"We recently stayed at Severn Lodge for a 2-night getaway, and despite a hiccup at the very beginning, we left thoroughly impressed and relaxed.
Our trip started with a bit of stress when we arrived for check-in and the front desk couldn't locate our booking. However, the staff handled the situation with incredible grace. Even though the kitchen had closed an hour prior, they still ensured we were given a room and provided us with dinner. That level of hospitality right off the bat was very much appreciated. The issue was resolved the next day between the lodge and Hotels.com, and we were able to settle in without further worry.
The stay itself was exactly what we needed. While I didn’t utilize the swimming areas or the many flotation platforms, there was plenty to do. I really enjoyed the hiking trails and spent a lot of time relaxing in the hot tub or sitting in a Muskoka chair along the shoreline. It is a truly beautiful and peaceful spot.
A major highlight for us was the food. We enjoyed Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner at the lodge, and every meal was delicious. The staff across the board—from the dining room to the front desk—were friendly, helpful, and attentive. It seemed like every time we made a request, it was fulfilled promptly with a smile.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Severn Lodge. It is a fantastic destination, especially for families, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classic Muskoka experience."
