Authentic Italian cuisine owned and operated by a local Italian family. 2-time appearances on the food network show “You Gotta Eat Here,” this place is not to disappoint. Get the lasagna, it’s amazing!

Garden Center

Great spot to go in the fall. They deck the place out in fall-themed decor; beautiful to walk about with kids. They also have a field maze, pumpkin slingshots and a small farm with animals to see. Daily crafting classes also offered for kids and adults alike.

Camping and outdoor activities

For the outdoor enthusiasts, this place offers great day passes for trail use all year round. Hiking and biking trails in the summer turn into x-country ski and snowshoe trails in the winter. In the summer months, canoe/kayak rentals available to paddle to the falls. In winter, they’re most known for their 1km loop outdoor skating trail. Beautiful day excursion, but even better on their “fire&ice” nights when they light the trail with torches. Very unique and romantic.

Ride on a historic steam boat cruise on Lake Muskoka. See website for cruise times. We’ve been on the sunset dinner cruise and afternoon tea cruise. Both were amazing and relaxing.

Drive or walk up the daunting hill to see 180 degree view of downtown Huntsville and Fairy Lake. Very popular in the fall season; might want to get there early to beat the crowds!

There’s a beautiful little walk that runs along the falls and a cute park for kids within view of the falls. Great spot to visit for families or first-time visitors. Right downtown Bracebridge, it’s a place you could grab a coffee and talk a short walk to.

Beautiful rapids about a 3min drive from our house. When we want a long walk we’ll go here. Beautiful all-year-round place to see and a local gem not too many like to give away.

Local shopping experience

Great day trip to a small waterfront town. High-end shopping experience all along the mainstreet and riverfront boardwalk. This is mostly a summer-only thing, as most of the stores are seasonal and their target market is cottagers.
