Be careful here. 1. They overcharged us for our rooms and now have held our deposit and refuse to give it back in full, claiming we agreed to the price but we did not. We even have a receipt with the correct price, yet they are refusing to remedy. Lots of fraudulent business practices. 3. Were told we would have free beerspa access from our hotel - but we were still charged. I do not recommend this place, which is too bad. It had potential. The rooms were awful with no air conditioning heat of summer, no tables and no hair dryer.

Stayed last night for Kim Mitchell concert and was very disappointed. Paid $350 for a tiny basic basic room with not even a box of Kleenex in the room. No AC in building, room has fan though so luckily it was not hot yesterday. 2 flat pillows on bed, no chair in room, no hair dryer so bring your own, no coffee machine or mini fridge or anything like that. It’s just a bed and bathroom if that’s what you’re looking for! Should’ve just took Uber instead.

We were curious about the reopening on this iconic hotel in Bala. We were so disappointed at the very poor "update". The entry pad is still unfinished. The decor is still so very dark and even though they are trying to keep it traditional. Who needs dark red flock wallpaper!! Bar is also very poorly designed. Not welcoming from the lobby. We felt bad. Dark lobby, dark bar, and a porch that had no atmosphere at all. Sorry did not see the rooms. But this place was just not welcoming at all. I think that it could have so much more potential in a lovely Muskoka town.

We did not stay at the Inn. We just went for dinner. The menu was sparse. 4 of us had the chicken club and non of us finished it. It was cold and the chicken was dry. We had to ask for more mayo but that didn’t really help. The corn on the cob was cold. Not cool but cold. And the butter stuck on the outside. Didn’t eat it. I asked for tea and they didnt have coffee or tea at the restaurant. The fingerling potatoes were good and hot. My husband had the trout and it was good. It was to come with a sauce which he got for his last 2 mouthfuls. They need to do a lot of work before I would go back or recommend it to anyone.

They just reopened last Friday after some renovations. We went for lunch and were very disappointed!!! Food menu was very limited. Ghost Kitchen food was terrible. Toughest chicken wings we have ever had. Presentation also very limited. Poor experience and won't be back or recommend it to anyone. Place felt dirty!!!! They need to pick up their socks. Staff knew very little about the restaurant or Inn.
