We came for our 5th anniversary celebration. The hotel had very warm and welcoming employees. The rooms overlooking the lake were beautiful. The grounds were well maintained and it was great having access to onsite hiking trails, the kayaks and canoe for no extra cost. The restaurant was ok. It was really great to sit on the dock or enjoy the fire pit with marshmallows provided by the hotel. This was a lovely summer getaway!

This place was a solid 4 stars, though the beautiful grounds, beach, and scenery deserve 5 stars. This is a heritage property and though there is a dated feeling to the furnishings, we found it gave a charming atmosphere and a nice throwback as a rustic northern resort. The cottages and rooms are simple and not modern, but the cost of staying here is pretty reasonable for such a spectacular location on the breathtaking Lake Joe. Other places nearby would have been $500 more for our 3 night stay. The restaurant food was pricey, but we find that's everywhere in Muskoka these days. Our meals were creative and tasty, and still significantly cheaper with better service than a "fine dining" restaurant meal we had in Port Carling. There was live music on the patio and we enjoyed our meal with great entertainment on a warm night as the sun set over the lake. We were invited to stay to enjoy the musician's second set, then had a stroll around the property, enjoying the view from Muskoka chairs at dusk. Sat at the fire pit after dark and the smell of the firewood in the smoker by the kitchen was amazing. Free coffee in the lobby each morning and we'd brought our own local pastries for breakfast so we didn't try their morning buffet. We kept simple charcuterie lunches in our mini fridge to have before relaxing on the sandy beach and floating in the warm water of the bay on pool noodles all afternoon. Good towel service, and lots of pickleball and kayak/ paddleboarding going on.
