However, there were some drawbacks, particularly with the dining options and the maintenance of some facilities, which could have been better.

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.
