This is a beautiful resort, with the perfect view. We loved the pool, hottub and saunas. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. This resort is about a 30-mins drive from Huntsville, where the closests restaurants and shops were. So you need to plan ahead. The rooms at the resort were old, bathroom was very small and very thin walls between each room. I was annoyed they allowed dogs which prevented us from being able to sleep due to barking. The resort was full, and there were people that were not staying at the resort to eat at the restaurant, so parking was an issue and we couldn't get a reservation in the restaurant for their Thanksgiving dinner.

We stayed at Windermere House in October. The property and surroundings are beautiful, with obvious attention to guest comfort and convenience. We were treated wonderfully by all staff we encountered. Had we stayed longer than two nights, we would have used more of the many recreational and comfort facilities available. As it was, we enjoyed great meals at the restaurant (best apple cheesecake I've ever had) and pub, a lovely paddle on the water, swims in the pool, sauna, and my wife had a massage at the spa. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with superb views of the lake. There was moderate sound transfer between our room and the adjacent room, which is connected by a door between them. Our neighbors were not loud nor annoying so no issue for us during our stay. We would certainly plan another stay at WH if visiting that part of Ontario again. Loved it.

We stayed at the Windemere House while on a vacation to visit family. Lots to do for young and old or simply relax on an adirondack chair on the front lawn and enjoy the view of the beautiful lake. The hotel has canoe or kayak for you to enjoy exploring the lake. Small beach area and lake swim area with picnic tables for a great picnic. Pool, hot tub and sauna were great fun. Pickleball and lots of other activities available for all ages. We all, including our nephews had a great time. Buffet breakfast that we enjoyed on their large covered veranda was an excellent way to start our day. Such a beatiful resort in the Muskoka area.
