WELCOME TO the dudley inn

Eight rooms set on a quiet seven-acre property just outside Bala — four Queen Rooms (each sleeps four), two King Rooms, the Porch King Suite, and the two-bedroom Country Farmhouse. Two minutes from town. Two hours from Toronto. Quieter than either.

Renovated rooms with heated bathroom floors, comfortable beds, and a quiet, set-back location just outside town. Built in the 1980s from poplar trees harvested on the property — and brought back to life in 2022.

The Dudley Inn front featuring stone pillars, yellow Muskoka Chairs on the porch, and flower beds, surrounded by trees.
Modern Muskoka Motel with white bedding, wooden accent wall, two decorative pillows, a window with a view of greenery, and a black bench at the foot of the bed. The room features wood flooring, a bedside table, and a mirror leaning against the wall.

Two minutes from Bala. Set back from everything else.

Contactless self-check-in means your stay starts the moment you arrive — no front desk, no waiting. From here, you’re minutes from the Kee to Bala, the Cranberry Marsh, and the restaurants in Bala and Port Carling. Lake Muskoka, Lake Joseph, and Lake Rosseau are all a short drive away.

it’s not just rustic — it’s rooted.

Our story started in the 1980s with a simple idea: to create a peaceful retreat that captured the essence of Muskoka. The inn was built using poplar trees from our own land, giving it a true connection to the area. In 2022, we updated the suites to bring a modern touch while ensuring we kept the original character and charm intact.

  • “The Dudley Inn far surpassed my expectations!! The room was beautiful and up to date. Extremely clean, spacious and quiet space. Contactless check in and check out was extremely easy! The inn is close to local restaurants, trails and attractions- we already can’t wait to come back!”

    — Brianna

  • “The farmhouse was stunning! Cozy fireplace and gorgeous new Reno with high end finishes. My wife and I loved cooking in the huge updated kitchen and the private BBQ and my dog loved the huge backyard and patio! They came strongly recommended by locals in the area! Looking forward to coming back next fall!”

    — Christopher

  • "To my surprise you can tell there was a feminine aspect to the place when you walked in, 4 pillows per bed and a stamped water mark on the folded toilet paper. The fridge was stocked and the bed sheets felt like being at home. Not just an everyday motel. I will bring my wife back!"
