La Bannik

Beautiful campground. The lots give the impression of being more private than some other campground. The lake is within walking distance and very pleasant to swim in for adults and kids. The washrooms were clean and we'll maintained. Unfortunately there was no longer any paddleboat rental and this had not been corrected on their website. Also the firewood was not being delivered anymore. The pool is clean and large but very deep starting at around 5' and going down to around 6', therefore not very young kids friendly. Overall it was a beautiful experience and I still highly recommend this campground to everyone.

Have been there dozens of times for meals and stayed several times over the years. The campgrounds look quite popular and spaciousness abounds. Excellent hidden oasis with easy international flights into Rouyn-Noranda, Que making it available to anyone in the world. There is a National Historic Park honoring the First Nations of the Area, a world class golf course, and you are on Lake Temiskaming which means you could bring your yacht or sail boat from Ottawa too.

Went for dinner. Food was great. Best Nachos I've ever had at a restaurant. The view overlooking the lake down below the cliff is beautiful. Great place to go for a walk before or after dinner.

We just went for our honeymoon and got le pin rouge". It was private

I'm a business person who was taking a group of clients on this snowmobile excursion at my expense so I booked the whole resorts in Dec 2021 for a January 2022 weekend which they requested a deposit. I inquired further on this deposit re Covid and trails being groomed which they said not a problem as we can change the dates if the trails were not groomed which made me feel better so we proceeded. When our weekend I called ahead to advise that the Swisha Loop had NOT been groomed due to lack of snow which I was told the owner was out of Country and would contact me to re-schedule which she never did after several messages left in vain nor did they ever refund my $650 deposit so I would be very careful in booking this resort.

We loved the cottages. They are set up like rustic hotel rooms with well equipped kitchenettes. The grounds are well kept and there are lots of outdoor activities nearby.

Dinner was fabulous with gourmet delights, and a beautiful view with a float plane landing. This campground complex is quiet, clean and very well managed. Pool is great. Our trailer was nice, but we have booked a cabin for next year.

Le Grand Pin: Hosts thought of every possible need including fully equipped kitchen; umbrellas in case of rain; playing cards for shut ins all in a pristine immaculately clean and beautiful facility. Grounds are well laid out and kept. Quality service and guest care are evident.

I stayed at “Le Grand Pin” with friends and family this weekend and I oh, so recommend it! Gorgeous cottage, sleeps 15! 2 hot tubs! Two fridges! The place was immaculate. Merci La Bannik for a wonderful time. We shall return! Dan S.

For a start, I'm not in the business to slam small independent business and this report does focus on what was good and what wasn't. My hope is the the areas that need to be addressed are addressed for future guests. We won't be back but its more because there is no shortage of options and we like variety. So here go's:Booked one of the small luxury chalets at La Bannik for just under a week and here are our thoughts:Cottage, albeit a tad small was very nice and clean, Everything worked and your own personal hot tub is awesome. Nice propane fireplace and heated floors was a nice reception when we got back from a day on the trails. Only negative was the size and lack of cooking abilities other than a microwave and toaster oven. They do offer a cottage with a full kitchen but its 2 bedrooms and a loft. Better for a family and of course, more expensive.The food (Dinner) - We opted for the snowmobile pkg which included a full breakfast" and dinner. Found out that over 1/2 the items on the menu had an up-charge over the package offerings. Valentines dinner was a pre-fix with most of the regular menu missing. This offering has a substantial up-charge which we were forced to take. This was not a problem based on the menu as all the offerings looked excellent! Upon ordering we were informed that the appetizer (Shrimp Cocktail) was sold out (7:30pm) and they would sub in a salad (Chef or Caesar). No discount. The salad was iceburg lettuce and a few grape tomatoes. The rest of the meal was totally under whelming
