Best Gravenhurst holiday apartments

The town of Gravenhurst calls itself the ‘Gateway to Muskoka’ a title you will see written across a large archway to the south of the town. This is cottage country for wealthy Torontonians and renting a holiday apartment in Gravenhurst will have you right in their midst. A holiday apartment in Gravenhurst from 9flats is like couchsurfing in Gravenhurst but with the added comfort and privacy of your own room or entire apartment. Instead of staying at a holiday resort, you stay where the locals live and play. Gravenhurst is a great base from which to explore the Muskokas, a fabulous landscape of lakes and forests, dotted with cabins and chalets. Many of the residents of these cabins use Gravenhurst as their centre for supplies. Fishing and boating are major pastimes in the area and there is great walking country but the town itself has more to offer.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Gravenhurst

Your holiday accommodation in Gravenhurst is a perfect base from which to get to know the town. The nearest airport is Toronto and there is little public transport so you are likely to drive to Gravenhurst and a car is useful for getting around. The Muskoka Steamships though will get you out of your car and are a great way to see the lakes. Also visit the Muskoka Boat and Heritage Centre and the New Heritage Museum to get a flavour of the history and culture of the area. Adding to that culture, Gravenhurst also has an opera house.

Moving on from your vacation home in Gravenhurst

Elsewhere in the area, a holiday apartment in Orillia will let you explore this picturesque harbour on Lake Simcoe, admire the sailing boats and motor cruisers in the harbour and wander down its sleepy downtown area, an unspoiled leftover from past times. When you are ready for a change of pace, a holiday apartment in Toronto will see you enjoying a cosmopolitan city. Taking a cue from New York State across Lake Ontario, this multicultural city manages to mix American influences with a typical Canadian atmosphere to provide an exciting and rewarding destination for a city break.

Elsewhere in Canada and into the USA

Moving west, a holiday apartment in Calgary will let you experience a heady combination of booming oil city and traditional cowboy town. Here you will find a vibrant and youthful city with a good club scene and many fine restaurants. It is also a great centre for winter sports, having hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics and in summer the Calgary Stampede is a world famous festival of all things cowboy. Move over the border into the US and a holiday apartment in Chicago is just perfect for some vacation shopping. Cruise the Miracle Mile of Michigan Avenue and admire probably the best skyscraper skyline in North America. Wherever you journeys take you, 9flats has accommodation in the world’s best destinations. So to add some authenticity to your vacation accommodation, remember to book with 9flats.
