Lovely lake and setting! hotel could use a refresh
Pros:

Beautiful setting, very peaceful and feels secluded. The beach and lake are gorgeous and loved the water sports and the fact they’re included in the price. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and nice.

Cons:

Overall I would say the rooms and the property are a little run down. As soon as you walk in to the reception area all the leaflets with different excursions etc are a mess, not the best first impression. The staff didn’t mention that bottled water at the bar was free and didn’t share how to use the bikes until we asked. The breakfast really wasn’t great either - I’d definitely recommend skipping and going somewhere in Bala or Port Carling instead.

My eldest grandson said " Gramma I never want to leave here " Sums it up for all of us.
Pros:

Staff service was excellent - in spite of facing a challenge one evening. Meals were excellent. Beach toys equipment provided were excellent. Weather was perfect. Location and ambiance amazing. Old Muskoka at it's best.

Cons:

Mix up on the room my daughter had with my 3 grandchildren. Were told they needed to check out. Caused needless stress - confusion with front desk. 2. Having to climb stairs to room with luggage - a struggle with 3 young children 3. Power outage so meal was delayed - STAFF were excellent 4. Bikes for grandchildren but no helmets.

Value - for Lake Joe location and close proximity to Port Carling worth a short stay.
Pros:

Quintessential Muskoka - beautiful scenery - easy to find - close to Port Carling - rooms (2) both very clean and comfortable - large newly updated bathrooms- amazing shower with hot water - lots of parking - helpful and friendly staff - nice beach with chairs and watercraft

Cons:

It’s great value but a little tired here and there but easily acceptable for value. Well worth the price to be on beautiful Lake Joe.

Lounge Food Review.
Pros:

Went to the lounge on a rainy Sunday evening for dinner on reco from neighbour. Was very under whelming. Ordered appt Caesar salad - way too much dressing and tiny for $20. Chicken bowl was small for price - taste was ok, but again not anything to write home about. Smash burger and brisket sandwich better value. Save your $$ and go to Bala Falls Pub or Long House on the reserve or Clear Lake Brewing. Won’t be going back.

Cons:

The hotel has a good location, but there were some problems. First, the air conditioning vent in the room was broken, the airflow couldn't be adjusted, and the cold air blew directly onto the head of the bed. The bedside lamp was also broken. We had dinner at the restaurant that evening, and the staff were very rude. Because they were about to close for the day, it took 15 minutes for someone to take our order, and we waited half an hour to eat. We stayed in room 613 for one night and were checking out at 11 am the next day. The staff said there would be a hidden fee of $30. I booked through Booking.com, and the $352 double room price already included everything; I don't think there should be any hidden fees.
