The location is lovely; nice view of the beautiful lake. Our room was right on the water. It was quiet (but might be because it was pre-season), but it was nice for sleeping. The room was, large clean and well-appointed. While it wasn’t spanking new, there was a small kitchenette, fridge, toaster, corkscrew, coffee maker, coffee, tea, full dish set, dish soap, microwave, kettle, dustpan/broom, hairdryer, dishcloth, plenty of facecloths, towels, shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, soap, extra toilet paper. There was a small seating area next to the kitchenette with a high-top table and 3 chairs, a small sofa, an armchair, a smart tv, wifi, a DVD player, A/C & heating. The couch was a double pull-out there were extra pillows and blanket in the closet. The bedroom was spacious had a large bed, dresser, 2 nightstands with lamps and a rocking chair. There were also a couple of closets with 2 robes in it on. The bathroom was large and clean with a deep tub/shower and wide counter and bright lighting. There was a screened-in front mudroom type area, and a small front deck with a small cafe set on it as well as 3 Muskoka chairs a few meters in front of the room that looked out onto the water. There was a small stream running by our building and a series of decks joined around the lakefront. The front board walk wrapped around the other buildings and came around the front of the restaurants and pool area. There were rows of chaise lounges on the lower deck and stairs leading up to the pool with outdoor seatings areas and what looked to be an outdoor bar that likely is open in the busy season. The pool area was quiet and clean warmer than the lake. The grounds are nice, some landscaping, but overall feels like you’re in the woods. The main reception building is newer, with bags of complementary ice, snacks for sale (ice cream bars, drinks, chips, candy), some health/beauty items, a bathroom, some merch and a shelf with free DVDs on it.

The place could use a couple of updates/renovations; just on some of the things that wear over time, or date with the passing years - especially in the woods. But nothing major: the bugs were bad, but that’s just the way it is this time of year in Muskoka. For families with young children, it would be nice If there was more of a beach area, but again, the pool is great for them.

We loved the water park for our kids. They had endless fun! We really enjoyed the laid back, family friendly environment and our kids met plenty of friends to play with. The beds were extremely comfortable which is a game changer for future travel to Rocky Crest. We will definitely be returning next summer.

We did not like the large group of friends that were staying at the resort during the time we were. They were loud and very over bearing in the common areas; playing music loudly so we couldn’t even have a conversation while relaxing in the dock. They acted like they owned the place, we couldn’t believe the nerve of them. We wished there was staff from Rocky Crest monitoring this behaviour. We didn’t see anyone in sight. We were also not the only people who found this extremely disrespectful.

Property was beautiful and well kept. Pool cleaned daily and the abundance of water activities was awesome. Our kids did not leave the lake all weekend!

They could use a bigger fire pit or set a time limit. We never got to do snores with the kids. People sat down both days and hogged the 6 or 7 chairs and wouldn’t move. Our kids never got a chance to get in to make them.

- club house, pool area, restaurant, golf course

The condo/ hotel architecture is out of place in the rustic setting. The building belongs in the downtown of a big city. There was anobvious lack of communication between the hotel, restaurant and other guest services. When I made certain requests at the front desk, I was told they would be looked after but the requests were never passed on. My complaint about an annoying, constant beeping sound from the next room was ignored. The noise finally stopped after someone had checked into that unit. I think the fridge door had been left open.

Location is excellent. Comfortable suites. Beautiful property and waterside activities. Good food and beverage amenities. Friendly and helpful staff.

It’s hard to find anything not to like. There were a couple of small negatives about the room, which were specific to Room 74. - The loft bedroom was very dim with only one bedside lamp for the entire open floor. A couple more lamps are needed. - There was a wasp nest in the exterior window frame and three wasps found their way into the room including the bed. We informed staff who indicated they would take care of the nest. - The bed frame was loose and very squeaky. - A smart TV with Netflix for the bedroom would also have been more convenient.

We liked the facilities of the pool and beach with beach towels and chairs available at all times. Also, we liked the two-bedroom suite which was spacy and cosy. The Golf Clubhouse was a delightful place to enjoy our lunches and dinners. The parking available was plentiful and accessible.

We would have loved was to have some more choices of fresh foods on the menu, and not only "fried and finger foods". The fact that only a breakfast buffet for a steep $ 18.95 was available does not satisfy the guests. There should have been some ala carte breakfast items available. We experienced some sad moments where the servers were so overwhelmed that people sat at dirty tables, and tables and floors were not cleaned immediately.

The food was excellent, a little pricey, but delicious.

The water inflatables were not yet in the water which was a little disappointing, however, there were lots of other water activities and equipment to keep young and older youth active and happy.

Our suite was clean and modern and had gorgeous views over lake. Loved that it’s dog friendly. Great water play centre for kids. On the Friday they opened Windows fine dine restaurant. It has beautiful views over the lake. Food was excellent. First class.

- Hot tub that was advertised was under construction - Pool wasn’t heated as advertised and was filthy and cloudy - Advertised breakfast till 10. At 9:35 am the staff at Bayside restaurant told us breakfast was over. - Ribs dinner horrible and tough. - Access to chalet was down 3 flights of stairs, down an embankment with no railings and then across rocky terrain. Dangerous for seniors over 70. - The place advertised 3 restaurants open for takeout or patio. Only One was open until Friday when Ontario opened inside dining. Resort is very expensive for what they offered. Bayside restaurant was overpriced. No food included, not even breakfast. No supplies or restaurants within 12 km to buy food or dine out. Make sure to bring enough for family.

There were things closed because of covid but there seemed to still be enough to do. We had a puppy with us and loved that we were able to take her. The children played for hours on the water equipment and looked to be having a wonderful time. Staff was very friendly and helpful. A beautiful lake.

We’re in our 70’s and had a lovely premium one bedroom facing the lake. We were first told we had to carry all our stuff down this steep, dirt path with rocks and tree roots. Impossible and dangerous. Then we found stairs, several flights and had to carry dog kennel, cooler, suitcases, etc. It was quite a workout. There was a road that the lake equipment workers used every day and parked a golf cart in front of our room. We thought it would be more reasonable to allow people to bring luggage that way.

Location. Restaurant food.

No outdoor comfortable seating near your room or in common areas. Windows need cleaning… regularly.
