Everything about the newest addition to Muskoka’s arsenal of top-notch accommodation, Holiday Inn’s Lake Muskoka Resort in Bracebridge, seems, well, fresh. Having undergone recent renovations, the rooms are freshly painted and have new furnishings; the food’s always fresh… and, being located in Muskoka, the air’s always fresh, too.

  Open year-round, most rooms at Lake Muskoka Resort offer excellent views of the lake – a fact that can make it difficult for guests to drag themselves away long enough to enjoy the hotel’s many excellent facilities (this is especially true of those luxury rooms equipped with jacuzzis and fireplaces!). Best of all, these rooms-with-a-view don’t have to cost the earth: from now until April 30, 2003, an overnight stay can cost as little as $95.

  Lake Muskoka Resort boasts three delightful dining options, too. The Main Lodge Dining Room, with its spectacular views over the sparkling water, is undoubtedly one of Muskoka's most romantic restaurants. To top it all, the resort’s first rate kitchen staff are experts at creating mouth-watering regional cuisine that combines the best of international and Canadian traditions. During the summer months, guests can even enjoy their meals outdoors in the adjoining patio.

A resort for all occasions

Whatever the occasion, Holiday Inn’s Lake Muskoka Resort pulls out all the stops to ensure your Muskoka experience is a memorable one. Weddings seem to be particularly popular: many a bride and groom have tied the knot underneath the resort’s fragrant pines and against the blue Lake Muskoka backdrop. (A wedding specialist has even been added to the resort’s permanent staff to ensure the big day goes off as without a hitch.)

  For those seeking a quiet, relaxing experience, the resort has opened The Aston Spa, a place of peace and self-renewal set amidst the restful surrounds of Lake Muskoka. Services offered include manicures and pedicures, skin care and facials, aromatherapy, back treatments and massages – all available individually or as part of a package.
