Lovely old resort with good size bedroom but only queen beds available at booking. The toilet didn’t work as well as it should but staff was concerned about giving it. The excellent amenities (tennis, SUP, kayak, shuffleboard) all included in your price. The pool was great with a large hot tub and ample lounge & chair seating. Gas fire pits available for outdoor night seating We had a lovely stay

We stayed 3 nights from September 3-6 2024. Windermere is truly the "Lady of the Lake". We enjoyed all the amenities, the beautiful grounds, the heated pool, the jacuzzi, the outdoor saunas and most of all the tennis court. The room was huge, the beds were comfortable. The TV's internet connection issue was quickly resolved, and a replacement TV was provided. However, regrettably, we were NOT made aware (at least it is not CLEARLY indicated on the resort's website; although I did find it after the fact) that the restaurant is closed Monday to Thursday after Labour Day. Although, the pub is open; however, we did not travel for 3 hrs to eat pizza and hamburgers! This, we can do at one of the establishments in our neighbourhood. Finding another restaurant was not part of our plan and would have required a 30-45 min drive. Of course, there is a bar, unfortunately without any bartender in sight! One more thing: the mention of bike trails is an exaggeration. Despite this, if one decides to go after Labour Day, one must consider the existing dining room arrangements. Conclusion: a wonderful place. J & W

I stayed here for one night with my 7 year old son. It’s a very traditional Muskoka resort. It was beautiful and my son especially loved the pool and activities. We had breakfast there and unfortunately the breakfast sausage gave us both food poisoning, making us both quite sick the following night. I was quite disappointed that our stay ended like that, and hopefully their breakfast buffet is improved so that can be avoided next season.

Beautiful location. Checkout was a bit slow and food at the pub wasn't great and was expensive. Rooms are nothing fancy but that doesn't matter because the grounds are stunning and there are plenty of activities so you don't spend much time in your room.
