Bigwin Inn

Bigwin Inn was once billed as North America's largest, most luxurious summer resort and the largest resort in the British Commonwealth, an elegant hideaway for the rich and famous. This fabulous collection of vintage historical photographs takes us back in time to the Gatsby-like era of Bigwin's heyday in Ontario's Muskoka Lakes district -- an age of sleek mahogany launches, glamorous masquerade balls, performances by Count Basie and Duke Ellington, and Hollywood stars in the Tea House. The story of Bigwin Inn constitutes an unforgettable chapter in Canadian history. Today, redeveloped and refurbished, Bigwin continues to cater to thousands of visitors and guests each summer.
