My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful time at Windermere House. We began our visit with drinks on the patio, taking in the breathtaking view of Lake Rosseau. Afterwards, we wandered down to the dock, letting our feet dangle in the cool water. To pass the time, we played a few rounds of cornhole—just one of the many games the resort has readily available—before enjoying a delicious dinner on the veranda. The evening ended perfectly with a session in the barrel saunas, followed by a magical swim under the stars in the heated outdoor pool. The next morning, we treated ourselves to a fantastic buffet breakfast, complete with a wide assortment of fresh fruit, pastries, and the classic bacon, eggs, and sausage. Energized, we took the Windermere House kayaks out for a peaceful paddle around Wellesley and Florence Islands. We wrapped up our stay with a pint on the patio of the Windermere Pub. We’ll definitely be returning in the fall to take in the spectacular seasonal colours.

Excellent in every respect ─ except dining options

We enjoyed a wonderful 3-night stay at Windermere House. Gorgeous setting, of course, on the shore of Lake Rosseau. Very nice, well-appointed room. Great recreational offerings, all included (we availed ourselves of the swimming pool and hot tub, and took a pair of kayaks out for lovely paddle). Unusually friendly and attentive staff. Better than average complimentary breakfast buffet. Our only complaint was about the dining options. There are 2 venues: the high-end The Rosseau and the more casual Windermere Pub. Both offer beautiful indoor and outdoor settings; but both are very high-priced and offer a lot of dishes with excessively fancy ingredient lists, which offer more show than substance. Some dishes under-deliver, e.g., the pasta with "mushrooms": our servings each included a single halved mushroom. Vegetarian options are very few, vegan ones fewer. It was very difficult to find healthy food options.

Great place but for how expensive the stay was, they need to invest in new pillows. All 8 people we were with had the same experience with the pillows and didn’t sleep as a result.

The breakfast was amazing. The staff was really really good, especially the blonde pub manager. We did some canoe for hours, the activities was really fun. The only downside is that we couldn't dine in the hotel because it was full. I would think they have a few reserved spots for guests that sleeps there but, no. That was a bummer, but we decided to explore the nearby towns instead and it was great!

Our King size bed was lovely. The staff at the Lounge bar and at the Windermere Pub were fantastic- so attentive and professional and accommodating. Our complaints are as follows: One of the bedside lamps didn’t work. I asked for someone to please fix the lamp and when I checked in about the lamp, the front desk said they sent someone to the wrong room. There was a light out in the chandelier. There was a loud alarm going off in the room beside us. The pool was out of service due to ‘an accident’. The staff didn’t know where the steam room was. It was not worth the money.
