Windermere House offers a charming Muskoka experience with beautiful views, but the service is lacking and the facilities need improvement. The rooms are somewhat dated and could benefit from better maintenance. While the dining options are good, they might not meet everyone's expectations, especially given the high price point. Overall, it has potential but falls short in many areas, making it hard to justify the expense.
