The best memories are created around the table.
Embrace the historic charm of our dining room,

The Family Room

Since the earliest days of the grand waterfront resorts, gathering over a great meal has been an essential part of the Muskoka experience. At Port Cunnington Lodge, that tradition continues in a way that feels true to the setting today. Our historic lakeside Family Dining Room, located in the Main Lodge built in 1890, features vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams, high dormer windows, and sweeping views of Lake of Bays. The space blends classic Muskoka character with a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Family Room

Enjoy a relaxed dining experience centered around a beautiful spread of seasonal plates, fresh salads, and chef-prepared hot dishes, presented buffet-style and thoughtfully prepared to be enjoyed at your own pace. It’s an easy, welcoming way to gather, share, and settle into the evening.
