Right in the middle of Muskoka, located almost exactly between Bracebridge and Huntsville, this is the perfect home base for exploring all that cottage country has to offer. Just a short drive away (<10 mins), you’ll find the charming village of Port Sydney where you can grab an ice cream cone and explore the waterfalls or the bustling beach or get food/supplies/gas and LCBO at Freshmart. Adventure enthusiasts should be sure to check out Arrowhead Park, just north on Highway 11, for a fantastic nature reserve or Algonquin Park on Hwy 60. Santa's Village is located south in Bracebridge and it's always fun for the whole family.
