Our stay at Portage Inn was one of the outstanding highlights of a tour of southern Ontario. The house itself has a lovely feel, with fascinating, inviting corners at every turn, and the setting, with its beautiful lake view, is unforgettable. It is, however, the presence of Sid and Nancy that gives the place its life: what an engaging pair... More

The owners, Nancy & Sid, their gracious and genuine hospitality, the drop-dead gorgeous Muskoka setting and the warm appeal of the inviting vintage decor all played a large part in making our wedding at the Portage Inn the best night of our lives. Our 120 guests, many of whom are seasoned travelers and many of whom are seasoned locals, were... More

Room and bed were excellent, with a nice lake view. The breakfast was outstanding, they even modified their normal breakfast to our liking (eggs over easy & pea meal bacon). We even used the canoe and paddled the lake. The owners were truly outstanding. They did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable, including a golf cart tour of... More

My fiance and I enjoyed our stay at Portage Inn over the long Easter weekend. The inn had a rustic feel to it with all the modern comforts. The Great Room has two fireplaces, wooden tables and chairs, a bar and even a piano! There's a classic pool table for guests to play too. My favourite thing was sitting by... More

Although I'm a tad late in my review of our AMAZING experience at Portage Inn, I wanted to make sure this gem and lovely hosts, received the recognition they deserve. Back in the first week of January over the holidays, I was looking for a quaint winter escape for myself, my son (age 10) and niece (age 13). We are... More

No hesitation in recommending the Portage Inn for its historic charm, hospitality and atmosphere. We stayed at the Inn in a delightful period room. Our hosts were friendly & engaging and, as an added bonus, their literary background is fascinating. We look foward to a return visit, as it's also very convenient - just nicely out of town, but close... More

I recently stayed in the upper part of the Chalet at the Portage Inn near Huntsville with a group of friends. This is a self contained cottage type accommodation with 3 bedrooms, a living room area, full kitchen, dining room and 1 1/2 baths. There is a balcony, which overlooks beautiful Peninsula Lake. Our dogs were very welcome and the... More

We stayed at the cottages on the property. They were clean, well appointed, nicely furnished and decorated, equipped with everything we needed. The view of the lake was wonderful. The hosts went out of their way to accomodate us and show us the property and Inn. I would reccomend the Inn for couples and the cottages are great for families.... More

I recently stayed at the portage inn before heading into the Algonquin backcountry. Our host, Sydney, was helpful and friendly (his wife was out of town). The inn is beautiful, and the large grounds include a tennis court, basketball net, beach volleyball court, as well as water access with available watercraft (kayaks, canoes, sailboat, paddleboat). Inside, the common Great Room... More
