Think of Muskoka, and you’ll undoubtedly picture a
place shaped by nature, a rugged beauty carved from the
Canadian Shield over thousands of years by extremes of hot and
cold weather. For decades, it’s been a place people have
travelled to in order to get away from the hustle and bustle
of their everyday lives, a chance to find a little piece of
heaven, if only for a weekend at a time.
One
little piece of heaven that’s well worth a visit -- even if
only for a few hours -- is
The Trillium Resort and Spa, a gem of a place tucked away
in a quiet corner of Muskoka just minutes from Port Sydney.
The folks at Trillium, set amidst 86 acres of untouched
forests of towering hardwoods and evergreens and overlooking
its own private lake and waterfall, seem to have perfected the
concept of relaxation.
Not
only does Trillium offer many of the activities found in most
Muskokan retreats – of canoeing, windsurfing, mountain
biking and tennis court -- it takes the concept of relaxation
a step further, offering a wide variety of spa-related
services. Better still, all of the property’s treatment
rooms afford beautiful views – little wonder, then, that Leisureways
Magazine named Trillium the "Best Place to Get a
Massage".
