Holiday Homes in Lake of Bays

"After stumbling across Windermere while searching "last minute hotel deals" on New years Day 2026, we jumped on the much needed opportunity to sneak away for the night. And....we booked again 3 months later ❤️ Both times we booked the standard garden view King rooms and both times we were upgraded to Lakeview room 322 with balcony. I don't know why, but we are so grateful as the view is stunning. We watched snow falling over the lake, ice fisherman hauling in their catch, deer grazing on the Hotel property and surroundings, the gas fireplace with Muskoka chairs, and the hot tub/pool/sauna area. The room is spacious, clean and equipped with everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Beds and pillows were perfect for us. Bathroom was a standard bathroom. It has a jetted tub, but the jets didn't work...no biggie as we spent much of our time in the hot tub to soak our tired bones.

"The room was clean and the staff very polite"

"Resort is going down. Not enough stuff, problems with bookings. Amnesties are not clean. Renovations didn’t really help.."

"No. Food’s in the hotel "

"Clean room, nice view"

"The view is incredible. The cottage is charming, especially when the wood fireplace is roaring. There were lots of games to play, the kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and pots and pans. Steve was great to communicate with. Bring hand towels and as well as bath towels."

"The staff was very friendly also in greeting my loving pet, and generally were very professional and accommodating, especially Julie who even showed an extra effort. About the pool, it was just a total bust and extremely disappointing. "

"The breakfast was not that great. Coffee was not fresh, eggs were terrible. There was yogurt and bread though,"
