Great location could be improved

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.

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!

Wow, just wow! What a wonderful and special place Windermere House is, located in a stunningly beautiful part of Canada. Our lake view balcony room was spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable with a view that you could never ever tire of seeing. All the staff were extremely friendly and the service we received was exceptional. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis, the buffet breakfast was superb and we ate each evening in the Windermere Pub, again the service and quality of food were wonderful. We feel extremely lucky to have stayed at this very fabulous hotel.
