Although I'm a tad late in my review of our AMAZING experience at Portage Inn, I wanted to make sure this gem and lovely hosts, received the recognition they deserve. Back in the first week of January over the holidays, I was looking for a quaint winter escape for myself, my son (age 10) and niece (age 13). We are... More

No hesitation in recommending the Portage Inn for its historic charm, hospitality and atmosphere. We stayed at the Inn in a delightful period room. Our hosts were friendly & engaging and, as an added bonus, their literary background is fascinating. We look foward to a return visit, as it's also very convenient - just nicely out of town, but close... More

This is a self contained cottage type accommodation with 3 bedrooms, a living room area, full kitchen, dining room and 1 1/2 baths. There is a balcony, which overlooks beautiful Peninsula Lake. Our dogs were very welcome and the... More

We stayed at the cottages on the property. They were clean, well appointed, nicely furnished and decorated, equipped with everything we needed. The view of the lake was wonderful. The hosts went out of their way to accomodate us and show us the property and Inn. I would reccomend the Inn for couples and the cottages are great for families.... More

I recently stayed at the portage inn before heading into the Algonquin backcountry. Our host, Sydney, was helpful and friendly (his wife was out of town). The inn is beautiful, and the large grounds include a tennis court, basketball net, beach volleyball court, as well as water access with available watercraft (kayaks, canoes, sailboat, paddleboat). Inside, the common Great Room... More

We arrived at Portage Inn at around 5pm to stay overnight before making our way to Algonquin Provincial Park the next day. Nancy and Sidney, the proprietors, were extremely hospitable making us feel right at home, treating us as if we were one of the family. We spent hours talking to Nancy and Sidney and I played pool with Sidney.... More

This is a lovely old inn on a winding Muskoka road on Peninsula (Pen) Lake outside of Huntsville. The owners are authors and they are very interesting people with an absorbing book collection, although I really only had time to chat with proprietor Nancy. This family-run operation is nicely situated with lake views, beach right there, lovely rooms, bar/breakfast room... More

From the moment we checked in (and we did arrive a little early) the owners were extremely helpful. We were able to launch our boat close by and had 2 lakes to choose from, Lake of Bays or Penn Lake. We chose Penn Lake this time and were able to catch both small mouth bass and pike. We stayed at... More
