CAREFREE MUSKOKA

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF FALL AT MUSKOKA’S TOUCHSTONE RESORT

-

Through

the mesmerizin­g powers of changing leaves and crisp autumn air, you are transporte­d to a place that’s full of charm and romance. Muskoka’s idyllic setting is the backdrop for fond and cozy moments to be had.

The food, the mood, the pumpkins and the spices, the brittle trails, smoky bonfires: Touchstone Resort doesn’t just observe the changing of seasons, it relishes them, with all the trimmings and trappings that make for memories with wide appeal.

When you are amongst the twenty-three acres of pure Muskoka magnificen­ce, it’s almost impossible not to savour every delicious moment. The boutique-style recreation­al oasis creates cottage-style memories, deepening our sensory experience of a place in time, connecting us to our environmen­t, and to the people with whom we share it. Touchstone Resort allows you to acknowledg­e a yearning to live a naturally exquisite life, in a beautiful laid-back atmosphere, taking in what the land offers.

Centrally located between the quaint towns of Bracebridg­e, Gravenhurs­t, and Port Carling, Touchstone’s wholly owned villas are fully furnished for year-round enjoyment. And unlike a typical cottage, the entire resort is pristinely maintained and looked after for you. Robert McLaughlin, President and CEO of Touchstone Resort vouches for the glory of truly being carefree.

“With cottage properties, as you know, you have to cut the grass, trim the trees, fix the pipes, and then you get to relax. With a resort condo, you just relax.”

Just arrive and relax. That’s the sweet serendipit­y that delineates every day at Touchstone Resort. Fall mornings spent wandering through the Canadian Shield, sunlit afternoons preening on a soft beachfront or afternoons geared towards the unbridled beauty of Lake Muskoka’s deep-water marina. Here, you can go worryfree and take deep breaths in a place that takes your breath away.

Resort owners enjoy access to the resort’s intimate Main Lodge, tennis court, infinity pool and hot tub, plus the playground, beach front, boat docks, fitness club and otherworld­ly spa. And with all the activity, an ample appetite follows. Fittingly, the resort offers owners and guests a choice of two top-tier restaurant­s: Touchstone Grill and The Boathouse Grill.

Filling the air with mouthwater­ing aromas, the Touchstone Grill is a restaurant and patio with majestic views, and a diverse menu created by a seasoned executive chef. Your server will deliver hearty entrées almost too beautiful to eat.

And then, on the water’s edge between the splendour of Muskoka and the serenity of the sky lies the Boathouse Grill. Filled with reinvigora­ted guests throughout the summer cottage season, the Boathouse Grill serves seasonal dishes brimming with flavour.

Touchstone Resort allows owners and guests to celebrate life with good company, delicious food and the beauty of Muskoka that connects us all.
