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

We stayed in Room 315, top floor, overlooking the lake. I wouldn't bother with rooms facing road or "gardens".Excellent view out of a very small window. 1 chair in the room.Very nice 2 cannonball beds queen size, ex linens and amenities. Small flat screen 31 in tv. No WiFi in room--getting 2 bars only.. They suggested I move to certain... 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

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

Highly recommend it...can't wait to go... More

Spent a night here over the long weekend in one of the suites with a balcony over the water. (Room 306). Here are my thoughts on the hotel in general. Outside ---------- - Some window frames are rotted and the building could use a good painting or cleaning - The grounds are very nice, well kept and there is lots... More

Lovely resort and fantastic location. beautiful propery great view. heated pool (not a lot of shade around the pool area).
