8/10 Good
"Showing it's Muskoka age the resort is a great place to unwind. our room was clean and updated,however it's path to the entrance was showing its age in algae, overgrowth and a somewhat unappealing entrance. The lodge hasn't changed since our last visit and the meal was delicious with a great server. Overall with a little tender care it could be restored to its original charm"
