The Sherwood Inn: A Taste of Authentic Muskoka





Nestled on the serene shores of Lake Joseph in the heart of Muskoka, The Sherwood Inn is renowned for its tranquil surroundings, gracious hospitality and culinary excellence, which has provided an ideal getaway for over seventy-five years. With the crystal blue waters of Lake Joseph and centuries old pines creating a stunning backdrop, The Sherwood must be one of Ontario’s most romantic lakeside inns, blending the charm of old Muskoka, the comfort of modern upscale amenities and classic ambiance of authentic cottage-country life. And the Inn's Muskoka-inspired cuisine, wonderfully prepared by Canadian Chef Everett Bell, is the crowning glory on the Sherwood experience. Chef Bell advocates local cuisine and Muskoka-sourced artisan food preparations for his seasonally changing menu, with an on-site natural smokehouse providing a delicate flavour for many of the resort's creations, including their popular smoked salmon. Many of the herbs and vegetables are also harvested straight from the Inn's own gardens. Arriving for lunch this past weekend, we were surrounded by the lush natural beauty, tranquil sounds and gorgeous lakeside surroundings Lake Joseph, while savouring the memorable cuisine of Chef Bell and enjoying a glass or two of the Inn's excellent wines. What a delicious way to celebrate the start of the Labour Day weekend!
