Muskoka Bay Resort

Loved the 1 bedroom loft! Immaculately cleaned. The unit had all the comforts of home. Very tastefully decorated. So quiet. Only 1 complaint, the TV in the primary bedroom would not connect to the internet, so we could not watch it. Would definitely come back and we are in Sept! Looking forward to a longer stay.

This is actually our second time at Muskoka Bay, our first time was in November 2023. Muskoka Bay is a very basic hotel with very spacious suites. Check in is always quick and efficient, front desk is always helpful. We stayed in a one bedroom every time. It's perfect size for 2 people but might be tight with kids. There's only really enough room for the bed in the bedroom but you you are not really supposed to spend too much time in the rooms. We stayed 2 nights each time, and there's no daily housekeeping service which is fine for a weekend trip. The rooms are well appointed and clean, and a call down to the front desk will always get you prompt service for whatever you need. The kitchenette is well appointed, there is a microwave, stove and a small oven. However, there are no spices or condiments so if you plan on cooking, you need to bring all your seasoning but they have all the equipment. They provide coffee pods but we never find it enough for the 2 nights we stay. The first time we came, we used it as a base to do some hiking so we did not take advantage of any of the amenities. This time, we came on Family Day long weekend and there were many activities however, they were all full quickly (not the fault of the hotel). The annoying thing about the hotel is that there are no amenities in the building. Everything else is in the restaurant/amenity building which is not a far walk but it is a little bit inconvenient as there's nowhere to go except your room. We went to the pro shop to borrow the snow shoes and that was a lot of fun. The staff were great and it was fairly easy to grab the equipment. There was a nice trail that we went during the snowstorm so it was a lot of fun. The skating rink looked pretty small but probably great for young kids. We did not get a chance to use the sauna since it was all booked up. There's no other facilities within the gym facility, just the gym area. The restaurant is very good, I wish there was a small coffee shop or even somewhere to buy some snacks or drinks in the actual hotel would be nice. The hotel is fine but the amenities are a little bit lacking. It's really more of a residence.
