Vacation On Lake Ontario
Vacation on Lake Ontario is committed to enriching the quality of the lives of people of all abilities by providing recreation and therapeutic experiences that stimulate growth and independence.
Vacation on the Ontario side of Lake Ontario, offers a great choice of hotels and resorts. including family resorts, offers you a wide variety of hotels to choose from.
I’m writing a blog post about vacationing on Lake Ontario. The idea is to target people around the Lake Ontario area that are looking for a great vacation spot. I want the post to be appealing to those readers, so I will make it fun, but also informative. The post should give a full list of accommodations and attractions in the area; it will be based on feedback from locals and people who have already visited this region.
From the fun of being a kid to the adult-oriented excitement of being with some friends, this is your chance to do much more than catch fish and make memories. In addition to excellent fishing, you will enjoy all that Lake Ontario has to offer. Between Sackets Harbor on the east end and Oswego on the west side, you can explore sandy beaches and small towns. Ride roller coasters at Canada’s Wonderland or play miniature golf at Adventure Golf. Shop till you drop in Seaway Mall or hit the slot machines in Turning Stone Casino (17 miles away). And if Watertown is too far away for dinner and a movie, then join them for dinner instead at any of ten restaurants in Port Ontario or two in Sackets Harbor.
I went to Toronto with my friends during the long weekend and we went to see the city and went to Canada’s Wonderland. We had a great time, I can’t wait till the next vacation where we will go on vacation again.
COTTAGE SEASON IS here again, which means its time to don your swimsuit and plaid shirt, pack up your bevvies and head into the wilderness. For those of us who don’t own our own escape from the city, there are Ontario cabins for rent in all shapes and sizes.

ONTARIO’S COOLEST CABINS AND COTTAGES TO RENT
1. THE ECO CABIN, MUSKOKA
https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgI-xeslca/embed/?cr=1&wp=700&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fescapism.to&rp=%2Fguides%2Fvacation-ideas%2Fcabin-rentals-ontario%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A5871.699999988079%7D
Come rain or shine, snow or heatwave, this stamp-sized cabin, perched on a tree-filled homestead in Muskoka, was hand-built by its owners out of materials from their property — and it shows in the love and care that’s been poured into its construction. While away balmy summer nights in the hammock in the cabin’s outside area — almost as big as the indoor space itself — cleverly protected by screens so you can sip and snack to your heart’s content without pesky insects gatecrashing your evening. And because, y’know, all that’s very tiring, from there all you need to do is climb the ladder to your fairytale sleeping loft and rest your weary, wine-y head.
Sleeps two. From $150 a night. airbnb.ca
2. AUX BOX, MUSKOKA

Bringing new meaning to the phrase ‘box room’ is this cube-shaped cabin, complete with log burner, hot tub, campfire… (the last two aren’t actually inside the cabin, duh). Floor-to-ceiling terrace doors look out over seemingly endless woodland, but you’re only an eight-minute drive from Main Street, Huntsville. This is back to basics, though, with a composting toilet and no running water — except for the outdoor shower — and you’ll be cooking on a hot plate when the fire isn’t in action.
Sleeps two. From $250 a night. @aux_box_muskoka
3. OTTER HAVEN AT OTTER LAKE, MUSKOKA
Haven by name, haven by nature. We can’t speak for all the otters out there, but this brand-new gem looks pretty darn lush to us. It sleeps four to six across two bedrooms, which gives it an edge over the more, ahem, cozy cabins out there. And best of all is the location, just on the edge of motor-free Otter Lake. No noise, no people, no nothing, just you and the wilderness. Otterly perfect (sorry, not sorry).
Sleeps five. From $350 a night, two-night minimum. airbnb.ca
4. WANDER, PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY
1 of 6
Prince Edward County, home to wineries, waterside restaurants and now Wander, a new resort on the beach in West Lake. And these are cabins, yes, but not just any old cabins: made fancy, with sleek grey Nordic accents, sleeping up to six people. Get the gang together for a well-deserved weekend away, drinking pinot on the beach wrapped up in your favourite sweater, warming yourself by a campfire under starry skies. Can you picture it? Yeah, we can too — and we like what we see.
Sleeps up to six. From $790 a night, two-night minimum. wandertheresort.com
5. MICA CABIN, TAY VALLEY
https://www.instagram.com/p/B7iq2vQFg9M/embed/?cr=1&wp=700&rd=https%3A%2F%2Fescapism.to&rp=%2Fguides%2Fvacation-ideas%2Fcabin-rentals-ontario%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A7484%7D
Who needs cell reception when you’ve got your own private lake? And your own private deck overlooking said lake. And your own kayak to explore said lake. This cabin is made by the cabin connoisseurs at Cabinscape, who make, well, cabins around Canada. Mica Cabin has an open kitchen overlooking the water, a double bed and a sleeping loft (it sleeps four) and everything you need for the dreamiest weekend away. Cabinscape describe it as their most remote site, too, sat in the Rideau Conservation Area in the Tay Valley.
Sleeps four. From $179 a night. cabinscape.com
6. CAMP LILLIAN, GILMOUR

If a gingerbread house is your ideal home, you’re in luck: Camp Lillian’s wooden cabin is the stuff fairytales are made of (Prince Charming not included). And this is a gingerbread house with some seriously sweet extras. The 13 acre plot is home to a main cabin, a yurt and a ‘bunky’ (or a sleepable wooden outhouse), so grab your crew for a long weekend here. Hike, canoe and laze in a hammock to your heart’s content — just look out for an old crone offering you sugar-spun treats…
