Great check in and very happy with our room overlooking the lake.

The perfect place for spending NY or just a winter getaway. Very nice and clean resort with a relaxing sauna, steam sauna and outdoors hot tub. The suite had a fireplace right beside the snowy balcony which felt very cozy. The receptionist was very friendly. I would definitely come back.

The room had dead flies all over when we arrived. Had to call the desk to get the room recleaned

Couch is uncomfortable, however the bed was great. Clean, cozy and quiet.

Location, the property is very well maintained, people are very professional and helpful. Grwat experience, be back for sure. Thank you.

The treetop 3 bedroom villa was spacious and beautiful

Lovely stay in a well appointed apartment.

My boyfriend and I loved everything about this mini weekend getaway! Very quiet and peaceful, mind you it was the off-season, the restaurant was very good we didn’t have to leave the property all weekend. The rooms were very clean/spacious and cozy. We will definitely be back!

The rooms were absolutely immaculate and we enjoyed our stay SO much - we did not want to go back home!! We’ll definitely come again!! Everything is beautiful there!!!!

This is our second weekend stay at Touchstone in Muskoka and enjoyed staying at the property again. Its in a fairly remote location on lake Muskoka so its quiet and serene, an excellent place to get away from city life. There are several outdoor activities even in winter time like pond hockey, snowshoeing, fat bikes etc. Even more options in the summer I'm sure. There is a spa and restaurant on site as well. The condo style units we stayed at have all the amenities of home, even a washer and dryer. Nice little balcony facing the beach on the lake with a BBQ which is nice. The only gripes we had while staying there were, very slow wifi. Streaming a movie at night was impossible. Had to use my mobile data from my phone and worked perfectly after. Still, if you dont have unlimited data, that isn't an option and you would have to watch local tv. The second was parking. They need to assign parking spots for customers so there isn't a battle over parking. There were several times we left for a coffee, bite to eat and activities and came back to our spot stolen and all parking spots filled. This had  us parking at a different beachhouse and had to trek through the snow to get back to our room. Lastly, on check-in they tell you there is no smoking anywhere on the property. Inexcusable to not provide smokers a spot to smoke safely. I had to stand on the side of a road, next to the entrance, with vehicles flying by at 80km/h . Otherwise a pleasant place to spend a romantic weekend.

The resort has amenities of similar properties I have experienced and ample number of BBQs. The unit is spacious but lacks clothes storage drawers. The most critical note is that of safety; lack of property signage, lack of outdoor pedestrian lighting at night and for a new building, it is surprising that safety bars for the shower/tub enclosure are not provided. Further, the tub is slippery and lacks the liquid soap/shampoo dispenser.

We stayed at a standard room and enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and had a cute little fireplace. The only small issue was that the coffee maker and the kettle weren’t clean so we couldn’t use them. The lake and the surroundings were beautiful and were at walking distance from our room. Front desk was friendly too. Overall, for the price we paid, we think that this place is worth and we definitely recommend it.

Was given a complimentary upgrade upon arrival to a suite which was excellent except it had steep stairs and I was travelling with an elderly person. Loved the upgrade but should have been told at the time about the stairs. Was ok, we made it work. Beach area is lovely with a very large clear view of the lake, very quiet and very much enjoyed sunrise and sunset sitting on Muskoka chairs on the dock. Could do a better job of removing spider webs at beach house entrance, and the weeds and bird droppings around the beach and docks, there was no remote for the bedroom tv or the gas fireplace, neither of which we used but were perplexed as to where they could be. Beautiful, quiet setting, easy good highway driving to both Port Carling and Bracebridge. Golf course across the street we did not use but it is just beautiful, pristine!  Very much enjoyed this property and would return.

Beautiful property with some of the best views in Muskoka. The trees need to be pruned back to give more rooms water views. Nice 1bedroom unit, great shallow beach for kids and deep water off the swim dock. Disappointed that the restaurant didn’t serve any breakfast, bit of a pain to go into town. Otherwise great stay!

We had a lakeside view in the beaches section. There was a pool, hot tub, large beach with shallow sandy water and kayaks and canoes. Also Tennis and Pickleball court. Pretty much everything a family could enjoy on a vacation including a barbeque. My only complaint is they don't have anywhere to lock up bicycles so we had to leave ours on the bike rack attached to our vehicle. You'll have to drive to find any hiking trails.

We had a pleasant experience at the property. The property was well maintained and the facilities are good ( pool area, nice dock for reading, sauna, hot tub, etc). The room we stayed was also quite good ( spacious, clean, comfortable bed). The only thing we would not recommend is the restaurant. We found it way overpriced and the portions were way too small.

Rooms were clean.  Kitchen was well appointed.  I wish I had brought salt & pepper, sugar, cream/whitener but otherwise we did not cook.  We did bring some supplies with us.  Town of Bracebridge was quite close (8 mins?).  Bob's Bar down by the water does not open until July - oddly.  Parking seemed to be reserved for all other blocks of rooms except ours (Boat House West), which caused some concern as to where to park, every time we came back to the resort from a trip.  This seemed to be a easy fix - not sure why they don't do it.  Rooms do not have a bidet - also, easy fix.  The grounds are very nice, and lake view (from decks) is beautiful.  Can't see much at all from the rooms, as there is a line of trees across the shore.

Clean - need better parking arrangement

We visited in May 2024 when the weather was still a bit cool. It wasn't busy at all; there were only five cars in the parking lot. The resort has a restaurant with an expensive dining experience, but the food was worth it. However, visiting in July might be a different story. We loved the gym, and there were only two of us using it at that time.

Wow!  This place had a fantastic view from the deck facing the lake.  The sun set behind us, illuminating the cottages on the lake.  We had a beach with a dock and 4 chairs, as well as an outdoor pool (not yet open as of May long weekend).  Still quiet at this time, but I’m sure would be busy with families in the summer.  Suite cam with many amenities, comfy.  We had dinner at Touchstone grill and were quite pleased.  We we able to sit on the deck and enjoy the views from there.  Overall, it was quite a nice stay for 2 nights and had lovely conversations with other guests.  Fully recommend.  Cheers!
