A lovely hotel and family-friendly condo resort just between Gravenhurst and Bracebridge on the South-East edge of Lake Muskoka with many amenities, including beach, pool, gym, golf course, rental boats, etc but no spa.

Hotel is modern, well-designed and recently updated so rooms are brand-new and in excellent condition. Gorgeous big bathrooms with huge tub and oversized rain shower-head.

One side of hotel offers lake-views, while the other side views the parking lot and resort. Ask for a higher floor with a lake view and balcony for a perfect Muskoka experience at night. Lower level lake-side rooms are blocked by trees.

On the other side of the resort, a 5 minute walk down the hill, is a sandy beach with recliner deck chairs that is maintained daily and pool and kid s splash pool are in excellent shape and central location with a full-time attendant that are also cleaned daily.

The on-site restaurant, also on the other side of the resort about a 5 minute walk, is The Boathouse, a gorgeous Lake Muskoka setting with a wrap-around deck and world-class food. The interior of the restaurant is somewhat sparse and no real real ambiance or decor which is strange because it could be so stylish with a little bit of colour and a few Muskoka decor touches... But the views from the outside deck of the docks, boats & lake are fantastic, so ask for a table outside with a heater as the mornings and evenings can be somewhat chilly. The food and service is EXCELLENT... every breakfast and dinner were exceptional.

Extremely friendly & helpful staff & countless daily activities available for all ages and evening bonfires by the beach.

Cons: Parking is somewhat limited and a couple of times we had trouble finding a parking spot. Not a great setting for anyone with mobility issues due to the steep hill and need for walking up and down hills and stairs to get to the restaurant, beach or pool. Many children running around so if you re in search of adults only look elsewhere.

Overall, quite expensive but that s Muskoka for you!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
