We loved our stay at this property! The staff are all so nice! We enjoyed the pool, hot tub and saunas. The breakfast on the deck was excellent! The beach is small, but we enjoyed swimming at the dock and using the boats. We will definitely return!

We had such a great time at Windermere House! The location is absolutely beautiful—right on Lake Rosseau with incredible views, especially at sunset. It feels peaceful and private, but still has a lot going on if you want to explore. The hotel has this really charming, old-school Muskoka vibe but with all the modern touches you’d want. Our room was super clean, cozy, and comfortable. We spent a lot of time out on the front lawn and veranda just relaxing and soaking up the view. The staff were all super friendly and helpful, and the food at the restaurant was seriously good. There’s lots to do in the area too—boating, paddleboarding, cute little shops nearby. Overall, it was the perfect mix of chill and fun. We will definitely be back!

Overall, our stay was good. The staff were pleasant and helpful where they could be. We enjoyed the amenities; in particular, the kayaking, sauna, and hot tub (when there weren't children in it!). Our room was clean, but it definitely could use a refresh. We had issues on our second day with the water in our room going out completely 3x (1x mid-shower!). We reported it each time and were only told that they were upgrading the system or that the hotel was full...neither was a very good explanation. No compensation was offered.

Nice property for a quiet relaxing break. Very good breakfast and the pub on site was excellent. However we booked a room with a lake view and balcony but were given a very inferior small room overlooking the back of the hotel. We pointed out that this was not as booked and were told there was no room available. We were shown to another larger room with no balcony. We checked both Expedia and the hotels own website and there was still a room of the type booked available. Back to reception armed with the information and within an hour a room was found by the manager. A very frustrating check-in for an otherwise nice stay.

lovely room but water became cold when showering, really enjoyed the pool w/ beautiful view. The breakfast was wonderful. Found the fish n chips to be quite mediocre for expensive price paid. Batter too thick and bland and chips mediocre. Patio a lovely area to sit but in my opinion was ruined by the loud music. Would have preferred to have the tranquility of space to enjoy view. Beautiful place.
