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.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was great, close to downtown Port Carling and right on a beautiful lakefront property. The dining experience was good overall, with substantial food, but could have been improved with higher-quality options. The facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel is nestled in a beautiful location right by Lake Joseph, offering serene and stunning scenery. The service was exceptional, with kind and helpful staff. The dining experience was delicious, offering great value for money with a variety of options. However, the rooms were a bit old and damp and lacked space for toiletries.
