"Great lake! The boat house was clean and cozy, well equipped. The only thing is that it needs more lighting. The drive way slopes so stay on the gravel part as the car can get stuck if parked on the steep non gravel part especially if the ground is wet it can be muddy.

Residence Inn by Marriott Gravenhurst Muskoka Wharf

10/10 Excellent

"The location was excellent. Walking trail at the door and boardwalk to restaurants. Staff at check-in very friendly. Shared that it was my birthday and was given a pass for a cruise and was sent a piece of birthday cake later in the evening! Definitely recommend this property."

Windermere House

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had the great pleasure of spending part of our summer holidays at Windermere House this July, and it was everything we hoped it would be—and more. This historic resort, originally built in 1870, carries a rich legacy. Although it tragically burned down in 1996 during the filming of a movie, it was impressively rebuilt within a year to match the original design. Since then, it has been thoughtfully renovated multiple times. What you get is the best of both worlds: timeless charm with all the modern comforts. Staying here truly feels like stepping into a bygone era, yet nothing feels outdated or tired. Sitting out on the front lawn, it’s easy to imagine the many generations of guests who’ve relaxed in those same Muskoka chairs overlooking the lake for over 150 years. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean, though I did notice two small drawbacks: only one sink and a shower head with a rather thin stream. Still, it functioned well and didn’t detract from the overall experience. The shared spaces in the hotel—the elegant lobby, the cozy lobby bar, the upscale Russo restaurant, and the more casual downstairs Windermere Pub—are all beautifully designed. They strike the right balance between classic country resort and stylish modern retreat. We enjoyed an exceptional dinner at Russo; both the food and service were top-notch. The Windermere Pub offers a more relaxed and affordable option, with equally great service and"
