Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms, although lacking smart TVs for Netflix, were still lovely with fabulous bedding and a great bed. The service from Christina and Alex was exceptional, as they were so kind and helpful, ensuring a traditional and relaxing Muskoka Lodge atmosphere. The location right on beautiful Lake Joseph was breathtaking, offering romantic views and a close proximity to downtown Port Carling. The dining experience, while lunch was better than dinner, was satisfactory with substantial meals. The facilities were well-equipped and enjoyable.
The hotel is set in a lovely location on Lake Joseph, offering a serene setting and a direct view of the lake. The rooms, though slightly small, are nice and clean with a comfortable bed. The service was very friendly and helpful, offering free samples and assistance throughout. The dining, while overpriced, could use higher quality food. Overall, a nice stay but with room for improvement in some areas.
