Lovely little motel! A hidden gem! We travelled through Kenora for 1 night with our dog. VERY clean room, nicely played out, great amenities, everything we needed was there. Comfortable bed. Quiet during the night. Nice recommendations for local food, we were able to avoid going back into the city center. Perfect after a long day of driving

Like many of the people who have written reviews, I was delighted to discover this inn. At first blush, it didn't seem like more than a roadside motel, but there was nothing I can fault about it. The staff were delightful, the rooms, super clean, very comfortable bed, great TV, easy access to Kenora and good suggestions to local restaurants. We will definitely be back again!

I was in town for a work event and had forgotten an important item I absolutely needed. The staff here went above and beyond - literally driving around town to track it down for me. Their kindness and dedication completely saved the day and turned what could have been a stressful situation into a great experience. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed, but it’s the outstanding service that really sets this place apart. I’ve never experienced such genuine care at a motel. Highly recommend to anyone passing through—you won’t find better hospitality!

We originally planned on staying at another motel located in the Kenora city area, but after reading some concerning reviews we cancelled and booked Nature's Inn in Keewatin. It proved to be an excellent choice. The room was clean, modern and well appointed. We had a suite which included all the necessary kitchen supplies to prepare a meal if you want to. We dined out so just used the coffee maker, fridge and microwave. Beautiful bathroom with walk in shower. But the best feature of this pleasant retreat is the staff. They were awesome and a pleasure to deal with. We especially appreciated the freindly and accomadating interactions we had with the Assistant Manager "Jenna"! She was so nice, courteous and really knows how to treat her guests with compassion. She filled all of our requests and even helped us navigate the Keewatin area, which we found to be a beautiful community with undiscovered parks, marinas, restaurants and waterfront attractions. If you are heading to Kenora area and need a great place to stay this is the place I would highly recommend!! As their moto states "Nature's Inn Your Home Away From Home"

I had the luxury of vacationing at Natures Inn twice over the summer, and now that I finally have a moment, I feel compelled to write a detailed review! Let's start off by saying how amazing the staff are. I had the pleasure of dealing with Jenna, the full time front desk attendant, on multiple occasions. She was so helpful, kind, and you can tell she really cared about making sure her guests felt as comfortable as possible. If I could give Jenna alone a review, she would receive 10/10 stars. Now, the rooms! They are SO CLEAN! And so well put together. I never would have expected a "roadside motel" to have such nice rooms. The beds are so comfortable, and I actually want to track down the pillows they use because I slept so well. Since when is a motel bed comfier than mine at home?! lol. The floors are heated throughout the entire room, adjustable by the guest. The air conditioning worked great inside both rooms I stayed in. The kitchen came stocked with some dishes, a microwave, a sink, and more. Oh! And theres a cute little table and chair set outside every single room! Very nice for enjoying the early mornings, or late evenings! Businesses these days rely heavily on reviews, and I hope this one convinces more than a few people to book with Natures Inn! I cant wait until my next trip to Kenora.

My husband and I stayed for a night at the Nature's Inn and were very pleased with this property. The room was immaculate. The bistro set outside is a wonderful touch. Staff were very friendly and accommodating . We were in town for an afternoon event and we were able to check in early so we could freshen up before. This property is conveniently located within a short distance to Kenora. This is definitely a property we will stay at again .

This was the perfect t stopover spot for us. Travelling back to Saskatchewan after an extensive camping trip through Ontario and Quebec. We were a little tired of camper life and the thought of an extra long hot shower landed us here instead of in our camper. Lots of parking available if you have a trailer. The room was simple but perfectly clean. Even the bathroom fan was spotless. Bed was comfortable and yes the shower was hot and appreciated. Other accommodations in the area seem to be very highly priced. This was well priced and perfectly comfortable. Thank you
