This Fall’s Top 5 Reasons to Visit Muskoka’s Iconic Deerhurst Resort

Escape Midweek & Save 25%

With the summer rush gone, now is the perfect time to experience a different side of Muskoka. Just minutes from the charming town of Huntsville and famed Algonquin Provincial Park, Deerhurst Resort makes the perfect home base for some of the province’s best Fall colour routes, locally-inspired harvest flavours, energizing outdoor activities and a series of exciting special events.

As the predominant reds and oranges blanket the lakeside landscape, there’s lots of adventures to enjoy – from boat tours and beach strolling to hiking and horseback riding.  Or take a scenic drive to nearby Algonquin Park, relax at the Shizen Spa, and light up your night at the resort’s fun-filled live show, Decades.  Best of all, from now through the end of October, midweek guests can save 25% off regular room rates.  Read more and book your trip here.

Play a Muskoka Masterpiece Free (with Room)

From now through October 19, take advantage of Deerhurst’s “Free Golf with Room” package for an midweek overnight golf trip that costs less than you’d expect for green fees alone. While the resort boasts two courses including the shorter Deerhurst Lakeside, it’s the Deerhurst Highlands that lures golfers here like magnets to experience the course that put the region on the map of Canadian golf destinations. There’s no need to be daunted by its length or championship quality though. With six tees from which to choose you can tailor the course to the length that suits your game. And its dramatic layout is lauded for fairness and playability. From just $109*/person, the Free Golf with Room Offer provides the perfect incentive to finally hit the big links. Read more here.
