Facilites are excellent and accommodation in the main building first class following renovation…read more The only downside is the lack of fine dining since the main restaurant was burnt down a few years ago. The lakeside Boathouse Restaurant is OK but mainly casual and for me uninspiring fare. Service is efficient and staff attentive. Somewhat expensive but reflective of the resort and its generally well-heeled clientele. The Chalet/Condominium style accommodation, not that we experienced it, has catering facilities. This would be advantageous for many as nearby Gravenhurst offers limited and unexciting dining and Bracebridge much the same. During our stay it was mainly large families and the beach areas were lively and crowded, although guests had the option of three pools in the complex.. The attached golf course is renowned and highly regarded in the golfing community and not for high handicappers. Again, another expensive aspect of this resort. However, If you are not budget conscious and enjoy spectacular views and lake activities it should easily provide a satisfactory break or vacation for every age group.

The beds are absolutely incredible leading to the best sleeps ever! We've stayed in both resort view and lakeview rooms and love them all the same. The staff go out of their way to make your stay great from recommendations for dinner to going above and beyond! They heard we had recently got engaged so when we arrived there was a lovely note from the staff saying congratulations. One year we came up for thanksgiving which was a couple of days after my husband's birthday and when we got to our room there was a lovely happy birthday card and a bottle of wine which we enjoyed while watching the sunset. The golf course was lovely. It was perfect for both our levels, challenging but fun. They space out tee times so you really feel like you are the only ones on the course. We always have a great time at Taboo and we'll keep coming back! :D

DO NOT RESERVE When…read moreyou go to a new destination it is difficult to know where to stay, where to eat, what to see. Gravenhurst has a long history in the development of Canada. In a 4 hour tour of Lake Muskokq on the old mail steamship Sequin, there is much to learn from the knowledgeable tour guide on board to make it a very enjoyable afternoon. But this serene atmosphere can be easily broken by grabby motel owners, such as Oakwood Motel, who require 7 days notice to cancel reservations. Occasional tourists who use motels expect flexibility in their accommodations. To force strict adherence to bookings distract from "going with the flow". Certainly such forced adherence to the motel's strict policy kills any possibilty of any repeat business, not only for that particular motel but for all Gravenhurst'.

"The Quintessential B&B"…read more We have been to several B&B's across Canada and there are certain common elements that are standard to the better ones, such as genial hosts, clean and comfortable accommodation and first-rate breakfasts. From the moment we arrived at the Robbins' Tuktawayin B&B there was a sense this establishment went well beyond the requisite elements. It starts from when you enter their secluded, tree-shaded property and continues as your eyes fixate on Elaine's lovingly tended garden. The calming effect these visual cues have on you cannot be overestimated. I liken it to benefiting from a Valium without actually having to take one. Elaine will modestly tell you that she really doesn't do much to affect this horticultural wonder but the Daisy Award bestowed on their property from the Town of Gravenhurst, with a marker at the driveways' entrance, indicates otherwise. The general sense of well-being is enhanced when you step into their lakeside cottage and see the expansive kitchen, living area and glassed-in front room with a panoramic view. The dining/breakfast room, which is also glassed-in, offers a fantastic view of Gull Lake. If you are fortunate enough to face it as you consume your meal it will surely add to the experience. The bedrooms may be modest in size but have incredibly comfortable beds and plenty of storage space. The nearly silent ceiling fans add a sense of nostalgia but also play an important functional purpose in air circulation, which along with the black out blinds contribute to a good nights' rest. In one area where this B&B really shines is that it offers lakeside accommodation at a fraction of the price of nearby hotels and resorts. So if your only aim is to while away the day on a dock and take refreshing dips in the lake, you can. Feeling more energetic? Ask to use the canoe or a paddle board. If pampering is more your style, they offer a powerboat tour of Gull Lake for a nominal fee. Your hosts both pitch in to produce superb breakfasts. And while some of the offerings may seem standard, the additional touches elevate them beyond the ordinary. For example, one morning we were served French toast, which was generous, garnished with wild, not cultivated, blueberries. As a tea drinker, I often bemoan the fact that we are treated as an afterthought. Not at the Robbins' where the majority of teas on offer were loose leaf and purchased from The Blue Willow Tea Shop in town. On the second morning, we were served a very hearty oatmeal, which was Elaine's own recipe consisting of several whole grains with numerous garnishes. As a fine accompaniment, a basket of freshly baked scones graced our table that was even more appealing with Dave's homemade blueberry jam. To top it off a bowl of refreshing fruit salad was a nice touch. The care that Elaine and Dave take is what adds such wonderful and critically important touch to their B&B: From their initial welcome, Dave actually waited for us in the driveway, having an abundance of information on local activities, events and shopping to accommodating our differing dietary needs. All was handled with a laid back but attentive approach of well-schooled hospitality veterans. One caveat is the numerous stairs up to the house from the driveway and down to the dock from the back. If you have mobility issues their establishment may present a challenge. Otherwise, if you enjoy a beautiful lakeside cottage without any of the work that comes with it, take a look at Robbins' Tuktawayin B&B, you won't be disappointed. Room Tip: Lakeview room has a more direct access to the dining/breakfast room & dock
