“It’s the perfect package to experience everything Huntsville has to offer in winter, from outdoor adventures to dining and more,” said Jesse Hamilton, general manager of Deerhurst Resort and chair of the Huntsville Municipal Accommodations Tax Association, which is offering the program.

“Winter in this part of Muskoka will delight everyone, from families looking for an iconic Canadian experience, to folks seeking a mid-week escape,” he added. “And the scenery is as picturesque as it gets, it truly is a beautiful season.”

The regional tourism organization, known as Explorers’ Edge, is partnering on the promotion, and the company welcomes visitors from urban centres in particular, said James Murphy, executive director.

“Winter in the country is so different from the city, with frozen lakes and snow-tipped forests providing a stunning backdrop,” he noted. “From skating at the iconic Ice Trail at Arrowhead to snowshoeing on trails, from tasting seasonal cuisine to warming yourself by an indoor or outdoor fire, nothing beats enjoying the best that the season has to offer just two hours north of Toronto.”
