"We had a lovely short overnight stay at The Muskoka Lake cottage. The stay was comfortable and the scenery was beautiful. We lit a fire roasted some marshmallows and star gazed until midnight "

"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 Staying here truly feels like stepping into a bygone era, yet nothing feels outdated or tired.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.

"Very nice stay. Wish we could stay longer "

"L’endroit propose un site propice pour profiter de la nature. Il se situe très près de la rampe de mise à l’eau ce qui facilite grandement l’expérience. De plus, il est près de tous les services tels que restaurants, épicerie…Nous avons passé d’agréables moments en famille."

"This is a beautiful cottage, clean, spacious and has a good size property with many trees which allows for privacy. The waterfront is beautiful, walk in shoreline and a dock. I would definitely stay here again. The host accommodated me and made sure everything was scent free which is very nice because many rentals say it will be scent free but isn’t. "

"I had a fantastic stay ; the property was private and the cottage was clean and very comforting. Highly reccommended!"

"The service ia exceptional just the bufget dinner is super costly and hardly veggie options on menu. The sever refused any help but the manager was awsome and got us special off the menu veggie platter so that was awesome service. Every other bit was top class."

"Staff were excellent!"

"We had a concert at the Kee and came from out of town so decided to find a place near by to stay. We were so over the top impressed with the Dudley inn. Not only was it less then 8 mins cab ride the the venue but it is SO cute and quaint. Our king room was clean so spacious and stunning. The bed was so comfortable and I literally had to take a photo of the brand of pillows to buy for home. The amenities were also a bonus - water bottles, neapresso, tea, Muskoka chairs out front etc. I couldn’t recommend them more to anyone that is wanting to stay in the bala area "
