I had a wonderful experience at this resort, enjoying beautiful surroundings and a great value for money. The setting was absolutely picturesque with lovely views of Lake Joseph, and I appreciated the cozy feel of the accommodations. However, there were some drawbacks, particularly with the dining options and the maintenance of some facilities, which could have been better.

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. However, the breakfast options have changed recently, and I missed the previous full-service experience. Still, this resort provides great overall value for a lovely getaway.

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.
