Limited exchange activity
Limited exchange activity. Interval flags this resort as one where few weeks are deposited, so an exchange into it is hard to obtain and may not be available at all — regardless of how well it rates below.
About
A private enclave of waterfront cottages on Lake Rosseau, The Cottages at Windermere is a fitting enhancement to the 140-plus-year reputation of Windermere House Resort. The well-appointed three-bedroom cottages feature beamed ceilings, gas fireplaces, screened Muskoka rooms with all-weather furnishings, designer interiors with state-of-the-art kitchens and baths, washer and dryer, as well as Wi-Fi and satellite TV. Guests can enjoy the services of the Windermere House Resort and the many activities for which the Muskoka area is known

High is the average daily maximum for that week and wet days are how many of the seven see 1 mm or more, averaged over 2023-2025. Demand says when a week is hard to get; this says whether you would want it. Weather from Open-Meteo, CC BY 4.0.
Week numbers follow Interval's calendar: week 1 starts on the first Friday of the year, and the Saturday and Sunday after it belong to the same week. A 52-week year still has a week 53 on the demand chart — its check-in dates fall in January of the following year. Full week calendar →
