Windermere House/My World

Windermere House, Windermere, Ontario

My World? Not really. But I did drive by it and take photos of it!

Windermere House is a prestigious Four  Diamond (TOLD you it isn't my world!) resort on Lake Rosseau.  This is actually a rebuilt version of the 1870 Victorian structure as the original was destroyed by fire in 1996 during the filming of the movie "The Long Kiss Goodnight."

For rates, check HERE.

Two strangers

This is more like My World: she's taking photos of Windermere House's front garden and he's looking at his watch.



Visit My World Tuesday  HERE to see tons of photos from around the world.

    [EG, we use olive and canola oils too. Also peanut oil for some Chinese dishes, yum! Frankly, I'm still fine with canola, but reeeeeally wish I could more clearly see on the bottle which are made with canola grown from Monsanto GM seeds and which not. And you are so right, the food issues start piling up and eating loses its fun! My approach is the middle way: eat as nutritiously with fresh foods as possible without obsessing.]

    Ah, well. Nice to photograph it, even if one can't live it.

    We once visited the Mount Washington Hotel while on a camping trip... we really felt the poor folks borrowing the fancy bathrooms for a bit.

    It would be fun to stay there at least once.

    Well, the Windmere House wouldn't be my world, either...but maybe in my dreams! It looks absolutely lovely and I wouldn't mind walking around the grounds and enjoying the sights.

    I think the second photo is more accurate than a lot of us would like to admit! LOL!

    Very impressive - too bad the original was destroyed.

    Funny second photo - your world.

    The long kiss lit the building on fire. :) The second photo looks like me & hubby- "Hon, it's time to go." " Just a sec, one more photo. I don't have this angle yet." LOL

    Looks to be a wonderful place to stay, providing there's no fire. B Squared said it right.

    The second photo shows the gentleman timing her shots so she can do a panorama. Didn't you know that? ;-))

    I was going to say that it would be a great movie location and then I read that it burned down while filming a movie. Looks very charming and definitely beyond my means.

    I checked out the prices. You won't find that kind of pocket change in the sofa cushions at the Craver household; that's for sure.

    I love big old mansions.
    When we tour them I pretend it is my house. Like I think I'll move that chair closer to the fireplace or we must repaint that bedroom. LOL! I wouldn't do a thing to those pretty red and white awnings.

    Wow--someone involved in that filmaking got into some big trouble! The resort looks gorgeous--they did a great job of restoring it.

    Your second picture really made me laugh. Typical man I would say! I would mind staying in that hotel for a while. First have to win the lottery. But I am working on that ;-)

    What a beautiful place...even if I was wealthy, I don't think I would give that kind of money to stay at a place. I would just feel guilty at what could be done with it.
