A beautiful night away!

Overall a beautiful resort! We booked very last minute as a night away from the kids so think we got the last room. It was a little musty smelling but overall the grounds, service, and food were all delightful. Great little beach for a quick dip before dinner. Live music and scenery were great. We will definitely be back with our kids!

Beautiful experience! We were unable to access our cottage due to a terrible storm, and we're lucky to get a last-minute room. The staff were so lovely and sympathetic - we're looking forward to another opportunity to stay or send friends here!

For a luxury resort the prices and the overall experience didn’t match up to international standards in our experience. The buffet was average and the rules that the staff have to follow are definitely not very gracious….NB more for special coffee or special drinks and they make sure the guests know they are doing something’ extra’ for you!! This should be seamless and gracious so that one feels relaxed and taken care of not aware of any effort on their part…!The approach is friendly but not refined and seamless as it certainly should be for a resort of this potential…!

My family and I had the great pleasure of spending part of our summer holidays at Windermere House this July, and it was everything we hoped it would be—and more. This historic resort, originally built in 1870, carries a rich legacy. Although it tragically burned down in 1996 during the filming of a movie, it was impressively rebuilt within a year to match the original design. Since then, it has been thoughtfully renovated multiple times. What you get is the best of both worlds: timeless charm with all the modern comforts. Staying here truly feels like stepping into a bygone era, yet nothing feels outdated or tired. Sitting out on the front lawn, it’s easy to imagine the many generations of guests who’ve relaxed in those same Muskoka chairs overlooking the lake for over 150 years. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. The bathroom was modern and clean, though I did notice two small drawbacks: only one sink and a shower head with a rather thin stream. Still, it functioned well and didn’t detract from the overall experience. The shared spaces in the hotel—the elegant lobby, the cozy lobby bar, the upscale Russo restaurant, and the more casual downstairs Windermere Pub—are all beautifully designed. They strike the right balance between classic country resort and stylish modern retreat. We enjoyed an exceptional dinner at Russo; both the food and service were top-notch. The Windermere Pub offers a more relaxed and affordable option, with equally great service and

We had the great pleasure of staying at Windermere House this July. Originally built in 1870 and rebuilt after a 1996 fire, the resort blends historic charm with modern comfort. It’s like stepping into the past, without sacrificing modern amenities. Sitting on the front lawn, it’s easy to imagine the guests who’ve stayed here over the last 150+ years. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and modern, though a second sink and a stronger shower stream would’ve been nice. Still, everything functioned well. Rooms are cleaned daily. We enjoyed outstanding meals at both Russo (the main restaurant) and the more casual Windermere Pub downstairs. Both offer outdoor seating and excellent service. The lobby bar is also a great spot for drinks or snacks, designed to match the hotel's classic look with updated touches. The breakfast buffet was excellent: fruit, smoked salmon, eggs, sausage, French toast, seasoned breakfast potatoes, and more. Staff were consistently friendly and helpful. The pool area was a highlight, with plenty of loungers, Muskoka chairs, and shade. We didn’t try the barrel saunas, but they looked inviting. We also enjoyed canoeing, tennis and pickleball all included at no extra cost. Kayaks and paddleboards are also offered. Our favourite spot was the veranda, perfect for relaxing with a book and taking in the stunning lake view. It’s a premium-priced resort, but worth every penny. We look forward to returning.

Our room had an air conditioner that did not work, a telephone that did not work, a mini refrigerator that was way too warm, even at the highest setting, and a toilet that broke. Management put in some temporary AC unit and a temporary refrigerator. But They would not change the room as they said everything was rented, and would not give any kind of discount for such a sub grade accommodation. The hotel itself was beautiful and so were the amenities and restaurants.
