Rosseau

Muskoka Lakes


Ideal for couples with kids and/or cash, the isolated Rosseau is the kind of place where Mom and Dad can swim by the pool while the youngsters ramble on guided nature walks. Dining is limited to the resort's expensive offerings. Suites have kitchens, too, but cost a small fortune. In short: huge, handsome, has it all – but it's not for everyone.

A daily resort fee ($39-49, depending on the season) is added to to the final bill.
