Beautiful historic establishment that has kept its special “cachet” through rebuilding and renovation. Excellent staff, very clean premises in wonderful Muskokas setting. First class cuisine, exquisite view on long veranda overlooking lake Rosseau. Quiet and relaxing sauna, pool and hot tub set up with gas fire pit, nice tennis courts. Spa services available. A must for couples!

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.

Very peaceful spot, great food at the pub and a nice breakfast is included. They have made some upgrades, like outdoor saunas, a new hot tub and pool area. All in all lovely. Room was spacious and clean, staff were very friendly and courteous. This is the best option around in the Muskoka are.
