John Canada

Room was great - spacious, clean, great layout, bathroom great - wonderful shower and bath Boathouse restaurant - great food and service Wasn’t crowded when we went which was great.

Wanda Canada

We have planned to have a short trip to Muskoka in October to see all that wonderful colours. Unfortunately weather was not nice and all days were raining. Despite that we truly enjoyed staying in Taboo Muskoka, we had room with view right on the lake and basically lake was 2 metres from building. It was so nice,quiet and peaceful with only hearing waves on the water. That was exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations. We are planning to come back 100%

Maria Canada

The location was beautiful. What a way to wake up looking at the lake. Close to two towns.

David Canada

The breakfast at The Boathouse was excellent , very hot , very fresh . The location was nice next to the water.

Robert Canada

Enjoyed the Boathouse restaurant for dinner our first night. Excellent meal. Sunsets were fabulous. Loved the nature trail. Accommodation was very comfortable.

Linda Canada

We stayed in a Premier Lakeview room on the 4th floor. The room was spacious and luxurious with a balcony and 2 Muskoka chairs. The view of Lake Muskoka is spectacular and the sunsets were breathtaking! You can’t beat the view. Friendly accommodating staff and great food served on the patio by the lake. We had an amazing time and will be back again soon. Love the resort and the staff!
