Accommodations
Pow-Wow Point Lodge, for a family summer getaway by Doug Smith


   With 1500 feet of lakefront on a southern exposure on Peninsula Lake, just outside of Huntsville in Muskoka, Pow Wow Point Lodge has a little bit of everything for the summer vacationer. Take in all the various waterfront activities with your family – swimming, canoeing, windsurfing, and kayaking – savour the scrumptious meals, and relax in the well-kept accommodations. Dedicated Pow Wow staff work hard to satisfy your every need.

  Weekly events in the summer include volleyball, water tubing, mini-Olympics, a sunset cruise, Bar-B-Q’s, campfires and more. The 3 to 12 year olds are kept interested with their own daily children’s program, available during July and August.

 Hike the 5.7 kilometre nature trail on Pow Wow’s own thirty-five acres of open and wooded transition forest, or venture further afield to nearby Algonquin Park and the Leslie Frost Centre for the day. Explore the variety of unique shopping stores, country markets, antique and craft shops as well as several scenic attractions in nearby Huntsville and other communities. There are a number of superb golf courses nearby, including the championship Deerhurst course.

  Pow Wow’s accommodations range from standard rooms to spacious cottages to deluxe suites, all well attended by their staff.  Owners Doug and Dee Howell are continually renovating and adding to the resort to make their guests stay more comfortable, and meet the growing demand for deluxe, quality accommodation.

  The meal plan is full American, providing three delicious meals daily. Favorites include their prime rib or roast beef with Yorkshire pudding, and homemade butter tarts for dessert.

  Doug and Dee have operated the lodge since 1989, continuing the tradition of Howell Hospitality started by Doug’s parents, Jack and Jacquie, in 1969. The high percentage of repeat clientele attests to the quality of Howell Hospitality.
