
