Living in Huntsville
Huntsville is Muskoka's urban anchor — larger than Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, with a hospital (Huntsville District Memorial Hospital), a more complete commercial base, and the distinction of having hosted the 2010 G8 Summit at Deerhurst Resort. Deerhurst, on Peninsula Lake north of Huntsville, is one of Ontario's premier resort destinations — a full-service lakefront resort with golf, spa, conference facilities, and year-round programming that has been the venue for numerous major Canadian events. The town's Main Street has been revitalized with independent restaurants and shops that function year-round rather than just in cottage season.
Algonquin Provincial Park's western gate is 30 minutes from Huntsville on Highway 60 — meaning residents have easy access to one of Canada's greatest wilderness parks for day hiking, camping, and paddling. Lake of Bays and Peninsula Lake provide local boating. The Muskoka arts community — painters, sculptors, and the group tradition that goes back to the Tom Thomson era — is concentrated around Huntsville. Average prices around 35,000 reflect Muskoka's premium combined with genuine urban services.
