Anyone would enjoy Walker Lake. Lots of activities. The lake is beautiful and calm. Kayaks, canoes, water boards etc. are all there for your use. But if you choose just to sit and relax at your cottage or on the dock with its amazing muskoka chairs and gazebo you can. Something for everyone. The cottage was super clean and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you need to have a great stay plus an outdoor BBQ.  Charming and peaceful area with a great view of the lake. We heard the loons every day. The owners are very friendly and considerate. Dan, the manager is a great guy. Very helpful and informative.  It was like a home away from home. Would like to return for sure. Thank you for giving us the peace and quiet so needed. It was wonderful!

GREAT PLACE FOR EVERYONE!!!

We loved the quiet beauty of Walker Lake Resort! We stayed at  Cedar Cottage. The cottage was very clean and newly renovated, the view of the lake was spectacular, which provided us with a very tranquil, wonderful rest. At night we enjoyed gathering around the fire pit with other cottagers.  There is also a lot to be said about the kindness and hospitality of the management. They treat you very well and work hard to make your stay pleasant. When my car broke down, Jenny went above and beyond to help us. Wonderful place. We are definitely coming back.

Great Place!

This ‘place’ Needs to provide friendly hospitality and certainly Customer Service. Still ranking at 350.00 plus a night the cottages should be redone as they are run down and tired. As a single mom after covid opened up phase 2 after 5-6 months of a gruelling pandemic, my oldest daughter wanted to gather to reunite. It was a last minute decision - spontaneous as we needed family time , as yhe world over did. I sat infront of my computer over night running the dates we as a family could provide. Finally on a cottage rental site the dates gelled and up popped Walkerlake Resort showing 4 nights midweek not booked for the second week in July from Monday to Friday. I quickly opened another window on my browser and quickly looked through the ‘Launching page’ of the website and the Cedar cottage overview page. Nowhere in that exploration did the term No Pets identify itself. I even double checked. My youngest  daughter has anxiety and Covid played havoc with her. The cat 🐈 or rather still kitten really, kept her calm and is a lap cat, a working cat. I am allergic to dogs to an extreme and therefore she has a cat, which is tolerated with antihistamines when needed by me. Satisfied I tried booking on line immediately- credit card in hand. The site would not let me book. I called the ‘resort’ and spoke with Toby who said he was the cleaner and cant help me. I would have to call tomorrow morning. when I asked if there was someone who could call me back he said no and I would have to wait till tomorrow. Fearful I would lose the possible reservation, I tried booking on my cell phone and completed the transaction. Within minutes I had a call from JENN at the front desk who stated she was glad to see I was able to book. My point is somebody was there the whole time. She then called me back an hour later and said that my credit card did not go through it was expired. I immediately gave her another card and concern called the credit card company. when they reviewed the transaction they stated she entered the expiration date incorrectly. I asked them to be sure walker resort did not charge double on the first credit card. anyways we arrived at the resort Monday just before 4 PM as we were rigidly informed not to arrive prior. My other daughters checked in park their car, I rolled in and went to the front house to check in. JENN walked up to my car saw my daughters lap cat in her lap under the seatbelt, and without greeting us stated it is a pet free resort and we have to go. I was not permitted to remove the cat from my car. The cat had been in the hot car with us for four hours. Then she insisted she had my credit card right away. There was no option for negotiation she would not engage in conversation she would not listen to our side of the story and she did not believe me when I told her I did not see no pets on the website. She also again ask for my credit card before I leave. And that’s a quote. I stated I would go down to the cottage to check on my daughter’s first. The whole thing blew up with JENN coming down the hill and again asking for my credit card to complete the transaction that I was not allowed to stay for. She also brought a card to a pet hotel without any consideration to our budget. Also my youngest daughter would not settle to have her lap cat for comfort not with her. when I said that was unacceptable JENN then begin discussing it With somebody who was not even in our family. All of this was going on right in front of me. Once again I try to explain the situation with the cat and possible resolutions that could be negotiated. I was told we had to leave. I asked for a refund and I was told no. I suggested she keep the deposit and we will just leave, she stated no that I had to pay in full and she asked again for my credit card. Then on top of it 295 a night which was listed on the website Became 350 a night, and then on the Friday night she bumped it up to 395 a night because it’s a weekend. But on the booking website it showed as a time slot for four nights five days which was clearly a gap and not booked. I made this reservation last minute those timeslots with never been filled. So the long and short of it is I asked to go in the cottage to use the bathroom the cottage was terribly rundown did not look clean was not like the pictures, I took my cat out of the car anyway and put her in the lake to cool her off before we put her back in the car and turned around after for our hot summer drive up and drove back to Toronto. this was supposed to be family time after Covid. In addition, my daughters were devastated we were all so tired hot and upset, everybody was in tears, my credit card was charged over $1200 for a 20 minute stay over a last-minute booking. Literally a last-minute booking. This is the worst resort experience I’ve had in my life and my kids and I usually do something like this once a year. Had they have just kept the deposit we would’ve had budget to maybe find shelter somewhere else. I do not recommend this resort, it is a money grab there’s no hospitality, there is no customer service, they are rigid and rude. They upset an entire family, devastated my youngest who has anxiety, took away my opportunity to get us all together due to my budget, and felt absolutely no remorse or compassion for the situation. One opportunity of negotiation would’ve been A potential $250 cleaning cost for the additional cat situation. This is an indoor fixed, calm lap cat. The cat would not of even been out of the room my daughter sleeps in because that’s how it’s trained. Or option to keep our deposit and allow us to leave peacefully with an apology on their behalf for not clearly marking no pets allowed on their website. I do not recommend this resort for anybody especially people with children.

