The property was good but not worth the price we paid. When I'm paying $700 a night, i expect everything to be provided upfront without the need to ask for each and everything. First off, the parking is situated at the backside of the property and the road that leads to the property is from the front. So there is no signs on the road to indicate that the parking exists at the back. Secondly, the door of the room was so hard to open. They don't have keyless entries even now in 2024. The food was okay, not exceptional. Overall one time visit for me.

Nostalgia in Muskoka
The hotel is cleaned and well-maintained but it's an old property and the rooms need to be renovated. That being said, it has a nostalgic feeling to it and the grounds and lakefront are beautiful. The saunas by the pool are a nice addition and the food is delicious. Staff are attentive and friendly.

It did not state anywhere in the property description that the beach is a small public beach. The water was so dirty that there was a warning sign at the beach saying no swimming due to high levels of bacteria. Also, we paid extra for a lakeview room and our room had one small window in the corner that was no more than 2' wide. Useless!

The room had an odour of mold, but otherwise the hotel itself was clean, and all looked very nice. There are certainly some staff issues with not being able to handle things at the dining room in the morning, and Pub in the afternoon/evening. I loved the property and the overall estate was beautiful.

This property is good if you plan to be out of your room enjoying all of the many activities provided by the hotel. I was looking to have a quiet night by myself, and it was hard to find a quiet place. The only quiet place was my room - which looked like the furniture was purchased from an estate sale in the 80's. There was no central air, just a massive wall unit which also looked to be from the 80s. I paid over $500 for this room. I was looking forward to using the saunas - two of them didn't seem to be heating up, when I got the third working - the sides are made of glass so I was on view to the rest of the hotel having dinner - plus a live singer (who was wonderful)...but it was hard to relax and feel comfortable sweating in front of 100 people eating dinner. All in all, a nice experience, but made for families and friends - not solo travellers.
