Nothing negative to say. Check in was quick and friendly, the location was great for a relaxing stay, the room was relatively large, very clean, beds were very comfortable, the hot breakfast in the morning was very filling since I ate EVERYTHING. The made to order omelette is a MUST have The casual but dressy if you want O&B Restaurant... More

We arrived at Windermere House and were immediately impressed as it is situated right on Lake Rosseau. Windermere House was built in the late 1890s but after a fire in the 1990s was rebuilt to duplicate the original structure. Windermere has many niceties while maintaining the Muskoka cottage atmosphere. Our room #212 had a large walk out patio with comfortable... More

Visited Windermere House for a weekend away over the past few days. Have to say... the experience didn't match the promise. I read all the collateral about how the new(ish) owner was providing better service & a better experience. Kinda disappointed to be honest. Paper thin walls (had to move because of all the noise from the 2nd wedding in... More

Judging by reading other travellers reviews, this resort seems to have mixed ratings. My husband and myself stayed for one night on a dealfind coupon, paying less than half the regular rate. I am glad that we did not pay full price. Our room #323, was next to the spa, within a dormer. The day we arrived was definitely not... More

Stayed at the Windermere house for a wedding this past weekend. I have lived in northern Ontario for a long time but never visited, but had heard about the place a lot. The pictures and the scenery were great so, as I operate a boutique hotel myself, was looking forward to being pampered myself. I arrived in pouring rain and... More
