We've been searching for years, for the perfect place for us to go year after year and I'm happy to say that we've finally found it! Shamrock Lodge couldn't be in a more gorgeous location. The view of Rosseau is what Muskoka is all about. The beach is perfect, the accomodations are more than reasonable and the food is spectacular! We were there over Thanksgiving and were treated to an amazing turkey dinner. My husband, who's a pretty good eater, was done his plate when the server came by and asked if he wanted more. He was treated to a second helping, no problem. It's those little touches that turn an average place into a spectacular one. The owners knew our names within a day and everyone was more than accomodating and friendly. You better believe we'll be back and next time, we're bringing our friends! Thanks Shamrock.

I would recommend this spot to anyone and everyone. I travelled here with a group of 24 girlfriends and was more than impressed with the care and service of the Bryant Family (and Stew). The location is a dream spot in the heart of the muskokas nestled on Lake Rousseau. The view from all of the rooms were breathtaking. We enjoyed enjoyed staying at the resort so much that we cancelled a night on the town in Bracebridge; and opted to enjoy the facilities to the max! Our group created memories that will last a lifetime while staying at the Shamrock; and by far, this was one of the prettiest places I have ever stayed at in Ontario. My hat is off to the chef who created endless meals that were simply delicious. Laura and the rest of the waitresses made every meal that much more enjoyable as they served them with warmth and kindness. Stew did an amazing job of coordinating and organizing our stay - are you sure you aren't related to the Bryants?? :) Whenever any of us asked Stew for anything, his answer was "I don't have a problem with that at all". The level of comfort and trust that our group felt from the owners (Tim, Linda and Gary) was pretty unreal. If you ever need to travel to a place where you could leave your door unlocked without giving it a second thought, this is the place for you. Tim took 2 groups of us out on Pontoon boat rides for a scenic tour that was breathtaking! The nearby little town of Port Carling had some very sweet stores and boutiques that many of our girls thoroughly enjoyed. The only problem I had about my weekend away at the Shamrock Lodge was that it didn't last long enough.

This reallly is a fabulous spot. I would recommend it to anyone -- families, friends, couples, etc. In Sept 2011, 24 of us stayed in the Driftwood and the Tom O'Shanter for our annual Girls Getaway Weekend. The rooms were well kept and comfortable. The views from the rooms and the dock were beautiful. We, too, enjoyed a ride around the lake in their pontoon boat (as well as use of the paddle boats, kayaks, tennis courts, pool etc, all inclulded in the price). The food was amazing. And the staff were even more amazing. Tim, Stew, Gary, Laura (and all the staff) went out of their way to make sure our trip was enjoyable. Whatever we needed, they were happy to help us with. (Even if that meant staying up til the wee hours with us and laughing at our jokes!! You don't find that kind of hospitality everywhere!). Would definitely go back again.

This is a really great location. It's family run so has a great feel - far better and with much more character than any chain location. The staff were very nice and helpful (the owner very kindly gave us all a tour of the lake on his own boat) - anything that we asked for they were more than happy to help with. We had the whole place as it was the end of the season and we were certainly made to feel welcome - it's always a good sign when the bar staff are happy to stay up with you into the early hours of the morning! I would certainly recommend it.
