Property grounds and our room were nice and clean. Our main criticism was that we found the menu quite limited and somewhat overpriced considering it was “average” (3 stars) tasting food. We were expecting 4 stars for the food. Spa service was 4 stars.

Beautiful property with some of the best views in Muskoka. The trees need to be pruned back to give more rooms water views. Nice 1bedroom unit, great shallow beach for kids and deep water off the swim dock. Disappointed that the restaurant didn’t serve any breakfast, bit of a pain to go into town. Otherwise great stay!

The location is great but the standard room was very small and with no shears on the windows you have to keep the curtains closed or have everyone walking by looking into your room. Also wish there were chairs on the porch to add a seating area.

liked the view and the property in general, but some things are starting to look a bit tired. Landscaping is in need of more care and places need painting, caulking and some general repairs.

We had a lakeside view in the beaches section. There was a pool, hot tub, large beach with shallow sandy water and kayaks and canoes. Also Tennis and Pickleball court. Pretty much everything a family could enjoy on a vacation including a barbeque. My only complaint is they don't have anywhere to lock up bicycles so we had to leave ours on the bike rack attached to our vehicle. You'll have to drive to find any hiking trails.

We had a pleasant experience at the property. The property was well maintained and the facilities are good ( pool area, nice dock for reading, sauna, hot tub, etc). The room we stayed was also quite good ( spacious, clean, comfortable bed). The only thing we would not recommend is the restaurant. We found it way overpriced and the portions were way too small.

Clean - need better parking arrangement
Rooms were clean. Kitchen was well appointed. I wish I had brought salt & pepper, sugar, cream/whitener but otherwise we did not cook. We did bring some supplies with us. Town of Bracebridge was quite close (8 mins?). Bob's Bar down by the water does not open until July - oddly. Parking seemed to be reserved for all other blocks of rooms except ours (Boat House West), which caused some concern as to where to park, every time we came back to the resort from a trip. This seemed to be a easy fix - not sure why they don't do it. Rooms do not have a bidet - also, easy fix. The grounds are very nice, and lake view (from decks) is beautiful. Can't see much at all from the rooms, as there is a line of trees across the shore.

There’s a need for a bathroom by the beach and pool, especially if your room is at the boathouse. Very unacceptable. The resort should also have an option for breakfast!
