Tall Pines Festival Weekend in Muskoka

Tall Pines Music & Arts Festival is one of Muskoka’s best mid-summer weekends — live music, local art, and that easy festival energy, held July 17–18. If you’re heading in for it, here’s where to land.

A quiet base, close to the action. The Dudley Inn sits just outside Bala, an easy drive to the festival and the rest of the area. We’re a small, fully renovated boutique motel — eight rooms across seven acres, first built in 1965 and renovated in 2022, tucked into the trees. After a long day of music, it’s a calm place to come back to. See our rooms →

Rooms for any kind of trip. Coming solo or as a pair? The King Rooms and Porch King Suite are made for two, the latter with a kitchenette for slow mornings. Bringing friends or family? The Queen Rooms sleep four and the Country Farmhouse fits a whole group. All with heated bathroom floors, in-room coffee, fast Wi-Fi, and contactless check-in.

More than the festival. Tall Pines is the headline, but the weekend’s bigger than one stage. Bala Falls, the Hardy Lake trails, the local restaurants, and the shops in Port Carling are all close. We’ll point you to the good ones. Explore the area →

Plan ahead. Festival weekends are some of our busiest, and with only eight rooms we fill up fast. If July 17–18 is on your calendar, book early and travel easy.
