The hotel was good and the amenities like spa (sauna, hot and cold pool, steam room etc) was good. We enjoyed plunging into the hot tub and cold pool a lot. Though the Sauna took a long time and we should have run it for 2 hours to get it hot on cold -15 C day. The staff were excellent, especially Kelly at the front desk who helped us a lot. We only got the buffet breakfast only one day of the 3 day stay, but the limited a-la-carte menu was also good. Though the resort fee was a bit high, the service provided was great. Did not try the food or drinks in the pub or the restaurant (which only opened, after a long halt, the day before we left), Only major complain I had was noisy guests who turned up the day before we were leaving. They were in the next room and the group was talking really loudly and we got woken up around midnight and in spite of asking them politely to reduce their noise levels, they persisted for another 15 mins until 12:30, I tried to reach the front desk, but no one picked up the call.

The service was great but on Expedia it says everything was open including the spa and restaurants. When we got there nothing was open. No spa only pub food. This was disappointing for a romantic weekend.

Extremely beautiful property with lots to do. I wish there was an area for guests to be closer to the water as that is the whole point to go to Muskoka (i.e. a dock with chairs etc.).

Trade Market was a disappointment
The entire expo was great and we would definitely go back. The only thing I did not like was that I had a fever and had to buy Advil from their “Trade Market shop”. Normally I bring it with me. They charged us $18 for a small bottle of Advil. That bottle is about $6-$7 in stores. I found that a major ripoff. I’d still go to stay there but bring my own Advil or go to the town to buy anything I need.
