Location, lake view

The food and breakfast are excellent. The staff are excellent. The location is amazing on Lake Joseph. Only discussion item is that this place is "quaint". This is an old lodge that could use some upgrades. For some people this would be a wonderful retreat that is cute and has a lot of character. For others, it is perhaps more expensive than what they can deliver. If find it very comfortable and very cheerful. It is a bit tired and that is the big question in how people are going to relate to this. Other issue related to cost is that the price of the room is quite different than what you end up paying. This is because Canada and the province tack on so many surcharges and TOT taxes that the cost of the room increases significantly. It would be helpful when booking to try to understand exactly what the final cost might be versus just the price of the room.

Open air sauna cabinets were excellent

Great location

water access

The location is lovely; nice view of the beautiful lake. Our room was right on the water. It was quiet (but might be because it was pre-season), but it was nice for sleeping. The room was, large clean and well-appointed. While it wasn’t spanking new, there was a small kitchenette, fridge, toaster, corkscrew, coffee maker, coffee, tea, full dish set, dish soap, microwave, kettle, dustpan/broom, hairdryer, dishcloth, plenty of facecloths, towels, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, soap, extra toilet paper. There was a small seating area next to the kitchenette with a high-top table and 3 chairs, a small sofa, an armchair, a smart tv, wifi, a DVD player, A/C & heating. The couch was a double pull-out there were extra pillows and blanket in the closet. The bedroom was spacious had a large bed, dresser, 2 nightstands with lamps and a rocking chair. There were also a couple of closets with 2 robes in it on. The bathroom was large and clean with a deep tub/shower and wide counter and bright lighting. There was a screened-in front mudroom type area, and a small front deck with a small cafe set on it as well as 3 Muskoka chairs a few meters in front of the room that looked out onto the water. There was a small stream running by our building and a series of decks joined around the lakefront. The front board walk wrapped around the other buildings and came around the front of the restaurants and pool area. There were rows of chaise lounges on the lower deck and stairs leading up to the pool with outdoor seatings areas and what looked to be an outdoor bar that likely is open in the busy season. The pool area was quiet and clean warmer than the lake. The grounds are nice, some landscaping, but overall feels like you’re in the woods. The main reception building is newer, with bags of complementary ice, snacks for sale (ice cream bars, drinks, chips, candy), some health/beauty items, a bathroom, some merch and a shelf with free DVDs on it.

We loved the view every morning and how clean and well taken care of it was!