Worst Experience Ever - Family Vacay

We decided at the last minute to try and find accommodations in Huntsville for the Labor Day weekend.  We by accident came upon this resort on line.  We weren't sure what to expect and we were pleasantly surprised.  We stayed in the cedar cottage.  It was a perfect size for a family of 4.  We had great access to the dock, canoes, kayaks and paddle boards.  The lake was quiet and great for swimming and fishing.  Overall a very relaxing and fun family vacation.  Would definitely go back.

Labor Day Weekend 2018

We stayed two days in the resort in two bedroom'acorn'cottage.
The cottage is old, uncleaned and not maintained. The bathroom is extremely small with peeling paint off the walls. The toilet is durty. When we expressed our concerns to staff we were told the bathroom is brand new and the peeling paint is due to ongoing moisture...
We weren't able to open any windows and asked staff for help. One bedroom window didn't have screen. Few windows had broken glass. The floor is uneven and wasn't washed in ages. The double bed is squaky and uncomfortable. All bed covers in bedrooms and white couch cushions in living are extremely durty.
We paid expensive price for two nights and didn't expect to end up in durty motel we have ever seen. 
Stay away from this place and don't spend your money !

The worst cottage in beautiful lake

We had booked a house in Bracebridge through Airbnb which didn't suit us when we arrived there. I contacted Mallary who was super fast at responding to my email. We ended up in Cedar which is one of the renovated lodges and actually the closest to the jetty and the boats. It was perfect for us as a famliy of four and saved the last week of our holiday from being a total disaster. 
Rob and Mallary took this place over last year and we could see that they have been working hard over the winter to update the accommodation and the restaurant. They are very honest in their descriptions of the accommodation and clearly state that they are relatively new owners working hard to create a great resort - in my opinion they are well on their way with this. I would go back if we ever are in Canada again. Thank you so much for a really great time.

saved our holiday

Thank you Mallary and staff.  We enjoyed the perfect meal and the perfect evening.  The service was great; the meal was great; the music was great.  Thanks for making sure all was well.  We will certainly be back and we will certainly tell other how awesome our evening was.

Great meal, great hospitality!

Stayed here for 2 days/nights for a company retreat. It's a gorgeous Muskoka setting on a quiet lake (no motorboats or jetskis), comfortably warm for swimming in mid-June. The cottages are recently renovated and were spacious and comfortable. Food at the Norseman restaurant was delicious.
