Windermere House

Windermere House

8/10 Good
"Beautiful old-fashioned property by the lake. Friendly staff and comfortable rooms. I did not like the breakfast, comprised in the price of the room. At that price (about 400$ a night) I'd like better coffee and fresh non-processed eggs. There was no omelette, and no soft boiled eggs. The potatoes were dry and the sausage unsavoury. What is the 49$ "property fee" for? To conclude, a beautiful property with friendly staff who need to improve the quality of breakfast."

"The property has a great location by the lake and near a hiking trail. There are several restaurants and shops at walking distance and more within a short drive. The only thing that needed improvement might be the breakfast buffet layout. The space was quite narrow and many of the guests were bumping on one another."

"I cannot thank Manager Gonzalez and her incredible staff enough for everything they did for me during my vacation in Bracebridge. I found myself in an emergency situation, and the team here immediately stepped up to help. They went above and beyond to accommodate me and ensure I had a safe, secure, and comfortable place to stay. In a stressful moment, their professionalism, warmth, and quick actions made all the difference. Manager Gonzalez leads an amazing team, and they deserve all the recognition in the world. If you want to stay at a place that truly cares about its guests, this is it. Thank you all so much!"

"We have never stayed in a cottage before so our expectations may have been different from others. We have camped in a RV for decades plus we have stayed in hotels and resorts before. I guess we weren’t sure what to expect, for example we thought someone might show up to tidy the place or at least ask if we needed anything. We had to go to the office but that was no big deal. I wanted to make sure my wife did not have to do too much so we had to drive about 15 minutes into Huntsville to find some restaurants which I knew in advance. Unfortunately Huntsville had some major construction work going on but we eventually found our way around. And before you say that we should have been prepared to cook and eat in the cottage i just wanted an experience somewhere between camping and staying at a hotel so yes i knew what we were getting ourselves into. I would definitely go back but earlier in the year so the temperature would be better. The place is located on a lake and only about a 40 minute drive to Algonquin provincial park where we spent a day at. Arrowhead provincial park is only a short drive north of Huntsville so the location of this place was spot on."
