Windermere House

A beautiful location at a classic luxurious resort on Muskokas lake Rosseau. The fall colours were at their peak and the resort was a good location to tour from. 2 working EV chargers, 2 more getting ready. There were a few signs of problems, with sewage smell, painting off the wall on 3rd floor, Spa closed. The quality of the food was very disappointing and overall we were disappointed in the overall experience for the high price paid for our stay.

Great property in a magnificent location. Our bedroom was large, with a comfortable four-poster bed. Supper on the terrace with the sun going down was magical. Lots of parking.

Formal dinner was too formal and exotic for our tastes, but a supper option provided an alternative.

We stayed at Windermere House in October. The property and surroundings are beautiful, with obvious attention to guest comfort and convenience. We were treated wonderfully by all staff we encountered. Had we stayed longer than two nights, we would have used more of the many recreational and comfort facilities available. As it was, we enjoyed great meals at the restaurant (best apple cheesecake I've ever had) and pub, a lovely paddle on the water, swims in the pool, sauna, and my wife had a massage at the spa. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable with superb views of the lake. There was moderate sound transfer between our room and the adjacent room, which is connected by a door between them. Our neighbors were not loud nor annoying so no issue for us during our stay. We would certainly plan another stay at WH if visiting that part of Ontario again. Loved it.

Windermere house is beautifully situated on the lake so be sure to get a lake view room. The food was good; the breakfast buffet was well stocked with our favourites. It makes for a lovely getaway to unwind and feel spoiled!

Love the year round outdoor pool and hot tub. Both were very clean and well maintained. The lake view is beautiful.

Everything was great other than the room smelled musty

quiet, restful, amazing staff and guests

A lovely place

We really enjoyed our stay

We stayed for one night after a two-hour drive from Toronto. Despite the rain on our second day, we really enjoyed our time. The resort offers plenty of amenities; we took out a canoe, relaxed in the outdoor hot tub, and used the sauna, which had a beautiful view. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which added to the experience. The following morning, we woke up at sunrise and enjoyed the lake view outside with complimentary coffee from the lounge. There was also a Nespresso machine in the room, which was a nice touch. That said, I wouldn’t recommend paying extra for a lake-view room. The couches weren’t positioned to take advantage of the view, so you could only really enjoy it by standing at the window. Breakfast was excellent, with more variety than most complimentary hotel breakfasts. For dinner, we ate at the Windermere Pub, but the nachos and pizza were average at best. Unfortunately, the rainy weather meant we couldn’t try out other activities like tennis, pickleball, or biking, but overall it was still a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Visitors with dogs were allowed in the resort without leashes, both in the reception area and by the pub. It is important to consider that some people have allergies or phobias.
