    I've stayed here twice now, Terry is an incredible host. Cabins have exactly what you need, plenty of dock space, the main lodge has ping pong and other activities to keep you busy, and the fishing is world class. I'll be back yearly.

    my wife and I just got back from a 4 night stay at the Toque, and it was truly amazing!! Some of the best scenery Ontario has to offer, from beautiful sunsets to the amazing wildlife. I highly recommend Ethan the fishing guide if your new to the French River or a regular, I went out for two 3hr sessions and it was the best fishing experience I've ever had. the first day going out for pickerel and small mouth bass and we caught at least 20-30 fish in including 4 pickerel we were able to take home, the 2nd trip was for musky, something I've never done, and I landed a 50 plus inch that broke the hook right at the boat!!! I am definitely going back to try again! The cabins are amazing wood and log structures, the perfect spot to find peace and relaxation. When you stay at the Toque, you find yourself and you get to meet some pretty awesome people. can't recommend this place high enough!

    The Tilted Toque is our favourite new spot to vacation! The cabins are super cozy and clean, and the scenery and wildlife is just incredible. Terry and his family went above and beyond constantly. The Toque is very family friendly, our kids ranged from 3 to 17 and every one of them fully enjoyed themselves. That is very hard to accomplish. We cannot wait to go back and highly recommend!!

    I can’t say enough great things about the Tilted Toque!! Terry and Ethan were amazing hosts, helping us fish and showing us around! Perfect setting for multiple families to vacation together, in separate cabins! Amazing views, cool wildlife, awesome docks for fishing and relaxing and a great lodge with games for rainy days! We will go back year after year!

    Amazingly peaceful & calm place, is definitely one of a kind destination. Coming from the middle of a busy city, it was a complete changeup from what we are used to but quickly fell in love with all of it. Was a whole journey from start to finish, and wouldn't have rather done it any other way. Terry is a simply superb host and always has an interesting story to share. Can't wait until we visit again some day!

    What an amazing place! Some family members and friends booked around mid July 2022 and it was fantastic. Feels like you are on a lake definitely not a river. So calm and peaceful, fishing was great for many species. Cabins are very clean and rustic with all the amenities you need. Loved that there was a fish cleaning hut, games room and miles and miles of water to be searched! Thanks Terry for the great memories!

    The Toque has become the new home of our boys annual fishing trip. This part of the French river is home to amazing scenery, wildlife and the walleye and muskie fishing is some of the best in Ontario. The lodge has a nostalgic feeling and charm that you can no longer find in this day and age. Terry and his son Ethan are a dynamic duo that are living their best lives on the French and make sure that those that visit get the same experience. The Toque is the perfect setting for a fishing trip, family get away or for that unique special occasion. It only gets better year after year.

    Really enjoyed the getaway to the Tilted Toque from the big city. As soon as we arrived we were greeted enthusiastically by Terry, who helped us with all of our stuff and boat us to the island escape. The cabin was clean and cozy. We were able to whip up some great meals in the kitchen. Fishing on the river was successful, and there are canoes and kayaks available. We chilled on the dock and read most of the time, enjoying the weather. I recommend this place for anyone looking to experience this beautiful Canadian landscape and not have to rough it at all!

    We just completed 5 nights at the tilted toque. We felt very welcomed right off the bat when Terry met us at the marina to take us over to the toque. Terry and family were always there the help out with anything we needed and direct us to the best fishing spots for pike, walleye and bass. We stayed in cabin 3 which was perfect size for 2 adults 2 kids (11&13) and our dog 🐶. We used the kayaks to explore the hardy river and during the afternoon we sat on the dock to enjoy the sun and jump off the rocks. We went out fishing with Ethan and caught some great fish that we had for lunch!We are really happy we found the Tilted Toque and will definitely be back again. Thanks for the great stay!

    We spent a week in July at Tilted Toque. We had such an amazing time, the camp completely exceeded our expectations. Our host Terry was extremely helpful, checking on us while we were driving there and making sure we have everything we need during our stay. Terry shared some valuable information on the lures and fishing techniques and places. He also recommended great hiking/kayaking trails for us to explore. Our two-bedroom cabin was spacious with a fridge, full kitchen and a bathroom with a shower. I noticed, each cabin faces the French river so that you could enjoy the beautiful view any time of the day. We also took a fishing tour with Ethan for walleye fishing. This was my husband’s dream. Ethan is very knowledgeable, we caught a few good size fish and took them home. Terry’s and his family’s hospitality were amazing. We really enjoyed our stay. If you love fishing, hiking, kayaking, swimming and photography - this place will not disappoint you. We will definitely be back next year!

    Our family (2 + 4 teenagers) had the best time at the Toque. The French River is beautiful and we explored the area on kayaks borrowed from the lodge. Terry recommended the perfect route and it was stellar. The cabinswere cozy and had everything we needed. Our only disappointment was not booking enough time - we would have loved to stay longer! Even if you're not into fishing (like we are not) there is still so much to do. And there was time to do nothing too. Love this place!

    The experience I had at Tilted Toque was amazing! Terry and Ethan were amazing hosts and taught us lots about fishing and the lodge itself. I highly recommend going here if you love watching beautiful sunsets and spending quality time with family! I can't wait to go back next year and the year after that! Don't forget to get their comfy merchandise! Thank you so much Terry and Ethan!

    My husband and I had an awesome time at the toque. Terry and Ethan are super accommodating and make you feel welcome and at home. The cabin was exactly what we needed for a few days away from the city - it has everything you need and nothing that you don't for a comfortable stay. Fishing was excellent, and Ethan and Terry both went out of their way to give us some tips and fishing spots for the species we were after. We will definitely be back!

    This is the place to be if you need a relaxing weekend away to enjoy the fresh air and peace and quiet of the French! Have been here with family and friends but this time it was a much needed girls weekend. Terry is a fantastic host and Ethan took us fishing and showed us how it's done! Kayaked up the waterway beside the Toque which was breathtaking. Beautiful location, cabins equipped with everything we needed!! We will be back!
