The owner Kim and Doug have been extremely natural nice and helpful. They renovated their Bed and Breakfast to a super modern accommodation without compromising the feel of staying in a century home. When I say super modern, I refer to the bathrooms and the electrical. The choice of furniture and decor is very inviting and tastefully placed. Kim and Doug are still big time renovating and one of their next projects is the kitchen and I'm sure when done, will just look as beautiful as the rest of the place and replace the continental breakfast with a traditional breakfast. We'll be going back to stay there again and recommend this place highly.

This is a wonderful B&B within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Our room was spotlessly clean with a very comfortable bed and an extra-large luxury shower. Kim and Doug were awesome hosts, friendly and helpful. Free use of the kayaks and paddleboards was a nice extra. Breakfast is continental style with bottomless coffee and we enjoyed it on the large front porch-what a great way to start our day!

This is a wonderful B&B, one of the best we have stayed in. The hosts were very helpful, and very welcoming. I would highly recommend this B&B. You will not be disappointed. The hosts go out of their way to assist in every detail and they were so nice and welcoming. We had a great experience and would return again for sure. The room was superb and very well appointed. Great B&B.

The BEST experience at a bed and breakfast! I initially booked this as just a place to sleep as I was surprising my partner with a concert at the Kee To Bala (incredible venue). Boy, was I impressed by this place. Doug & Kim are wonderful hosts. They are so friendly and welcoming! The property itself is beautifully renovated inside and the outdoor amenities can keep you busy all day. The easy access to the lake right in front of the house was so convenient, too. My partner and I started making plans to come back after our first night there! 2 nights is not enough! Thank you Kim & Doug!

**A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Bala** It’s with great reluctance that I share this review—only because the Cranberry Moon Inn B&B is the kind of place you selfishly want to keep to yourself. Nestled in the heart of Bala, this charming retreat is a true hidden gem, offering a perfect blend of comfort, style, and heartfelt hospitality. From the moment you arrive, Kim and Doug welcome you like old friends. Their warmth is matched only by their deep knowledge of the area, generously offering tips on everything from scenic walks to the best local eats. The inn itself is beautifully appointed—each room thoughtfully redecorated with a modern yet cozy flair. The bathrooms, in particular, are a standout: spacious, sparkling, and spa-like. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Just a short stroll brings you to Bala’s quaint shops, inviting restaurants, and the iconic KEE to Bala. Whether you're here for a weekend escape or a longer stay, the Cranberry Moon Inn offers a serene, stylish base for exploring Muskoka. Highly recommended—just don’t tell too many people.

Weekend on the Water and Concerts!!

Just stayed the weekend for a couple shows at Kee, and it was a perfect spot! Short walk to Kee to Bala, boat launch and dock across the street with free SUP and kayaks included. A hot tub and large shared deck for relaxing. Well-appointed suites in very clean and modern condition. Free continental breakfast, and above all else, great service from the friendly inn owners. Thanks, Kim and Doug! See you again! Adam & Ashley
