"Stay away from this place! Awful experience with checking in. The person in the office kept asking if I was someone else despite holding my ID in her hand with my name on it. Hotel stated I didn’t have a reservation so I had to show her my hotels.com app and then she gave me a key to the room. I was unable to properly communicate with the person due to a language barrier. Upon entering the room, it was dusty and extremely outdated with damage to some of the furniture. The carpet was stained and didn’t appear to have been vacuumed. The room was freezing. We were unable to locate a thermostat but there was a space heater and an electric fireplace in the room. I turned those on but then the electricity went out. When I went to the office to let the hotel know, there was a sign posted stating the office is closed for an hour. Without being able to turn on any heat (it was in the 40s that day) and having no lights, we decided to leave and request a refund. The hotel lied to the hotels.com representative and stated we never checked in so I have not received the refund. "

"Room was clean. Bed was good. Breakfast was good. Staff were friendly. Location probably looks better once trees and shrubs start leafing out. OK for a retro motel with 60's or 70's vibe."

"Terrific hotel"

"The free breakfast was very good. Parking was convenient and safe. The saltwater swimming pool was fantastic"

"This property is incredible! Hotel has it all. Big wonderful well appointed rooms, great restaurants and amazing service. At night there are often deer roaming around. The history of the property is also fascinating to learn about. Can’t wait to stay again. "

"The wood stove and heat pump kept the place warm and cozy. Beautiful spot on the river. Open concept cabin with a lot of the items already there, so less to pack. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and helpful. We would go back in the summer next time and try out the kayaks."

"We had a beautiful stay! The cottage is clean, comfortable and well situated to enjoy the lake view from your muskoka chairs on the waterfront deck. Karen and Stew are excellent hosts who have anticipated their guests' every need. We appreciated all the small touches such as coffee and snacks. The kitchen is well supplied and very functional. We were cozy and warm here during a beautiful fall weekend. And there's lots to do see and do in the surrounding area. We'll be returning."

"We left it better than we got it. Thanks for the hospitality. "

"Lovely place in a beautiful area. Little beach, boat dock and kids playground short walk away. We really enjoyed our stay. "
