"My grandfather started going to Dawson’s when he was 12 years old. He loved it so much that he took his family, and my mom started taking my sister and I. Now, my friends and I go up every summer.

They are clean and comfortable, the water is a short walk from all of..."

The 3 shooting stars were amazing one evening. It was nice to have a great roaring fire in..."

"I fell in love with Manitoulin Island and Dawson Resort back in 1964. The owners were Nelda and Colin Montgomery the nicest people I have ever met. They did everything to help me enjoy my vacation.

"Very pretty location. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Stayed in cabin 9, which was perfect for us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. It was nice to have a toilet in the cabin, but the floor in the WC needs some work."
