Spent two nights at the inn while working in Minden. The Inn was pretty much closed with the management meeting us to sign us in and then leaving for the night. Loved the serenity and the quiet. Can imagine that it is a great summer hotspot as it has a small beach and canoes etc. The front of the property... More

We stayed at the Red Umbrella Inn for one night over the Labour Day Weekend...and now we can't wait to go back! The inn is gorgeous, well-kept and with stunning views of the lake. My two young sons enjoyed the large, sandy beach and we were grateful that the inn was so welcoming to children and dogs. Also impressive, is... More

Honeymooned at the RUI in 1999. Were back in 2012. There have been some changes and the upgrades are on the way. We booked a cabin with jacuzzi and thought it was nice. The TV was not working properly and it was London Olympic week. We thank Richard for troubleshooting and getting us up and running. Swimming is excellent and... More

Stayed here for two days at the end of July. An absolutely beautiful setting, great food and a staff that seems eager to bend over backwards to make you happy. Not ultra-luxury - more of a home away from home, but with a big deck overlooking the water, lawns and trees, big comfortable common rooms if it rains, gorgeous views... More

Stayed here for one night last weekend. On arrival, the property and the location is excellent. View is exceptional and access to lake is easy. Sadly though, the room we were given was, well, left a lot to be desired. Basic one bed, outdated fridge and the carpet looked like the inside of a 70's dorm room. Some of the... More

We stumbled upon this wonderful place for dinner just on the outskirts of Minden by accident. The Red Umbrella Inn is a lovely little place for dinner or for a weekend getaway. We were blown away by the service and the food. The Executive Chef Michael Chilvers is a genius in the kitchen and presented us with two incredible tasting... More

we visited at Easter, we stayed in the Jacuzzi Suite which is fully equiped. Very nice and clean (really good value if you plan to cook your own meals) a lttle pricy if you take the meal plan offered. the meals were very good and Chef Michael is eager to please. My one suggestion for the Sunday brunch is to... More

Wonderful value. Our room (in the inn) was no frills, but cute and clean. The owners are friendly and eager to help but gave us plenty of space. The lake is beautiful and clean, and the swimming is fantastic. I understand that the new owners are updating -- we hope they keep it affordable!

We stayed here a night to enjoy the fall colors in Algonquin and around. The ownership changed less than a year ago and the owner was working hard to update/upgrade the Inn. We stayed in one of the economy units which are in need of a significant refurbishment, but the service was great. The location is stunning, on a lake,... More
