A landmark property that stands proudly in the heart of Muskoka's stunning landscape, Deerhurst Resort beckons travelers to experience the essence of Ontario's famed 'cottage country.' Situated just outside Huntsville, the resort overlooks the shimmering waters of Peninsula Lake, imbuing every moment with a sense of peace and wanderlust. Guests are greeted by an expansive lobby, adorned with local art that celebrates the rugged beauty of its surroundings; expect an impressive wooden staircase, sunlight filtering through large windows, and cozy seating areas that invite lingering conversations. As you explore further, the interior reveals a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary aesthetics, accentuated by rustic finishes that pay homage to Muskoka's heritage. The four on-site dining venues promise culinary adventures, showcasing locally sourced ingredients, including the resort's own delicious maple syrup and wildflower honey. Elevate your dining experience at the elegant Eclipse Restaurant & Terrace or indulge in the casual charm of the Maple Pub & Patio-whether it's a hearty brunch or a meticulously crafted dinner, the options are bound to satisfy even the most discerning palates. Beyond the delectable cuisine, the resort presents two championship golf courses, the breathtaking Deerhurst Lakeside and the prestigious Deerhurst Highlands, both renowned for their natural beauty and challenging layouts. A panoramic rooftop deck waits for your evening drink under the stars, where the ambiance becomes as intoxicating as the view.
Explore the Local Area
Centrally located, Deerhurst Resort is an ideal launching point to explore the vibrant Muskoka region. Nearby, the picturesque Fairy Lake is just 4 km away, offering serene waterfront vistas. Adventurers can seek thrills at Treetop Trekking Huntsville, a mere 3 km from the resort, or venture into Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area for winter sports excitement, just 1 km away. For those looking to uncover local culture, Muskoka Heritage Place, approximately 7 km from the property, presents a fascinating look into the region's history. Each route is draped in the mesmerizing hues of forest trails or lakescapes that define Muskoka's allure. Transport is simplified with easy access to Highway 11 and nearby Huntsville's local amenities, while the Toronto Pearson International Airport is a convenient two-hour drive away, allowing a seamless transition from city buzz to country bliss.
Room Information
Deerhurst Resort boasts 185 refined accommodations, each championing comfort and style. The guest rooms feature either one King bed or two Queen beds, complete with plush linens and cozy duvets. Each room is designed with practicality in mind, providing essentials such as a work desk, mini-fridge, and an inviting seating area, all while offering views of the breathtaking lake or lush surrounding forests. With this thoughtful layout, a good night's sleep is guaranteed, enveloped in tranquility.
Room Upgrades
For families or groups, the resort offers spacious condo suites ranging from 800 sq ft to 1,200 sq ft, where guests can relish in the comfort of separate bedrooms, large common areas, and fully-equipped kitchens that include modern appliances and cozy dining spaces. Select suites feature expansive views of the lake and easy access to outdoor terraces. Furthermore, upgraded suites provide additional luxuries such as soaking tubs and enhanced seating areas-perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration, accommodating up to six guests with plenty of room to stretch out.
“This resort strikes me as a mixed bag; the lakeside setting and range of activities appeal to families and outdoor enthusiasts, but dated rooms and service inconsistencies seem to detract from the experience. While the golf courses and spa earn praise, be prepared for potential extra costs and the need to drive between some facilities. Ultimately, it appears that booking accommodations closer to the lake might mitigate some logistical challenges.”
