Overall the tour couldn’t have been better! In his tour around his sugar farm, Tom explained us in detail the entire production of maple syrup, most important things to remember, short maple history lessons included ;) The tour ends with an insight in his valuable antique collections and a nice and delicious little maple products tasting. What we really liked about the tour was the authenticity of everything (it is not one of the farms just created for tourists) and the way Tom is giving the tour by integrating everyone, making some jokes etc. You can feel he’s passionate about the topic ;) We feel confident to be able to open our very own maple farm now :D Thanks Sugarbush Tom, great experience, we recommend it to all our friends!

I love going to Maple Bluff Farm each year. Their tour shows the immaculate conditions they keep for the maple harvesting. The owners (Bob & Michelle) are so friendly and passionate, producing maple products are delicious and varied ~ from their maple butter to BBQ sauce and dressings to pancake mixes. A “must see” farm in Huntsville.

We had a wonderful time in Huntsville looking at the stores and purchasing items at the various stores and did a walk about looking at the sculpture and outdoor wall murals and reading the signage about the paintings. We didn't see all of them, but did enjoy what we did see. The day was sunny and relatively warm. A glorious day - we would like to visit it again when it's a little warmer...maybe in July.

Historic downtown Huntsville is home to our largest retail location, with three floors of great gear and clothing for outdoor adventure. Backing onto the beautiful Muskoka River, our Huntsville store offers an amazing retail experience. Primarily a specialty outdoor store, with the emphasis on camping equipment, paddle sports, bikes, Nordic skis, snowshoes, and outdoor clothing and footwear. In the summer, the Huntsville store also offers canoe rentals and some outfitting services.

Our trip to the heritage village was timed perfectly, arriving at 11:20, and departing around 2. In this time we were able to tour all of the outside buildings, each unique with detailed numbered descriptions outlining the history and original location that they were built. Every single building is outfitted beautifully with detailed pieces from the period. We made it around to the train station for 12:20. There is a little museum that outlines the history of the portage flyer, and outside there are original pushcarts to view. The train left 10 minutes early at 12:50, after the conductor called “all aboard” for the second time (my 3 year old son loved this so much!) The train takes a slow ride along the scenic lake, stopping about 10 minutes in (where the engine will come around from the front to the back and pull you in reverse for the return trip.) Make sure you bundle up as the train is completely open to the elements. After the train ride, we visited Hill house which had been missed on the way. My husband and I both noted how much colder this building was than the others. On the second floor at the very end of the hall, there is a bedroom on the right that I saw a shadow walking. We were the only ones there. I wasn’t aware at the time that this building is apparently haunted until I looked it up afterwards. I don’t think it was a bad presence because my son was laughing, and loved this building. If you’re a skeptic, go see for yourself :) We were then lucky enough to catch the candle making workshop for 1:30. Each person in your group gets a string which you dip in a cauldron of wax until your candle is formed. What a unique keepsake! The staff were all wonderful and dressed in period clothing. We hope to come every year so that the little guy can continue to learn something new. Highly recommend for families of all ages!

We arrived to an immaculate cottage and enjoyed a beautiful winter weekend at Diamond in the Ruff. They had a fire going and got chocolate and we were able to borrow snow shoes at the welcome center. There was a beautiful trail on the property as well. Comfortable beds and furniture and wonderfully stocked kitchen ! Loved the screened in porch as well. We didn’t use as it was cold but a nice touch!
