    I recently spent Christmas at a hostel in Whitney and had a mixed experience. The best aspects were the beautiful view of the river from the common kitchen and eating area. It created a peaceful and serene atmosphere, especially in the morning with the mist rising from the water. Another positive was the well-equipped kitchen with a grill and log wood barbecue, perfect for cooking meals together with family and friends. the room had an electric space heater that kept it cozy and comfortable in the cool weather.

    There were a few aspects that I didn't like. The rooms and washrooms were quite worn down, and there were issues with water oozing out from the floor in the washroom after taking a shower.

    The location of the hostel is perfect for visiting Algonquin Provincial Park, with only a 5-minute drive to the park gate. the room was warm, comfortable, and clean, with a shared fully equipped kitchen available. the bathroom was also clean and well-maintained. the view of the river from the common kitchen and eating area was beautiful.

    Some areas of the hostel, such as the entry and common areas, are in need of upgrading.

    Shared accommodation with a kitchenette and TV, ideal for young families. Well-patronized restaurant with good food and service. Helpful staff with knowledge of local specialties. Plenty of parking and free passes to the park.

    Felt free to seek any assistance, nothing to complain about.

    We stayed at The Mad Musher for 2 nights and had a fantastic experience. The owner was friendly and understanding when our flight was cancelled, and he didn't charge us for the night we couldn't stay. The room was warm, comfortable, and clean, with a shared kitchen that was fully equipped. The shared bathroom was well-maintained and clean. The view outside was stunning, with a scenic river and barbecue area. The location was perfect for hiking and exploring the nearby park. Ample parking and free park passes provided by the owner added extra convenience.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    The value for money at Mad Musher was fantastic, with a comfy room and fully equipped shared kitchen. The location was great, just a short drive away from the entrance to the national park, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful.

    Menu for breakfast could use a bit more variety.
