"Lovely location with friendly staff. We were on a motorcycle and got caught in the rain. The receptionist sympathized with our plight ensuring we still got nicely settled into our room. Room was spacious and looked as advertised. Would stay again."

8/10 Good
"The property is beautiful and the view of the lake was nice. The room was mostly clean. We had to call the front desk to get bedding for the pull out couch. The website should be updated regarding rules about dogs and how the restaurant runs. It states that dogs are not allowed although there were many around. The breakfast is available earlier than 10 am and we didn’t need reservations for dinner. It was nice to have live entertainment. The pool needs to re-open! Servers were very friendly!"

Great Location and Fun For Everyone!

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location right in the heart of Muskoka. Most affordable place we could find in the area and clean as a whistle inside. Beware of Cobra Chickens (Canadian Geese) as they keep their distance, keep your distance from them too. Loons can be heard nearly every day. Don't feed the wildlife.Fishing off the dock wasn't bad at all (some hand-size large mouth bass and sunfish in our experience), but the best fishing is out in the nearby lakes. Plenty of watercraft rentals nearby. Easy access to supplies and restaurants by car. Nearby Shell station, groceries, dispensary. The nearest hospital is 20mins away, in-town EMS. EVERYTHING you could need. A great stay indeed.Quick aside on those birds for city people: As part of the nature of Muskoka, they will leave poop in all parts of the region. Watch your step."
