This place is such a beautiful place to stay in Muskoka. Surroundings of trees, water and hotel was a picture-perfect place. The hotel is very clean, food and drinks were great, and hotel service was absolutely 5star. Elevator was in perfect working condition to help move around floor to floor.

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here, and the staff was incredibly friendly. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, with the lake view being the best way to start the day. The breakfast was delicious, offering a wide variety of options. Julie and Jason were fantastic RMTs, and we felt rejuvenated after our couples massage. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely resort located on beautiful Lake Rousseau. The lakeside view from the hotel is spectacular especially in the fall. The room was clean, spacious and lead to a balcony overlooking the lake. Breakfast (included with your stay) offered both hot and cold items in a spacious buffet dining room. I would definitely recommend staying at Windermere House.

This is a superior property that always excells at every aspect of accommodation, service, and dining. Our room was extremely comfortable especially the bed. Dining was a pleasure both for dinner and breakfast. The surroundings outside are second to none and the furniture and amenities complement the natural landscape of Muskoka. We've been staying here twice a year for several years and it continues to amaze me. Certainly Windermere House sets the standard for excellence in Muskoka.

Stunning, well-maintained property with great amenities (the outdoor pool and hot tub were open until 10pm in late October!) and courteous staff. A very minor annoyance were the bedside lamps, which apparently were touch operated… one wouldn’t turn on and the other wouldn’t turn off (we unplugged both). Quiet, clean place with top quality bedding.

My girlfriend was in town from California and had never been to Muskoka so what better place than Windermere house. The staff was excellent, especially Heather in the pub! She made us feel at home and served up some tasty beverages. Watching the sunset by the fire and the morning Sauna over looking the lake was awesome.
