A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Stayed here on the weekend before the season began so we were the only guests. While the prices are a little high for what you get, it is family owned and operated. Brenda and Art were amazing hosts, they lit the fire for us and showed us around the property while playing great music. The motel has an incredible character on the outside and honestly we had a great experience overall. Close to the beach (like a minute walk) and close to the river and the Nancy island. If we come back to Wasaga we’ll definitely be staying here again.”
“Three friends and I spent the May 2-4 long weekend with Art and Brenda . We had an absolutely amazing time. The fire was going every night with the company of both Art and Brenda . They were happy to serve us and help us in any way possible. They like to consider their lifestyle "camping with a roof over your head" and I think that suits it quite well. Our room had one bed and a pullout couch , as well as a bathroom. There is showers that are shared but they are kept clean and the water pressure isn't too bad at all ! All in all , we all really enjoyed our time spent at Santa Fe. We would definitely recommend and will be returning again !”
“Hands down the most friendly place I have to. Art and Brenda, and the staff treat you like family! Very accommodating and always around if you need anything, and they have everything! We went with our 3 year old twins and Brenda was always bring something new and exciting out to entertain them! The camp fires at night wee my favorite! They also let us keep our boat on the river behind the hotel! Feeding the ducks were a big hit with the kid's!”
“Brenda (owner) was an incredible host and showed us tremendous hospitality. I had the best time here! The place was very cute and super clean, perfect for families or couples. Even the atmosphere was lovely! A really great place to stay if you’re looking for something very close to the beach and boardwalk. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back in the future.”
