Really good Culinary Experience

“During my stay, I had the pleasure of enjoying both lunch and dinner at the resort. The food was excellent, from the delicious lunch I had on the lawn to the fantastic dinner where my boyfriend requested a special dish not on the menu, and the chef readily accommodated him. The quality of the meals exceeded my expectations and truly highlighted the culinary skills on offer.” view full review

Cozy and Comfortable Rooms

“I stayed in a lovely room in the Cedarwood building that was exceptionally clean and spacious. The comfortable bed made it hard to leave the room in the morning! I also appreciated the privacy offered by the housekeeping rooms on either side. Although the decor had a traditional cottage feel, it suited the location perfectly, making my stay feel warm and cute.” view full review

Relaxing Beach Area

“I spent numerous hours relaxing at the beautiful sandy beach area. It was clean and inviting, complete with lounge chairs to soak up the sun. The water was warm and clear, perfect for swimming or simply enjoying the serene views. The availability of canoes, paddleboards, and kayaks added to the leisure activities, making my stay all the more enjoyable.” view full review

Charming Atmosphere

“The atmosphere at the resort contributed greatly to my relaxation. There were many serene outdoor seating areas surrounded by tall, mature trees, where I spent time reading and soaking up the tranquility. The firepit near the main building was a lovely touch for social gatherings, offering a cozy place to unwind after a day of activities.” view full review

I had a wonderful stay at the resort, which offers a rustic Muskoka vibe with excellent food and great amenities. The staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the location by Lake Joe is simply stunning.

The Sherwood Inn is a quaint gem with a charming rustic vibe, nestled on the shores of Lake Joseph, perfect for a peaceful getaway. While the rooms are spacious and comfortable, they definitely show signs of wear and could use some updates. The dining experience was enjoyable but slightly overpriced, particularly for dinner. The beach area is lovely, with a range of water activities available, though some maintenance could enhance the overall experience.

Our stay in the Muskoka area Inn was delightful, particularly with the stunning views of the autumn maple leaves and the cozy room that featured a fireplace. While the hiking trails and four-course dinner were impressive, the service left room for improvement, especially regarding the dining experience where one dish fell short. Overall, we enjoyed our time, but a few elements could elevate the experience.
