On the far, opposite shore of Lake Rosseau
from Cleveland’s House (discussed last week) lies Windermere House. Originally
of the same vintage, this popular hotel burned down in 1996 during the filming
of a Hollywood movie. Unlike the dozens of other Muskoka resorts lost to fire,
however, this one rose again from the ashes.

We stayed there before and after the fire,
and marvelled at how accurately it had been rebuilt, with a few concessions to
present times, like an elevator. Recently the interior
has been altered, losing some of its Victorian charm.
